    Evening everyone

    Lovely to see soo many happy and optimistic posts. Well done all the money-makers :T :dance: :T

    What an amazing total Ev -and wombling certainly counts :j
    Smiley87 - I'm soo pleased to 'see' that you've managed to raise your house deposit - you must be very chuffed :D

    CBC - strange how similar we are about shoes worn to destruction and expensive perfumes. My gran always said that I had champagne tastes and beer money :rotfl:

    Poohbear - I'm sorry to hear about your 'phone and hope you soon get it fixed or manage a new one :o

    Hiya Aesop - great to 'see' you :hello: Sorry to hear you're so unhappy at your work and definitely sending some find-a-new-job vibes and hope you're luckier next time.

    Well done horsey-girl with winning another bag of feed and how kind of you to donate your hair :D

    Enjoy your week off KM and have fun on your allotment. You shouldn't feel guilty about your dream holiday as you've worked hard enough for it. Go and ensure you really live every moment - precious memories cannot be bettered.

    I agree Azzzaa that it's just as important to keep down the spends - so well done there. Enjoy your car-boot if you go and maybe you'll find something worth a fortune :D

    Well done our Olympians again over the last few days :T
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend
    Lx

    £49.12 interest from closing an account to add to my total for August.

    I also used a voucher that I received when I left my old job for some spa treatments, which would have been £47 - do I add that to the pot?

    I received £6.40 from Prolific Academic today so feeling a bit more positive about surveys.

    I didn't get any ebay listing done yesterday as my kindle fire doesn't have a camera like yours Aesop. :D
    And my DSIL came over to borrow my iron as DD was trying to iron my holiday cottage bedding and hers blew up.

    Manana :)
    business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

  • Claimed payment from Prolific once it passed the £20 mark to avoid Paypal fees. Now have £20.70 in my bank account. Full marks to Prolific for being so quick with their payments:T

    Just been shopping at Morrisons and found a trolley in the trolley bay with £1 still in the slot. Someone had bothered to return it to the bay but hadn't retrieved their coin:rotfl:. Am adding it as every little helps;)

    It's very slow going here but trying to take the positives that even the tiny amounts will still be helping!
    Just redeemed another £3 paypal from P!necone, and also, rather excited that I got accepted to shop and scan, just did the test upload which they say gives me £10 worth of points 'straight away' although how immediately that is I don't know so not counting it until I see it on my account.

    I must admit though, apart from what I have to do to scan and upload, I'm not sure how it works points wise. Is it how many times you upload your shops, or is it a flat rate of points per week / month?


    total now sits at:
    £38.37 / £155

    way off target but that's a Christmas present sitting there, One less that has to come out of the bank so I am still thrilled!

    Afternoon all, very windy here, thought as I am not a V festival, (I live 10 mins away from it) I may as well use my time productively and sell a few bits and bobs, just done a £15 sale on a Facebook group, after fees and postage it works out around £10, which takes my total for this month to £35 :)
    Documenting my journey from full time support worker to full time eBay reseller :)

    just done a huge declutter of my cluttered wardrobe. DS loves using my shredder so all old paperwork shredded.

    found my missing foreign coins so now to see how much they weigh and hopefully can send to cash for coins. found some more ink cartridges so they will go for recycling.

    and found eBay stuff to sell. must make an effort have school uniform to buy. DS was very pleased when I donated my unused sharpie pens to him. seems a lot of kids in his class use them. he enters every smiggle comp we find. he loves their shop.

    and found photo albums used and unused so will have a look through them tonight and start printing photos using the free prints app and put them in albums.

    also found 2 shirts which I must have been given and DS fits them lovely and looks really smart In them.

    now to sort it out and put things back neatly in wardrobe. more items going to charity shop too as they won't sell for me. it is my local hospice shop so I like to support them.
