    Wow well done!!

    I am counting this weeks total as £0 as I have no funds actually cleared in my bank account yet. :)
    I would prefer to only count money when I know for a fact I have it, makes it easier for me :)
    Sad I know! lol

    However hopefully by next Sundays count I should have almost £100 - fingers crossed! That will be a good start anyway :)

    Aww well done Welshdragon - You're a very determined woman I can tell!

    I hope your head clears soon. I haven't had a migraine for 20 years but I can still remember what they're like. *shudders*

    And DawnyLou... I'm still at £0 as well but I hope the fruits of my labours will begin to show soon! (I hate waiting for stuff to clear!)

    Love Jacks xxx

    Hi all, first time posting on this post as internet has been a bit wobbly for the last week or so but seems to be back to full power.

    Change jar to bank £15.00
    Pigsback £1.85

  • I've listed some items on ebay this afternoon and I've started doing some clicks (thanks Jess and eagerlearner). Also tried to find out exactly how much I owe on credit cards. Think the totals are upto date now, but I know I paid for my house insurance on one and I've not seen it on any statements yet. :confused:

    These are only small things but i feel like they are steps in the right direction. :j

    i found out how to use the smilies - yay :j :j
  • Update I have now made £20 profit through Quidco by signing up to Gala Bingo, and £5 for computeach enquiry. New total now £71.90! x

    Earnt another £30.23 via quidsco this weekend, validated only at this stage but still on schedule for payment before December. Need to get some more clear money bags so i can pay piggy bank savings in, otherwise the bigger coins get raided for a quick pop to the shop.
