    Yeah, 5 points per game ... then the 10 points once a week for clicking that button thing (I cant find an add game button either - so thought you meant that one :o .. so i clicked it and got the points :rotfl: - but only get it once a week )

    Didn't know about the tweety thing until i saw you mention it a few posts ago ... so have been missing out on that little gem :cool:

    yes you only get 10 points once a week - same with tweeting, and games... I did post again later I was posting on the hoof and didn't mean add a game :p just couldn't remember what it was.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Won at the bingo again this week so that's £800 in the last 2 weeks. The bad news is I needed 3 tyres for my cars, 2 for 1 and 1 for the other but at least the money is there to cover it.

    Adding £60 as my profit which is going straight into my sealed pot!

    Evening, quick post before bed... the 5am alarm is gonna be so bad tomorrow :( Spent the evening Zapper-ing and eBaying, although only got 5 items listed but managed to get BF to list 13, so jointly we'll be hopefully a bit better off next weekend! Staying in Travelodge tomorrow night (£19 deal cheaper than round trip for commute!) so will be charging mobiles, laptop etc there to save some home electric and I'll be trawling forums for more ideas! Thanks for euro coins tips, will tackle them on Wednesday night I think! Will defo update my signature tomorrow when I'm at work and worked out what this weekends 'earnings' are, oh and signed up for another MS for the end of the month, happy days! Right, I must sleep now! Night all!

    VIXEN & MONKEY ....

    Ladies ...

    Go to games page, click on any game ... when the game box opens .. at top right ... a little box says " collect 10 spud shillings for signing up for more stuff" ... thats what you need to click.

    But before you do ... go to your "my place" section ... bottom left where it says my preferences ... make sure none of those are ticked .. Then do the above ..... then go back to my place & untick them again ready for next time. :p

    Sorry Aesop ... Mrs Oracle ... please dont beat me for jumping in :o

    Thanks for that tip - now just got myself an extra 10 spud shillings :j

  • lots more useful links to check out but it will have to wait until tomorrow as I'm ready for bed now. This thread really does move quickly - it's taken me ages to read and I've only missed 2 days!

    Not much to add to my challenge - I made £0.02 (yep 2p) from a link I have on my blog relating to a craft site! I'm adding it anyway as it all adds up.

    DH managed to get a few things listed on e-bay whilst I was at work today so hopefully that will add some money to the pot before the end of the month. Last night we started sorting through some CD's and managed to get 50 sold via MMagpie, they're being collected on Tuesday. I'll add the money once I've actually got it in my hand. Still got loads more to go through so hopefully lots more to be made there. One of my CD's was worth £3 (funny how it made me think twice about whether I wanted to get rid of it) but they were mainly in the 30p to 60p category. Also remembered to go through Quidco but again won't count that until it's physically been paid.

    I signed up for another coupld of hours overtime at work on Thursday evening. The short shifts aren't too bad. There's a long Saturday shift available but as that's my only day off over the weekend I'm not sure whether I want to work or not. I might just offer to do part of it.

    Had a good sort out in the children's bedrooms on Saturday and sorted out lots of stuff to sell. We also came across lots of long forgotten foreign coins so thanks for the links for the sites that will take those. We found 80 euros in notes so DH is going to take those to the Post Office or local Travel Agent and see if they will buy them from us. We're hanging on to our US$ as we hope to go back next year.

    So I need to update my signature to the tune of 2p but I'm pleased that I've got lots in the pipeline!

    Thank you to everyone for welcoming me to this challenge - it's great to think that for once I might actually take control of my debts and finally get rid of them once and for all.
