    Read some people had been paid from Quidco so thought I'd check (only recently started using it) and have been paid £75.25 (after fees) won't add it until its actually in bank account as this is my first payment and not sure how long it takes.

    Well some more of my lego auctions have now sold. My 2 batches of Lego have cost me around £110, and they all sold for a combined total of £262, so I've made £152 profit so far. Ive still got another £110's worth of new lego sets to put up, but I feel I may make another trip to the lego store, some of there large sets are down from £50 to £15, so its worth getting them to make some money on ebay, and besides Lego is expensive anyways so Im helping some people save money because even though I'm making a profit, they are still getting sets at a fraction of the normal price!!

    Off to update signature now!

  • Got £4.30 interest from my bills 'savings' account today, so I'll have that.... also got £7 odd paypal money to come out stull, plus a cheque for £6ish for a book, I'll add those in when they clear. Still got some things on eBay, plus still got things to list, so it's coming on.

    £431.71 so far..... can I change to SILVER please, I need a proper challenge to focus my attention!

    Thanks

    woo hoo!!!! just won £100 from premium bonds.

    However, just been in touch with local council as I had been told I would be entitled to reduction in council tax as I am on JSA, however they say no, anyone know otherwise?

    I think it's up to your local council JSA wise. You could ask over on the Benefits board.

    Got about £200 over the last two weeks :) Much better than my £5 start :rotfl:
