    Positivity is the key there is a reason why life happens. Find your rainbow and ride it.
  • Well below target at £52.80, all only from overtime, as I didn't get myself organised and sell anything!

    Next month I will only be recording selling amounts, as anything else (e.g. overtime) will get added into my general savings pot, whilst anything I sell will be used straight away to pay my debts down.

    hi,
    I have a small questions. I collected 20000 points in shopandsc. I would like to change them for a Amazon vouchers, but late not now (when I collect more points from other sites). Could I keep this points on the site and buy vouchers later or take them now? And maybe silly question: how long this vouchers are valid? I wanna buy dishwasher from vouchers in April but I don't know if I can keep so long vouchers. If you know what I mean. Sorry I am a bit messy today.
    Many thanks for any advise
