    Debt-free and Proud!
    Thanks CBC

    Maybe experience has just made me a tiny bit cynical :rotfl:

    Like Aesop, I hope that the problem is a genuine fault, because I can mend that.

    I'll let you know, but I've bought a number of defective items at Car Boots after beaing assured they "Work fine" and have always been surprised at the "type" of the people telling such lies.

    I have to agree - i have had people stealing stuff from me at car boot sales and was quite shocked at the 'type' of people they were....

    Have also bought things that "work perfectly" only to find they don't. Mind you one time i stood in front of a sellers table saying in a very loud voice "do you want me to stand here all day telling everyone who comes over that you sell dodgy goods and then refuse to refund them" when i took something back :rotfl::rotfl: guess who got a refund ;)

    Look out for my stall then, fairyclicks and Procrastinater;). I guarantee 100% that I'd never dream of trying to rip anyone off:j
  • Thank you for the updated lotteries Aesop, will have a look at them.

    Quick question - I bought Aunt Bessie's Yorkshires today, as COS have them free. I won't count the cashback until I get it from them, however I also got 50p brand match for them, so I got paid 50p to buy them! If I transfer the money can I count that? I also used coupon to get free cheese today but won't count it as I would have bought it if it hadn't been free, but a nice extra for lunch boxes this week!!

    £4 supermarket voucher. Said supermarket must have known I moved to a cheaper rival (their loyalty card gives them so much information) so have given me £4 off a £20 shop for ten weeks in a row now!

    Job #3 messed me about a bit this week - told me on Monday (after I chased them up on Sunday) they didn't need me last night. Then yesterday morning after getting up at 5am to leave at 5:45 for main job to get the bus (cheaper than driving) I got a text at 10AM asking me to work at 6. I agreed and managed to get a lift through and a lift home after which was good though) Was naughty and bought a coffee and had tea out though so I'm deducting that. Got home at ten thanks to the lift but was very tired by then.

    £20 wages - £10 for coffee and snack.

    £14 in total so far :)

    £18.90 Topcashback :)
    £8.00 payment for a MS job :)

    Brings my total to £37.99 for the month so far.

    Annoyingly one of my ebay bidders hasn't paid :mad: Why do people do that? :mad: I'll resist it at the weekend, but grrr to non payers!
  • £5.40 to add for tips received yesterday.

    Persevering with bounts. Will get 20 points as done 14000 steps and a visit to the gym gives me another 10 points.

    Downloaded mapmyfitness and did what I thought was a twenty minute quick walk but I was a couple of minutes off when I checked and had forgottet to sync it with bounts so still dont know if it will count as an activity. :rotfl: Will try again tomorrow.
    Make £10 a Day Feb .....£75.... March... £65......April...£90.....May £20.....June £35.......July £60

    Just a Textbroker article for me today, adding £3.70 to my total, keeping myself just ahead of my daily cumulative total. I also received a £5 voucher for the Royal Mail correctly delivered survey, not counting this though as earnt last month.

    I had that and I messaged her even though I had opened a case. And she had forgotten she had bid and won. She paid up and left me good feedback,
