I say only include the savings if you actually save the cash, ie you can physically take it and put it into savings, pay bills/debt/holidays etc. otherwise it is virtual savings really. which should be applauded but I don't count it unless you can physically count it.

Yeah I just saw someone else count their free trial amazon and was like "huh, I haven't been doing that"

but then I'm Amazon Student which is a whole, like, £35 a year once I start paying anyway.

I count gift cards, survey earnings, cashback, money from sales, and unexpected actual money from other people but that's it.

Just exchanged the last of my e-on rewards points (700) for a £7 high street voucher.

£374.03 / 447.44 (15.58 / day)

£73.41 to go!

I only count savings if by saving I have £x in the bank to spend on something else. I'd count my multi-buy savings at supermarket rather than I saved 6p cos that thing was reduced etc. Just cos that's an almighty faff and the multibuy is done for you.

I count savings for things like I was going to buy that anyway and it's got £30 off so I can divert that £30 into my savings... but only if it's a significant amount. Some people say "I downloaded a book for free that would have cost me a fiver" I don't add those either I often download free books but that's just cos they ARE free!

Not updated for a while but doing well. . £71.00 from eBay. £20 for a market research study (and another one this week for another 20). Have a student in at the moment so £130 so far from her and I won £10 in a competition I didn't even realise I was in. .

£253.00.

I am so close to a pay out on a survey site but the credit hasn't been processed yet so not counting it until it is. Feeling pleased with the progress.

Well, I managed to list 7 things last night to take advantage of eBay's FVF offer and have a few more potential items to work on today. I've done them as BIN (with best offer option) for the full 30 days so am hoping for success eventually.

I'm not wasting time on £1 items this time round, I managed to dig out some more expensive stuff that I've been wavering about selling for months:o. Part of me wants to hang onto them but I never use them/have never used them at all in months, even years:o, but the sensible me wants to get rid. It's not as if they are antiques that will increase in value with age;).

Had a reply already from an idiot who asked if I'd sell one item (on at £35) for £17:eek:. He said several had sold around that price recently but when I checked they were all 'used' whereas mine is brand new and boxed (which the listing makes clear). I'd accept £30 but that's definitely it;).

Is the voucher transferable Procrastinator?

If so, sell it for a slightly reduced rate on Zeek app or fleabay. I even sell the farm foods vouchers that come through our door on the free advertising leaflets. People who don't get them, but shop there can make a good saving if they are willing to pay you even half of what the vouchers cost. Just be very clear and open about what you are selling.

You may get less than it's worth, but if you dont shop there, then its not worth anything to you anyway. Cash in hand, however...

No Surfchick - sadly it isn't, but maybe I do come across some from time to time, which ARE - so thanks for the tip ! :beer:
