    Just caught up with reading, looks like everyone is doing really well considering it's such a sluggish cold month! All those pennies really do add up!

    Last week I managed:
    £10 off £50 spend for online Slainsburys shop, so did the weeks grocery shop and saved a tenner.
    0.75p Amazon voucher cleared from TCB
    £4.80 worth of free travel as twice last week the bus driver punched my saver ticket but the hole didn't appear! So that was two free journeys to work and I don't have to buy a new ticket till next week now!

    I really need to buckle down and get some surveys done, I have loads of them in my in-box just slowly going out of date :cool: I need to give myself a shove! Also I'm sure there's some reclaiming-y things I could and should be doing but.. motivation is hard when it's a choice between sitting snuggled up in warm armchair with a cuppa and a good book, or hunting around chilly rooms for paperwork and stuff...

    I will aim to do better next week!!:p

    Massively behind schedule this month!

    Couple more bits to declare though. I've moved on from pizza coupons onto nakd bar coupons! Used 3 so far - coupon scans at 75p but they're on offer for 50p in Mr t at the moment so an extra 25p off other items. Also wobbled at 37p off next shop receipt.

    Did make £27.66 through TCB but will only count that once it's paid out. Also have another £67.67 confirmed in there which I'm hoping will be payable soon!

    So I'm currently only on £10.79 - need to get cracking!
    Debt as at 5 June 2023 - £15,600.89
    Current debt - £5,935.00
    Total paid off - £9,665.89 (61% paid off)

    You sound just like me, D-B:o.

    I'm not tracking down paperwork at the minute (although it's surprising what I unearth when looking for something else.) but I need to dig out all my remaining books from wherever I've stashed them safely away and forgotten where:o. I need to get them listed on Amazon asap, they aren't bringing in any money stuck in boxes and drawers. Sold quite a lot this last few days (not updated on here yet), lots of people like you and me are snuggled up reading in this horrible weather.

    Take care:coffee:

    Couple of things to add:

    97p ebay sale
    17p Asda thing
    When I was in town last Weds DD2 texted me saying 'I need a copy of An Inspector Calls ASAP' As they do. Amazingly I found one in a charity shop for 70p - I know lots of schools do this play. A new one would have cost me £7.99 according to Waterstones website so I'm going to put the £7.29 saved in here as it was a piece of luck.

    New total is £18.79.

    Joined Crowdology but they keep promising me money then screening me out!
    August Shopping Challenge. 26/8. Budget £250 Spent £256.81.. £6.81 over. So £0.00 a day left.

    Some brilliant amounts posted, well done everyone:T.

    A quick update from me. Some amounts still pending/floating around in cyberspace but this is what I've actually received in the past week:
    • £41.10 from books sold on Amazon (profit after fees etc). (Quite a lot of low-value books this time)
    • £4 Pinecone
    • £10.70 PanelBase
    • 50p roadkill
    Total to add: £55.85

    Have enough to redeem £3 at MySurvey but as this is one of the few survey companies that sends me lots of surveys and doesn't often screen me out (unlike most others:mad:) I'll leave it with them and try to notch up some more first.

    Have a good week, everyone. Good luck.
  • I've not posted much this month but I'm busy working away on my total.

    Does anyone know how I can find out if vouchers for Marks and Spencer's are still valued, I found some when I was looking through a bag that I've not used for a while. I can't find an expiry date on them or a receipt

    I love it when a Charity Shop find is THAT specific - makes me believe there is a "god of charity shops" to call upon lol

    10 items ending on ebay today - come on people, buy my crap!


    LOL my sentiments exactly ! I've got some stuff finishing today too. Fingers crossed!
