    Right, ebayed a couple of things which will hopefully earn enough profit fo rme to get a few bits from Ebay for Christmas :)

    Not done much at all tonight - tried to get through to a friend who I'm really worried about but she's not answering her phone - although that could be because I'm calling from Oh's phone as I forgot my phone at school - silly me! The one night I need my own one!

    Am going to try for the third time (did leave a message explaining diff phone) and then try tomorrow instead :(

    On a DFW note, I have cashed in various things today - IPSOS £10 argos voucher - another one :) - mutualreward points too - 1000 points which I worked out to be $50 so should be about £23 when it eventually comes through - up to 8 weeks. Also got some quidco things tracking (pennies really but all good) which should be paid in Feb.

    Off to check topcashback and order M-i-L's perfume for bargain price :)

    Need to check my acc - just down and it's ok, still about £50 left this month so will quickly get m-i-l's perfume while I still have it! Also need to get some vouchers for Great aunt & uncle, but will have a look to see if I can get cashback for those.

    Nearly at £10 in pigsback as well - would be nice to get that before Christmas.

    That is a pretty impressive lot coming from various survey sites and cashback sites Sea :beer: I love logging all the money / vouchers I'ce earned ... all my mates think I'm mad doing clicks and surveys and stuff, but at the end of the year when I add up how much its all generated I am sooo impressed ;):D

    My friends feel the same - they think I'm mad!! My head of department couldn't believe I was so gutted when I discovered you couldn't buy vouchers online from Mothercare - he'd agreed to let me go through Quidco as he was about to buy some as a Christmas pressie :)

    Hi Sea, I am hoping to do the "free Christmas 2008" challenge (sounds like I should have a sticker to go with the "free Nelson Mandela" one I have on my music case!!) so might be picking your brains soon about which survey sites to do........if that's ok? You seem to do so well out of them!!

    I hope you have a good day today x

    Today was ok - INSET at school so that was nice - I have started Bonus Ball to raise money for the staff asscoiation (or start it off as there isn't one!) so feeling quite positive from that.

    Bonus ball is a grid with 1-49 on it and then people choose a number and pay a £1 for it - then whatever number is the bonus ball on the lottery on sat, that person wins £25 - the £24 left over is for the staff associations funds for subsidised social events, flowers/gifts etc for illness, births marriages etc. and I'll be in charge of buying it all! :D So will be doing it through quidco etc. I don't feel bad about this as no one was doing this before so it wouldn't get done if I hadn't decided to so it!
