    Hi Dezzi (and everyone else still awake at this ghastly hour),

    I'm saving up my quidco/topcashback/pigsback earnings untill christmas. i'm doing not too bad just now, but I don't wanna touch them either.

    AND as soon as I have my first wage in from the telephone job I'll be looking into matched betting. My boyfriend has his reservations about it, but I'm a keen (and sensible) gambler,, and I learn quickly too.

    I just hope I start earning before I get evicted/ get the power cut off :rotfl:
    Debt free since 2014 - now saving for a mortgage deposit :heart2:
    This time I'm on top of it! We live and learn :coffee:

    Hiya Dezzi :) 42 quids pretty good going, eh?

    I registered with Freefivers with the link you sent but the confirmation email never arrived. So I registered again just incase I mis-typed my addy, but nope, nothing, not even in my spam folder :(

    What are petrol returns? Expenses? Until I know if they made you cry good or made you cry bad, I will be like this smiley:confused:

    Ohhh I forgot - I found out last week I'm due several hundred in backpaid tax allowances mid-way through the month but I dont think I'l count it as I didnt do anything to get it :rotfl:

    Have a great week everyone :beer:

    Well done to everyone.


    Right, evenough of my slacking its really not been that acceptable, I have had a week off. yesterday was pointless as I had hangover from hell and spent most of the time laying on the sofa and sleeping haha

    Todays tasks are AS FOLLOWS
    1) DO ALL CLICKS
    2) list 3 things on ebay tonight
    3) pack up books for oh to send tomorrow
    4) email work about my second job money
    5) organise all books at home

    think weve made about 30 quid more now on amazon, and also i sorted 10 from the grocery budget. :D So we are over the 100 mark - just!

    Hi all! :hello:

    Dead chuffed today - my first ever item on ebay sold yesterday! :j Was a bit nervous cos until Sunday morning I only had one 99p bid, before it went nuts early afternoon and loads of people seemed to bid at once! It was addictive just checking ebay to see how it was doing - I think I nearly wore out the F5 key from refreshing so much!!! :rolleyes:

    Anyway, now I'm no longer an ebay virgin, I've listed another 11 items so we'll see how they go.

    Totals so far then:

    AQA: £78.30 (oops! been slacking with AQA a bit :o)
    Quidco: £198.66 tracked/validated/received
    MBing: £31.62
    eBay: £20.99
    Other: £10.24

    Total: £339.81

    Hi everyone

    I have had my abscess drained and the relief is unbelievable!!! I feel so much better even though I can't talk very well at the moment.

    I feel a bit more positive now and the best thing is that I'm still off sick until Thursday so it's moneymaking all the way!!

    I have just been accepted for a mystery shop at a gaming centre where I get £10 for doing it and £10 to gamble with so hopefully I can get some money back in winnings :D . I've also got another one on Saturday which is a free meal and £5 for the visit.

    I did some AQA yesterday but felt so pap that it just wasn't worth doing much. I also still didn't get my items listed on Ebay but I will 100% list them tomorrow evening.

    I will get some questions done today though, I am aiming to get an extra £30 on my total to bring me to the £600 mark :D

    I have also got a load of surveys to complete that will in total add £22.50. I have just finished one that is worth £4. I can't get the money out until I reach £30 though.

    Have a great day everyone :D
