    Hi everyone - need some advice about whethere I can include something! We're going away this weekend, and the hotel is paid going to be paid for (almost entirely) with Leisure Vouchers which I collected from Pigsback and ipoints. We would probably have still gone without the vouchers so I can count the amount of vouchers I spend towards my total, even though I don't actually have the cash?

    Not really, with vouchers we could all say we would have spent it but if we don't have the actual cash - then you're no further forward. And since the challenge money for most is towards debt repayment / Christmas / something then counting invisible money sort of defeats the object doesn't it?

    Just my POV if the masses disagree then we can change it.

    I have downloaded the ebay turbolister and listed my first thing on it. It was quite straightforward. But now I can't figure out how to get it off turbolister to actually seling on ebay. :confused:

    Woohoo! :T How easy was that? :j

    I'm a Turbo Lister convert. I'll be using it all the time now. :D
    I can't wait for DD to wake up then I can go and raid her wardrobe for things she's grown out of. I think I'll put the radio on (LOUD). ;)


    Good luck with your car boot sale. If you get the chance to look around I recommend buying unusual cake-tins. They sell really well on ebay.

    Yipeee! Its started and vey nicely my first ebay payment came in this morning! YAHOOOOOOOO!! Ok so its only £4 but £4 more than I would have had! Off to post it. I've put my tiffany ring on (with mseolympic challenge code so you can see it but please dont watch it cos then I'll get excited!!). Really am gutted selling it as it represents a huge turning point in my life. The trip to NY was with my mum, I paid for it (on CC of course!!) and we had an incredible time & I dont regret it for a minute BUT that (thankfully!) lead to my lightbulb moment when we came back so was a special trip in so many ways. The ring was also a life's ambition- to buy somethin real from Tiffany in NY! Sooo much has changed since then...! Much better off; found you lot, lost weight, gave up drinking & smoing & can say for the first time in as long as I can remember, I am HAPPY! Deep down delirious I am so on that note I joyfully go to post my first item! Have a fab day all!

    Okay, on this one I'm in right at the start. I have some change to count from the last challenge that I didn't put in, because I was away for a few days, so thats £11.85 straight away. I count it when I bag it up ready to take to the bank. Exciting - this will be the challenge where I get to grips with matched betting! And mystery shopping!

  • well how lucky am I??? my vouchers from using my credit card arrived today and mum wants them so thats £15 straight away! woohoo!! good luck everyone!!!!! :j

    would love to do a car boot tomorrow but I am taking part in the race for life so unfortunately will be unable to make money for this challenge, but instead will be doing something to make money for others!!! wish me luck!
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!
