    5p found at train station. Stopped at A$da to pick up some essentials with my son. Spied a coin on the floor but couldn't get to it because a guy was checking out at the station. Slowed down the checking out. Told my son there was a coin......my boy loves this game! Waited until the guy left and then swooped....it was £1! Score! 4 receipts brought home (3 wombled) and one has churned out a voucher for £1.02 - have a couple of hours to wait to check the other 3. Pretty darn chuffed!

    Thanks again for the hugs you lovely lot.

    I've booked 2 ms assignments for a few days' time and just watched a load of videos for adpoints.

    I will be at an airport at the crack of dawn later this week so I will be scouring for roadkill -- perhaps Duty Free could be worth a go :)

    Airports are awesome for roadkill! I will expect to hear of some pennies found! :)

    Right, mission accepted. :) it's a very early morning.
    I'm going to try and get my car parking through Top Cashback. From memory it's not much.
    Have got £4.02 to add from nectar points and a money off (brand match) voucher.

    Big hugs to Mrs C. Hope you enjoy the cruise - how wonderful even better coz it's free!!! Thanks for the advice on MS Mrs C I have enrolled for Marketforce. I have see a free assignments, I debated about whether I could manage to an MS assignment near to me but logged back on today and have missed out. Think I need to be quicker off the mark!

    Used 35 pence off voucher in Asda today and found 1 pence on the floor in my house DH is always doing that! Going in my money box for the next bag up to the bank!

    Made £10.82 from eBay sales this weekend and got £4.50 from a cashback site.:rotfl:

    Hi everyone, I've added 65p :)

    Sold a greetings card for 45p and got 20p on Qmee.

    My plans for upping my total this month or kicking off next month are:

    Heading to Cash 4 Clothes with some old children's clothes -- won't be much.

    Possibly add a pair of H&M jeans to eBay -- if I can wash a grass stain off. I have 12 items on at the moment, ending on Sunday, all at 99p, no bids so far and about 4 watchers split between them -- underwhelming but I thought they may as well be on just in case.

    Keep checking for new MS opportunities.£4 due 25th.


    Dig out unused Xmas cards (I have old Phoenix cards stock) could sell plus seek out anything else Xmas related can go on eBay or Facebook

    Get my act together to put kids' bikes, portable radiators, car seat, old golf clubs and ladies' bike on Facebook -- must be a few quid there!

    Step up my efforts to find saleable books (got 2 accepted so far, need another £10+ more)

    Am expecting £100 cashback and £50 payment for a sale this month, plus fingers crossed for £50 owed.
    (sold a vintage camera to a friend who said she'd pay after pay day)
    Hoping may get first P1necone survey

    Interest and cashback from Santander on 24th of month

    Start to help my mum declutter on eBay and am paying myself 5 per cent.

    I have one book left written by me that I have been flogging for charity!

    Last but not least I need to chill out, it's my daughters' birthday tomorrow and this is their 2nd birthday since we lost their dad, to say I am besides myself that he's not here is an understatement.

    Heading on a free three-day Mediterranean cruise on Thursday, blimmin 'eck if that doesn't help me chill, I don't know what will.

    Thanks for all the inspiration xx thought my list may possibly useful.

    Mrs C where do you sell your books. I have tried eBay and Green Metropolis but they just aren't shifting! I went into my local market today and I can get up to 50 pence credit towards buying another book. What do people think of this?

    £1.28 from apps trailer.
    £5.72 worth nectar points from a combination of adpoints, e- rewards and nectar canvas.

    Spent all evening completing surveys. It seems to be taking ages to add up enough for a cash out!
