    I commented on Pick Me Up magazine's Facebook page to give a reader advice on her dilemma and I've received a message saying they'd like to feature my comment in the magazine, out November 21, and they'll send me a cheque for £25! I'm not going to count it towards my total until I've received the cheque but I'm chuffed!

    That must be a fake!!

    Nope! A twenty pence and a penny sitting under a double row of seating that I spotted walking through the station, walked round the other side but had to drop to my knees to reach. I don't tell porkies - I leave that to my ex! :D

    Well done! They've emailed me to say they are using a photo of my DS2 in their Winter Special out 31st October, and they are paying me £25 too :D. Like you, I will add it when I get it, but like you I'm chuffed! Xx

    Just had a letter today from Tax Credits. I had forgotten to renew in July (I know, I know!!!) and was not really top of my lsit to do as my youngest is 20 at the beginning of Dec but they reckoned they had overpaid us and so I filled in form and sent it back expecting a 'tough you were too late replying' letter. Well, they have written and said they are giving us just under £1000!! Chuffed is not the word! Dont think I will add that to my total for the month lol!

    Oh wow! I was just popping on here to say I won't report my finds for a while, I'll just add them to my sig as it's been a bit embarrassing this week......although it would help if I just reported once a day! I've just been a bit excited. :o I'm quite lucky perhaps to live in an affluent place but I honestly am constantly looking. I am surprised I haven't taken myself out on a lamp-post or something! I have a feeling if you were following me for a few minutes, you might know who you were following!! :D

    Purple.sarah: that is great news! You are going to be famous! Well done! :T:T

    Don't be embarrassed, I think it's brilliant and I know I'm not the only one inspired to look harder! :)

    Its dreadful isn't it Mav's? what i ended up having to do was use the sell similar option, leave the photo of the previous item in place, list the new things then change the photo - terrible faff but it was better than waiting an age for each pic to possibly load. I might even make a pic being added shortly photo.....
    Thats what I did Fairy use the sell similar option what a pain it is :mad:
    Anyway another 5 listed so 10 in all up for 10 day auction :D
    Good idea on the pic being added photo might give that ago.God knows how bad that will be adding photos on a free listing day :eek::eek:
    The good news is done loads of jobs while waiting for them to load so dishwasher emptied put away,cup of tea made and dogs dishes all washed up while waiting for 8 photos to load :rotfl:

    Mav x

    Debt free and Mortgage free thank you to all for your encouragement and advice
