    Monkeynut that is fantastic for your friend. It's always that much better when it goes to someone who really deserves it. I'm jealous too though ;)

    Themoneyspider - I'm heading to the get fit-debtfree-and sparkle thread now. Actually I feel like a big fraud writing that as I'm not really in debt anymore as I've pretty much got the credit card covered. But I love it here...don't make me leave...:)

    Also I wanted to talk about the moneymaking that dare not speak it's name. Yes that's right, I'm talking about...sausages! I'm so shocked at how many people seem to be faking using our sausages to get others to use theirs. It's happening to quite a few of us by the looks of the fb group. Can't believe how mean some people are - I can't imagine I'd ever be that hard up or greedy that that I would be conning other people out of a fair tenner. Anyone else having this problem? And id there anything we can actually do about it?

    Apologies if I've taken the sausage discussion too far but I needed a rant.

    Anyway, I'm adding £10 from Fab for someone who legitimately used my sausage. There are some good people in the world :)

    Love to all xx

    Just wanted to say anyone with an android or iPhone, that shops at Sainsbury, download the nectar app and then before going shopping, check ifthere are any offers. I did today and have double points activated.

    Sariebeth, the joys of referrals, there is nothing you can do about people claiming to have used yours. Mse don't moderate, Martin only allows referrals as goodwill. He isn't keen on them and you can see why. Just have to hope someone genuinely uses yours. You will find this with any forum, even moderated ones.

    Ps you don't have to leave because you are debt free. This is now about savings for you :)

    Thanks Aesop :)

    Yeah I know people will always cheat the referrals, I just think it's a shame people think like that! I'm just too nice, clearly lol

    I have £50 to add from a completely unexpected bonus from my lovely boss. Considering I've just been away on jury service for 2 weeks and she almost had a melt down from the sheer volume of work, I'm not sure I've earned it. But adding it happily non the less x

    I've been Money Tipped!
    A bit more positive today... No money earned yet, however DH has just given me his Blu Ray player and told me to get rid of it if i want. Quite excited about it as it should generate a nice amount. It also means i can sell my dvds which i've only ever watched once. May as well get the money as we really need it at the minute. :D

    A couple of ebay items ending tonight, only 1 had a bid of 99p but better in my pocket! ;)

    It is really sad that some people do this. :( I've only ever had two referrals on the board and luckily they have both been genuine, but you have to put trust in people in order to use a lot of the referrals or you lose money, so hearing that people are cheating really puts you off. It is a shame as the board is there to help people make a little extra money, now it seems more like a gamble as you can't be sure if you will pick a genuine referral and gain from it, or pick a cheat and lose money through it.

    You should get 1sb for using the toolbar everyday (but the day on sb starts at 8 and you have to open a new window in order after that for it to register that you are using it). You should get a you have won 1 swagbuck just for using the toolbar message pop up. If you check in your ledger and filter for 'bonus' you'll be able to see if you're being credited for it everday or not.

    nope, definitely not getting that everyday.... all those potential 1 sbs I have lost :cry:

    Strange... do you sometimes get it? Try closing and reopening your browser anytimer after 8 am if you've already had it open and you should then get credited.
