    Thank you. I have just got home from work to a letter from Santander saying they are paying £70 into my account because of a complaint I made. I'm still confused as I don't recall ever given them the details for this account, but at least I now know where the money has come from and that it is mine.

    Another £41 to declare for me. Sold some craft bits on facebook for £20 and instead of buying present for hubbys birthday let him have a weekend watching rugby on tv as thats what he wanted. Also didnt buy cake as already had one in the house and just stuck candles in that :)

    He was well happy as he hates spending money on useless bits :)

    Finally a further £1 from resisting cake eaffle ticket at sons school on friday :)

  • I am finding I'm paying more attention now to the loose change lying about the house - obviously every penny really does count! 27p found this week.

    Also I had a really good voucher bonus this week. I had my clubcard vouchers and the usual book of Subway vouchers. I saved almost £25 at Tesco and had a BOGOF sub with daughter - I wouldn't count the sub vouchers as a saving, as I don't usually pay to eat out, but deducting what I did spend at Subway from my Tesco saving, I came £20.75 better off.

    So my total for this week (and current overall total) is: £21.02.

    I have also been working on building up my accounts at Clickworker, Swagbucks and Slicethepie, signed up for RewardTV (but points there work on an auction basis, so I doubt I will get much there) and reactivated my Vivatic. I will only update when I cash those in though - there is little point adding every little 5p increase on the balances.
  • Not updated for bit - done some sums this morning


    Used some Tesco vouchers on regular shop
    Interest from Savings
    Bonus from Work
    Money from Nielson and Swagbucks added
    Sold some items on ebay.


    Up to £235.98 now, so feeling much happier about the world now I have seen it in black and white

    £5 from swagbucks boosts my total to £325.06,

    Have transferred 2 bank accounts and am waiting for incentives to be paid, which should total an additional £300.

    £34 towards my total to declare today made from a further sale of crating bits on facebook and £2 saved from my kids not being well enough for youth club. I feel sad that they are poorly but it is a further £2 towards my total :)

    I'm back again this year. Last year I came nowhere near the 2014 target but I was pleased with getting £1016.61 equating to 50.47%. I aim to at least beat this figure this year.

    So far it's been a reasonable but unspectacular start.

    1. £25 compensation from BT due to a major issue with my account.

    2. £10 from a reward's web site.

    3. £2.40 cash from a separate website.

    4. £20 profit from buying and selling a lot.

    5. £5 reward from my Halifax account.

    Total = £62.40/2015 = 3%
  • Well done on the Facebook sales. I gave up trying to sell there, as there seems to never be anyone actually wanting to buy - plus if you can't sit watching the page all day to bump your items they never get seen by anyone!

    I am building up my totals quite nicely on Swagbucks, Clickworker and a few others. Another pile of loose change to add to my total after clearing out an old bag and after completing a survey on Global Test Market I was asked to test some dishwashing products, so once they arrive and I see how much I get I will deduct what I save from not having to buy them.

    I have also set up a shop on Coriandr to see if I can sell some of my handmade earrings - I'll see how that pans out though.

    I also signed up for Neobux, but I seem to be doing something wrong there - I click on the ads, then the red dots which I assume are to verify a real person is clicking and wait for the new window with the Neobux logo but the system still says I have no clicks. I have disabled adblock as it seemed logical there would be a clash, but still it doesn't register I have clicked the ads. Plus most of the ads seem to be for other paid-to-click services anyway so it seems more of a trick to make us sign up for more - giving up on that one, anyway!
