Well, i've entered some competitions this morning for the mini challenge. I've also set up a new twitter account as i don't think my few followers will appreciate all my competition retweets. Lol. I also think i should perhaps set up another email address specifically for comping? I predict some spam coming through!

I'm now going through my "baking" cupboard and gonna start doing some baking and using up some of my stuff before it all goes out of date! Supposed to be going to Taybarns with DH and the kids this evening to celebrate the new job ect. Not sure if we are gonna go though. On the plus side, it will be the family deal all you can eat, 2 adults and 2 kids for £17.99. Its very rare that we go out as a family to eat so maybe we should go.

I think i've gone off track a bit... No money saving/making mentions

yes go for dinner, will do you the world of good. A nice treat is allowed

we are buying goldfish tonight

yes, separate email for comps.

there is a thread somewhere here on mse for twitter comps, where you can post your id, and other msers will follow you and you can follow them to tweet comps to each other, etc.

PS good luck with the comps, hope you win.

by the way the people I know who do twitter comps, win loads, as not many people seem to do certain ones, or the uptake is not that high.

As you are good with computers & money making, have you read the book `Get Rich Click` by Marc Ostrofsky. I have a copy and its a useful read, but I am not so good at computer jargon, but it might be useful to yourself.

thanks for the mention of the book, I will take a look later.

My month was begining to falter so I've stuck £46 of Tesco CC points on eBay to get me over the £300 mark. Hopefully they'll sell for £100 ish.

Other than this I got 6 x WW meals at £2.99 each for nothing and 6 bottles of coke Zero. That's lunches sorted all week so £10 saved. DOn't know if I include that?!

£16 in the swear jar over the weekend.:o:o:o:o

if you can put the £10 saved into a savings account or pay of a debt/bill, then yes you can include it, as it is money made that you can utilise.

Hi all - well sat down to sell books and having so much trouble - no one wants what I have to sell - eg Fat brain, Zapper, We Buy Books, Amazon, and others - best for me appears to be Green Metropolis - what's the score on this please? Anyone used them? I am not doing well at all - sat at PC for ages today - and other than a couple of comps and a free packet of Halls I am getting nowhere (groan.....). Maybe things will pick up next month.

My husbands uncle passed away about 2 weeks ago, he was a batchelor and lived alone. His nieces and nephews are responsible for sorting out his house. Yesterday we found an old bank book with a small amount of money in it. The bank book was dated 1953 but it looks as though the money has never been claimed. The bank is no longer in existence. Is there any way we can still claim this money as I'm sure it would be worth much more now.

His house is an absolute treasure trove, it has items going back to the 1930's and (don't know if its right to say this, but I hardly knew him and am not so emotionally attached), I'm absolutely loving discovering all the history.

Hi durham_mim

sorry to hear about your husband's uncle. It is nice to be able to see real life things from the 1930's and the history of it all. Shame he can't tell you about it, why he bought it etc but still must be fascinating.

Who is the executor of the estate? They can contact

http://www.bsa.org.uk/generalpages/whereismybsnow.htm

and they will be able to trace the account and what bank it is with now, and if it has not turned into another bank, then they will be able to advise on how to claim the money, but I believe the executor of the estate needs to do it.

it really depends on what your books are. I sold a non fiction book that was aimed at a particular market on green metropolis and it went for what I wanted, considering I won it in a comp and didn't want it, was very pleased. :money:

do you want to PM me about them, might be able to help then.

Thanks Aesop - I mustn't have the books they are looking for on the other sites. Thought I may take them on a car boot before I upload them on Green metropolis - but will see. Need to arrange a carboot soon - should make me some money.

It depends which one you get. Some of them may be high maintenance, but they may also bring maintenance of your other areas down a bit, and make some maintenance bits more enjoyable than self maintenance.

Shuuush, they are all grumpy and weird and life is better without them - i'm trying to convince myself and batteries are easier to maintain :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
