    YAHOO!!!!!!! Got a 15p survey! Cannot believe I finally got a payout! Joined in about 2005 I think! A very handy extra £40 for me :D

    AND....

    One of the many Amazon vouchers I ordered has now arrived so I can at least carry on shopping for Christmas (wahoo for Christmas!).

    PLUS

    I was amazing in Costco and spent £45 (budget was £35 max.) - but this was £10 for a Christmas present (so a different pot of money) AND I don't think we'll need to go food shopping next week so technically the whole event was a bargain move :D

    I'm feeling all overwhelmed with Onepoll excitement!:D:D:D:j:j:j:j

    Wow...well done you - a triple whammy!

    Bask in the glory:T

    You're obviously doing something wrong if it's taken you that long - like answering screening questions honestly ;).

    Well done, enjoy the OP :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    One of the items is a set of curtains, double bedding and cushions to match - they have literally been used twice as they were in our guest bedroom (and we evidently don't get many guests!). They cost about £100 for the set so I don't want them to sell for 99p but equally I realise they probably won't sell for more than about £10 if I'm lucky - anyone got any suggestions of where else to sell them other than eBay? They are absolutely pristine.

    Have you tried Gumtree? Or Vivastreet? I have had more success on gumtree recently than ebay. Its like the newspaper classifieds so no bidding and no fees and no traipsing to the post office!! Not tried Vivastreet but friends have and you get £1.61 if you go through TCB.
    They are worth a try! :D
