Two small wins today

Firstly, I received an Inland Empire film poster which I think is from this post - thanks zoepop47. I think I was aiming for a Mulholland Drive dvd as I'm too old for posters really, but hopefully ebay will appreciate it (some cheeky person has them in their ebay shop for £25!).

Then I received an email from a lady at lycos to say I'd won a signed Simply Red CD from this post - thanks kipper! Another one for ebay though, it's all good money towards my mortgage overpayments.

:D

    Well done. I have just noticed from your signature how well you are doing with your mortgage over payments Have comp wins helped much with these?

    Not too much has been comps so far - about £30 worth, though I've not sold the PS3 yet.

    The first £270 was a tax refund (I figured if I'd not missed it so far then I didn't need it that much), and I've been putting in £100 a month of 'my own' money then after that it's been a combination of on call payments from work, focus groups (£105), Quidco (£30), Pigsback vouchers (£38), Consumerpulse and surveys (£26), selling books (£30), cyberslotz, bingomania and rehab bingo winnings (no outlay required) (£80), my grand national sweepskate winnings (£30) and finally ebay (£75).

    I'm hoping to beat my target of paying it all off in 10 years. I just need to keep it up at this rate.
