    Well done everyone! Thats some great coupon usage Nicky. :)

    My ebay sales have ended and have come in at just under £80 after fees (or will do once everyone pays) plus £35 from a gumtree sale, literally 3 mins after it was posted. Again, not putting anything in the sig til its in my account, but I will have passed my goal. Yay! This challenge, while I havent been able to post much, has def kept me motivated :) Thanks everyone
  • Hi All well done for today! seems that everyone is doing fab :beer:

    £25.00 today in Fb sales

    Total £31.00

    Yesterday i gave someone some toddler bedding, and they gave me 3 bottles of wine 1 white, 1 rose, 1 red as they didn't know what i liked (fortunately i like all 3) but since i have given up alcohol in a bid to keep down costs... they will go to people for birthdays so saving myself a £10 + £6.00 from pinecone :j :rotfl:

    Not adding this to my total as i am only using extra cash i get... :)

    Hello chaps, haven't posted in a while, been MIA! :D

    Had dads kids over to stay(technically my half siblings but there's a 20yr age gap so they feel like a niece/nephews) been hectic looking after them all on my own, really struggled sometimes. Haven't made much at all, I was so tired in the evening I would just flake out! Got a utility room full of carp so going to attack it later for ebayable stuff(most is car boot bar a few items)

    I did get £15.98 from gratis points and awaiting £20 from ondivice for filling out a survey everyday on my phone over the Olympics :D (sniff sniff its over buy yay for paras!)

    Alllllllso, I was doing me weekly shop in tesco today and had a few coupons to use. The lady put through the tesco ones then called her manager over to authorise the others. They were all manufacturer ones(from the shopping thread) and she dismissed them, said they must all be from tesco or have a safe coupon logo. Now I got a bit irate as last time I tried to use a SC they dismissed that saying they had changed their coupon policy! I told her I obviously know tescos coupon policy better than her and pointed to the sign above the cashier saying 'we are happy to accept any coupons from tesco or manufacturer if you have for the product the coupon is intended for' The trout put her foot down and refused causing a scene suggesting I had attempted fraud by printing 4 of the same coupon! Cheeky mare. So I rang CS and told them how embarrassed I felt and that they never accept coupons other than tesco ones and didn't even try to scan it to see if it worked. The lovely lady said she would ring the store to inform them of their coupon code, set up a reference number I could use if I'm having trouble in the store again and they will speak to the member of staff, and finally, she's sending me a lovely £15 voucher :D:D
    £20k in 2023 = £2718 £2023 in 2023 = £196.41 Grocery challenge £250= £195.80 **MONEY MAKES ME HAPPY**
