  • Ta Nat :D Times are indeed very tough! I would happily do the telesales even if i did not have the debt / big mortgage to repay. I have just been a bit worried that i wouldn't know what to say / be very good at it / how to respond to certain situations. I guess alot of these are just normal anxieties ?! Anyways times are so tough that the main thing stopping me right now is our incredibly rubbish phone - its really old and terrible - the line is really faint and its a cordless ? one but within minutes of starting a call the battery cuts out - even with new batteries :( It does need replacing but is way down on the list of priorities with so many other things to pay out. I really need to get onto this asap!

    Hugs DDFW, We recently had to buy a new house phone, while looking i did notice in Mr Ts they do a very basic Non cordless for around £4 if that helps see you through till you can upgrade :)

    Argh, been ages since I updated. Have a couple of weekends overtime, sold a book on amazon and had a voucher for Mr S. Getting there with my total, should make it I think :D

    Also sold an item on ebay, just waiting for them to pay and I will add it.

  • It does say you will be offered whether to you want to use them.
    But as I am only new to collecting like this, I'll leave the definitive answer to others.
    £10.08 to add from the shopping. Must find the receipts for the previous two weeks... Getting it delivered is saving us so much money - the DH can't put anything extra in the trolley and he can't spend hours reading the magazines if he's not actually in the store. He might actually get some house work done :D

    don't worry about asking questions, it is good to ask, you don't know how many people might be lurking thinking the same thing :)

    Yes, when you go to buy something, it will say to you, something like using your gift card/vouchers as part payment/full payment.

    But if you add another payment method, ie debit card, you can select debit card, and it will not touch your vouchers.

    In fact I have 2 accounts set up. One for my gift vouchers as I am saving for a kindle, and the other with my debit card details. It saves me accidentally using my gift cards. But you need another email address.

    Thanks guys :) Aesop, I think two accounts makes perfect sense, however I don't use Amazon all that much (hence not yet spent birthday voucher from Feb!) so think I can get by with one and being careful when I make a payment.

    Totally forgot I had relisted some items last weekend... got a bit of a shock when I started getting alerts through on my phone that my items had ended! Only 2 sold so far but it's an extra £7 or so before fees :)

    Dammit!!! I was dreading my upcoming exam anyway, but I've now found out that not only is it on one of my best friend's birthdays, but it's the day of England's first Euro 2012 match! :mad: My exam is 2.30-5.30, but the match starts at 5pm, and it will probably take me until at least 6.15pm to get to the pub... :(Dammit! :(

    Anyway, 94p to add. I bought DS1 a new wii game and it ended up being cheaper than it said on the label.
  • Oh dear, lots of job woes on here at the moment. I am also looking for something different but didn't even get an interview from my last application - was really suprised! :( :mad: :(

    Anyway, on to happier things, 30p voucher used and £30 birthday money from the lovely in-laws.

    Got a day off with the hubby tomorrow to celebrate my birthday so looking forward to that!

    Night all xxxx

    I've has some sales on ebay tonight but will wait until I have posted them to check if I have actually made any money!

    In laws here next weekend, so won't be able to do any listings, so hope no free listings next weekend.

    I've got a busy week coming up, so have set up May's thread a bit early, so feel free to ignore it for now until nearer the end of the month! Though if you want to be an early bird, feel free to pop your name down too!
    Aesop, I was going to message you, but was a bit early so not sure if you'd be on yet, so hope you don't mind my going ahead and doing May's challenge. :o

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/52660837#Comment_52660837 is the link to May's thread, will post again later in the week though.
