  • Woo! Sold a dress on ebay for £16.50 and returned a £15.99 handbag that was nice but not strictly needed.

    So that's £32.49 for my pot!

    Can I ask, please, in terms of moneys what is roadkill?!

  • Can I ask, please, in terms of moneys what is roadkill?!

    Hi Holly, roadkill is, as I understand it, any spare change/coins that you find, whether it's literally lying on the road/pavement, to hiding in pockets/old handbags, snuggled down the sofa, peeking out from under piles of paper (or is that just me??), all those odd little coins that appear at random or you pounce on from being left lying around :)

    They do add up! I use an old quality street jar for my coppers and a little china pot for the silver bits. It's nice watching 'em fill up!:T

    Hi all!

    Few updates for me, finally got my money from MySurvey and ViewsB so that's £23.09.

    Did some more jiggling with the 0% balance transfer on my new credit card. Fingers crossed should get a fair bit this week from Quidco then pay my car insurance (due on 20th not 27th like I thought - oops!)

    All gravy here :)

    Afternoon All!

    I cashed out £3 paypal from mysurvey yesterday and while hunting through the desk draw found £20 bonus bond vouchers from last years surveying :T So that takes me up to £37 / £310

    I will add some more bits to Amazon tonight and keep my fingers crossed for the freelance work that's on the horizon.

    Have a good day everyone xx

    Has anyone seen the Google adwords results when you search for swagbucks? It is to JPJ saying 'bored of taking surveys?' Very funny I thought!

    Does anyone know how the new AppTrailers share feature works? I've been doing some sharing to my Twitter and Facebook but not sure it is increasing my points. There's nothing in my history. Do referrals also show in your history? I've got none showing but I've blogged about it...which is unusual. Last year over 70 people signed up for Fabulous Bingo following my blog post so it would be odd to have nothing. Hm
    I like to make money
