    A few bits and pieces - £1.65 free coffee from filling up my loyalty card, £3 shampoo on a multi offer and £4.10 partial refund on an ebay item which was scratched. I had not been seeking it as I was going to put it down to experience but I was v impressed by the seller's response.

    Wow - brilliant to see so much new action on the thread :) Not so brilliant that I now have to catch up again :o

    Well I have had a very productive weekend. Friday evening and Saturday were spent making things for an order I had for 22 party bags. This will give me £50 when I am paid for it on Weds :j

    On Sunday I was at a craft fair. I made a profit of £16 which is OK - not brilliant but better than a kick in the teeth :) However because lots of stallholders dropped out at the last minute the organiser said that I could have an extra table FOC to sell off all my Avon bits and bobs (I have just stopped doing it as I was losing money as I had to use the car to travel to and fro :().

    So I sorted through some of my returns (and also added some other Avon bits I had previously won at a local county show) and had £1 Avon table. I sold £27 and I also delivered an order to the organiser for £18. Now as I had already paid for/ won the items sold I am going to count the whole lot towards my total.

    So just from Sun (I will count the £50 when received) I can add a further £61 to my total :j:j:j:j

    That now makes me £97.18 :j:j:j:j:j

    Really chuffed with myself! 11p in roadkill in a couple of supermarkets plus a walk around Asda car park netted us 4 large receipts, the first two of which have just churned out 91p in vouchers!! Waiting on the time limit passing to check the other two! :D

    Loving the energy on here at the moment - its been a blah Monday for me so I need all the bounce I can get!!

    Evening all,

    I've added the following:

    £1.26 after fees and postage for eBay item paid for today.
    30p for selling a greeting card from my stash in the office.

    20p found under my desk at work and 1p off my drive.

    Nothing from Qmee and tutting at email that says refer a friend for 50p when I already have without the incentive :)

    I have 2 things ending on eBay this weekend, touch wood should do better than my usual couple of quid, I'm waiting for some cashback and have signed up for mystery shopping, all due this week. Have been promised a payment of £50 for a vintage camera I sold when payday comes near end of month, have also been advised I may be due some compensation from BT.

    I want to downgrade my packaged bank account after having a rethink and cancel a gym membership all of a month of signing up.

    It all helps. . . I like to feel I'm chipping away.

    Good luck all for continued money spinning xx
