    Dunno what's occurring here! :confused:

    I've just won another £5 on the GfK survey thingy. Said about it being related to the Internet questionnaire again.
    Ah well... guess I'll just have to add it to my total!

    Grassroots usually take 3 -4 weeks to pay, just goes straight into ur a/c, no payslip or email.

    AHHHH just got email from one of my ebay sales & looks like shoes were wide fitting which I hadnt realised so have to refund it all...what a flipping waste of money! Genuine mistake on my part but annoying for both of us to say the least! Had one email off a buyer asking how I lost the weight but no bid on the item!! Maybe I should start getting comission for referrals! Also got another £5 from GFK but its in the form of amazon voucher...anyone know if I can sell these as they are codes to use on amazon?

    Pleased to see everyone doing well and all enthusiastic.

    Posted my green met sale and ebay sale from the weekend on Monday - £2.17 and £1.81 respectively.

    Then last night got another SDN from Amazon - seem to be on a real role atm. Posted that today so another £2.72 after postage.

    Current total is: £15.94

    Guy from work who wants videos now can't meet until next Monday so they're on hold but hopeful of that fiver still. Found a few more coins too - all in the pig :)

    Have been doing well with mystery shops too - have done my first phone mystery shops for TNS today, have 2 to do tomorrow and one next week and I'm owed for a shop one I did at the very end of June so hopefully I'll get a nice sum at the end of the month after tax it'll probably be £30 ish. This tends to help boost my total if I'm done the other weeks that month.
    Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000
    Initial Mortgage free date - January 2058
    Mortgage as of 1st February 2024 - £159,134.98
