  • Have taken the first step in a long road tonight. Managed to open two bank accounts for DS2 and DS3 to put their / my E-Bay money in as suggested here last week.

    Thanks for the idea! :T

    Morning all !! Interest on all the varius moneypots was paid out today (£9.20), so of course has been swiped into the mortgage pot ;)

    Todays plans involve trips to the post office to post various ebay parcels and a trip back to tesco to see if they have found the rest of my order :rolleyes: Other than that it will be housework and ironing mainly, and I'm just hoping the weather improves so we can go out somewhere later :D

    I have sold items for £3.75 and 99p on ebay today and I have 3 more items finishing tonight although none have bids yet :rolleyes:

    We have been down the beach again today and ds got sunburnt on his face :eek: It was nice down there but it didn't feel that hot, but it was fairly blowy so I guess thats how it happened. Tomorrow I need to post the ebay items and I have a mystery shop to do too.

    I venture back on the tesco direct sale and managed to order 2 x cream single duvet sets and 2 x finest white towel bales all for a total of £7.49 :rotfl: :rotfl: (original price was about £60) :eek: It will be a perfect houes-moving pressie for mum and dad as they've decided to get single beds when they move as dad gets up loads in the night and wakes her up :D

    Heh benben,

    i notice you often get really good deals at tesco direct...is it much cheaper shopping on line with them, i don't see those kind of deals in the shop itself??

    I tend to only buy from tesco online when someone posts a good deal on the grabbit board on here ;):D You do tend to have to get it straight away when you see it as they go out of stock very quickly as I think quite a few people bulk buy to sell it on again. My local tesco isnt very big so I dont tend to spot many bargain in there, and I try to avoid going there too often as I will just spend money on stuff I don't need :o

    If anyone is interested in having a punt on the Grand National this weekend, have a look at the Grabbit board ... Martin has listed an offer from Betfair. Basically you deposit £25 and bet it all on the race, and then they credit you with £25 which you can withdraw, so its basically a free £25 bet :beer: and even better, you can earn £30 for registering through quidco :D:D:D

    I did it 5 minutes ago and mine has tracked already and is due to payout in June :j
