    I've sold 2 items on ebay but only for 99p each - will have to weigh up whether it's better to car boot items instead.

    I'm so out of this challenge it's unbelieveable. :rotfl: I guess aiming for £300 in two months whilst living on a giro was a bit much :rolleyes:

    I've got an interverw tomorow at 2pm working for jobcentreplus, so please keep me in mind folks, I really need that job.

    A question for you AQA folks, do you all have degrees? I just noticed it was a requirement to apply, so there's no point in me applying when there are vacancies in the U again :( Oh well.

    Keep up the good work folks xx

    Wishing you every dreg of luck i can muster for tomorrow hun :j

    Do keep us informed how you go and for gods sake, make sure you have a good nights kip so you are bushy tailed for it
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Thanks Lynz, I'll be going to bed at 11 when I get back from my mums tonight. Tomorow is signing on day and I've got a parcel to post for Ebay, so I'll be running around like a mad woman before 2pm.

    It's only a 3 month contract, but hopefully I'll get it!

    well my home town was flooded today and after driving through a road which was subsequently closed 10 mins later I thought I was lucky to get through it, then on the way to Tescos local radio today me that the other route back was closed due to a crash and floods ......... then that emergency services were resucing people by boat. So I ended up wandering around Tescos in no rush to make an attempted journey home.

    I once watched a programme about tescos and it said always go to the reduced aisles first, which I did and I got some chickens for £1.25 each as well as so other things which I wouldn't normally buy due to budget restrictions. The male SA on the till was lovely accepted all my vouchers and proudly announced to all and sundry this lady has just saved £50 off her shopping !!

    My ms jobs have dried up and with 4 kiddies home from school I will be unable to do so many. Some of my quidco is still not tracking which is a tad annoying. OH wants to join quidco - is that allowed ? or is it one per household ?

    I really need to spend some time on this PC clicking tomorrow - DD1 and DD2 are looking forward to their copies of HP coming tomorrow. Did you see Asda are now selling them for £5ish a copy ? one of the staff in tescos was telling me.

    Still I am hoping for sunshine on sunday for a car boot - fingers crossed then I can really add to my totals.

    bye for now from wet Wales

    YES YES YES WelshDragon you can have more than one account. My OH and I have one each and have jsut appliead for an Egg credit card each ( £35 each) and I have just applied for an AMex card ( OH already has one) for £30.

    Easy money so if you ever apply for a CC even if you have joint finances (Like we do) don't add a person to the account because this way you can get twice the Quidco, also you can do twice the Quidco clicks.

    Get applying
