I order a voucher roughly every 4/5 weeks now, but DH has an account too so between us we get £10/mth which isn't bad for a few minutes time

The first one is easier as you get the extra 200 shillings for completing the extra info (think it's a survey) then you get roughly 80/wk from just playing the few games and tweeting one of them... so it is easy to add the points up. The games literally take under a minute to do between them, so long as you click 'play' it registers it.. you don't actually need to play them like I was to start with lol.

The vouchers are handy as since I started doing them about 2/3 months back (thanks Aesop ) I've received 3 x £5 and ordered another £5.. and I'm saving them for Christmas pressies :santa2:

Thanks for the tip on not actually having to play the games - that goldfish never seems to be able to answer my questions anyway :rotfl:

I have spent all night going through my boxes of books on zapper. I have checked four boxes of book and only 4 of them will be accepted. Quite annoying. I must buy trashy books that no one else wants!!

I have four more boxes and 3 bookcases to go through. Hopefully I will make the minimum of 25 or I will have to sneakily try the BF books. We have enough between us to fill a small library.

Maybe you should consider changing your username?!

Thanks for all the useful suggestions here. :T Still lots for me to try to up my total this month.

I have finally roused myself from my slothful posterior to go through my craft cupboard and have identified a number of books to go on Amazon/eBay & also some crafty stuff that I won't use to add to the eBay listing.

I also snooped on the premium bonds site to find that young Ern has smiled on me this month with unexpected generosity. That's another £125 towards this month's total.

Oh well done on the £125 thats a nice wee surprise for you

woohooo!!!!! Put 16 things on Ebay... and have 1 bid already and someone messaged to see if they could collect... it's only a hat so we will see about that! :cool:

Even though they did not give me free listing (booooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:) it seems there are a lot of people browsing... so a bit of encouragement for myself and everyone to get ebaying and listing!

I had a problem with ebay too caused by bad feedback on postage - its such a rubbish system now!!

Though just after that my mum decided it would be a good idea to open an account and she got free listings.......;)

£10 Argos voucher dropped onto the doormat today from Shop and Scan, and we popped into the inlaws and there was 2 more waiting from OHs S&S and Consumer Pulse
Think I have enough to order at least one more already from one of mine, and will be another 2 lots of £10 by the end of the month with CP. Not bad since we've recently moved and have been buying quite a lot of furniture/storage bits and pieces from Argos, and got B&Q and Homebase vouchers just before we moved to cover some decorating! Really pleased with the amount we've had from them lately!!

Don't think I've anything else to add though, although I feel like I'm about £80 up as I thought we had a water bill to pay but when I went to pay it this morning I realised it actually said we were in credit! But won't ask for it back or anything, will just mean that it's £80 less to find next time. Not exactly sure what's happening with it as it's all to do with the fact that we've just moved house, but will wait and see when the next bill comes!
Have had dinner at the in laws last week, and at my parents, and a free dinner from a MS visit as well, so feeling quite good about the food shopping budget for this month so far!! Won't add any specific savings for this though, will just be glad I've not got to go shopping so soon after I've had the baby.

Still deliberating over Ebay listings. Don't know whether to go for short 3 day listing or long 10 day ones. Wish I knew when this bloomin' baby would turn up! Doesn't it know I've got lots of things still to sell!!!

I just worked out that I've got £50.00 net overtime to come!!
I'm not going to add it to my totals till I've got it in my hand.

Well i didn't manage to get any listings done on ebay.... Life can get in the way sometimes can't it! Anyway, i can't sleep tonight, so i'm up with the laptop and 10 items to list. Lets see if i can get it done before i feel tired. Aiming for 10 now, then another 10 tomorrow afternoon. Think i'll do them all on 10 day listings too.

Right....less chat, more action! Will update if i manage to get them listed


UPDATE: Managed to get TWELVE auctions ready for tomorrow night! All written out, just photos to upload... Yawwnnn....off to bed now!
