I don't really understand the tax credit thing either but it must be awful waiting for a letter - how come that girl sitting on her jacksy all day is getting so much and not getting it reduced?? Something wrong with that when others work really hard for each penny!! Heart goes out to you guys

Pulling a fast one somewhere, methinks :mad:

Am thinking about holding a sale in the house for some of the stuff i have to get rid of - anyone done anything like that?? not sure if it would work or not!! what do you all think??

That's very brave...:cool:

Oh forgot to say thats me up to £31.40 now

Just in from work. Listed lots on fleabay but didn't actually make any money today

Edit: that didn't work out quite how I thought...

That post still doesn't look right. My replies are in the middle of the quote! Technology! Pah!

Oh does anyone know if there is a phone app for scanning books for trading in? or is it just music?

Evening all :wave:

Had a lovely night with DH, went for a meal with his commission yum. Needed it, been a funny old week...

So, inputted the last two of this weeks mystery shops, defo going to start getting back into them. Used to do loads 'back in the day' when I first started doing this challenge a few years ago but dropped off lately (there doesn't seem to have been as many about lately??)

The tax credit thing is a joke, we had ours took off us last year and despite that we're on 'not bad' earnings - by no means are we financially sound, we're just surviving, add to that the fact that we both work in the public sector and have had quite hefty pay cuts the last 3 years... and it's all a bit
Hoo har, such is life! (Insert sarcastic, begrudging eye rolling smilie here)

ps - £5 mccains voucher for DH. Still waiting for my mystery one to arrive...!

Oh i don't know if anyone has used this site for books - i know a few people were looking for somewhere to trade in fiction books - looks like these guys accept them as well as textbooks etc http://www.abebooks.co.uk

Thanks Fairyclicks, I'll try that!

I have bought hard-to-find books for study and for nostalgic grandparents from abebooks - never sold them anything though...

We had our tax credits removed last year but this year with DH (he too works in the public sector) getting a wage cut in April, we may now qualify again. We should also be eligible for child benefit again. Doesn't quite make up for the loss in wages but still helps.

Forgot to say glad you enjoyed your evening out. And CP hope you enjoy your takeaway, I caved in and had one last weekend.

Am I right in thinking that the £5 Amazon voucher is best value on swag$$? I am really struggling to find time to be on there and hate watching the videos so am only up to 349 swag$$ and you all seem to be getting millions of $$ every lunchtime. Must have another look at this thing. In my spare time

It's not fair is it. I know there's people in worse positions so I shouldn't moan, but it seems really unfair that our wages keep going down and the cost of living keeps going up and up Boo hiss. I hope you sleep well Mr Cameron. :mad::mad::mad: Hope I never meet the man, the temptation to punch him straight in the chops might over power me. :mad:

Ohhhh CP, what take away did you have? I skimmed the posts but missed that bit, do apologise. That's what a bottle of red and lack of glasses does isn't it
