Also, if anyone's interested, I'm trying to set up the Great Big Budget 2016 challenge - for setting spending targets over multiple categories and trying to get outgoings under control (as many or few categories as you need/want)

Managed to motivate myself enough to put something else on eBay, very cheap but we'll see if it sells at all. Also earned a few pence on Qmee but won't count it until I cashout at the end of the month.

Keep forgetting my Prolific login details as I used a brand new password for it, now had to email it to myself at work so I can check it during my lunch break. Once again screened out of stuff on Onepoll and nothing available on Quidco.

Still the month is still young and there's still plenty to do!

Made a total of, wait for it, £194.20 profit:eek: after all postal costs and fees which is now all in my Paypal account. A few things sold for the starting price of £1 but a few others did better than I'd ever dreamed they would:T. None of it was anything special though, I'm amazed what people will buy:rotfl:

Well done that is an awesome result, I only have my usual 20 free listings this month which I have used 5 so will make sure I list another 15 tomorrow though I don't have the energy today x

OK - this one's not worth much but as every penny counts... If you have a Boots Advantage Card, log into your account and check what offers are available. I just found an offer for 50 free points (worth 50p) when I next make a purchase (of any amount) in store. You have to load the offer to your card through the website, and the offers are personalised so other people might not have the same offer. It's worth checking though.

Just typed in boots into google to check my advantage card overs and got 10p of qmee clicks - Thanks x

I asked if it would be best for me to leave the parcels with her to deal with when she had the time and I'd call back to pay later (she knows where I live, there's no danger of me absconding:rotfl:) but she was a bit of a jobsworth and insisted on knowing what was inside every parcel and needed me there in person:eek:.

Uh how annoying, when I had my ebay shop the post office guy where I lived in Swansea used to just take the bag off me and I would go back in the evening and pay. I used to go there everyday so he was happy to do it, it was even his idea. Next time write what's in each one on the back and then she won't have an excuse lol x

I have £21 to add from eBay sales after fees etc and am waiting for another £2ish after fees. I also emailed Matalan to complain about 2 pairs of shoes I had bought recently and both broke within 6 weeks but I didn't have the receipts and I never take anything back anyway (I have another pair sat on the dining table waiting to be returned that have been there for weeks). They sent me £42 of vouchers to use in store. I don't know whether I will keep them or sell them so I won't add it yet, either way it will be going on baby clothes as my little man suddenly doesn't fit in anything.

So I am up to £183.32 so far, I have relisted the bits that didn't sell on ebay and have 15 free listings left so will try and get them done tomorrow x

And thank you for posting... you prompted me to log into my Boots account again where I found a £1 off mens shower gell (which I need!). Sadly no QMee for me though - I think I got a QMee hit for Boots the other day.

I was beginning to wonder where you'd got to, Lynne, as your encouraging posts help to keep us all cheerful and motivated:A.

Thanks CBC - but I think lots of others on here do as well, including you

Thanks for the tip, I was eligible

I have also received a £40 gift card from a relative and £0.11 interest from an account so i'm adding that to my total!

Brings me to £64.45!

And that puts you just over target - well done :T
