    Thanks for that kimbob - I'm wondering whether it can be adapted to be more in line with today's meaning of "turning your money over" ?

    Say by using some of this month's income to buy something of a decent value, to re-sell with 28 days, before the next new moon :)
    I always just turn my purse over so the moon 'sees' both sides of your coins.


    Don't think it's meant to be updated as it works fine :rotfl:

    I have to open ANOTHER claim with RM after I posted an item yesterday and buyer contacted me today to say it's broken.

    Since it's damaged though I have to get them to send the item in along with the reference number for my claim. I've told them I won't refund until they've done that since without sending the item in I can't get compensated for it :mad:[/QUOT

    Good Morning!
    Thanks for the reply lexbubbles :)
    It sounds really good, I'm gonna drag them all out at the weekend and have a go. They're mostly 50's & 60's stuff (beatles, Elvis, rolling stones, country etc) no idea if they'll sell but I told my Nan I'd give it a try and plus I get to keep a few quid if they do :)

    Also, I did the 'downshift' thingy on the weekly shop earlier and saved £26...does that count?

    I think that if you have saved those £26 and are counting them as "money made" from this challenge, then it counts? If it just means other groceries will be bought with it, then not for me? But I'm new and that's just how I decided to do it for myself - that way any money made is really there to be put towards something.

    On that note, £5 from SB and £3 from P!ne to add to my total, bringing me up to £51.22!

    Happy Thursday all! :j

    We only count savings if you can physically put the money aside, ie put in savings, pay off debt etc. We don't count virtual savings, does that make sense?


    I have been downshifting ever since I had Ds and mkney was tight, long before Martin made it fashionable. I now find heinz beans too sweet and much prefer own brand. Shows how much sugar is in heinz.

    I always used to buy branded products before DS because that's what my family did. Itnever occurred to me to look at own brand and check the taste.

    I am niow teaching DS to check the price of things he buys rather than just grabbing the first one he sees.

    He has decided that be wants to be a millionaire when he grows up :rotfl::rotfl:
  • What beans would you recommend Aesop? Just done a quick shop at lidl and picked up my usual heinz but can see there is lots to be saved with their own brand but not sure which are best.

    £5 SB to add for me and now for some serious bounts points. Just signed up for the premium+ as my two weeks introductory offer ended. Paid with money made on line of course. ;)

    Was tempted to go for the three year offer which brings it down to a tenner a year but for one I didnt have enough funds and two, I'm always a little sceptical with companies like this. If I do well for the year and bounts is doing well I will go for the three year deal next year.

    Have a good day everyone! :D:D
