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.

That's a great haul of stuff that can either be used or make some cash. And 'good on yer' for donating to the hospice shop. I like to support ours but they are a bit choosy what they sell. I often worry my stuff might be more welcome at charity shops that are less well supported and are glad of anything they can get. Well worth the effort involved getting it all sorted. And I know how much effort it can be sometimes when there's such a lot of stuff to go through.

I love finding things I'd totally forgotten I had:j but then the problems start about what to do with them. I'm forever vowing not to hoard things that might come in handy some day. If only I could stick to that resolution every time I come across something really nice.

Sounds like it was a good day for DS too. Had fun with shredder and gained nice pens and shirts. Lucky lad:T

flat rate 1100 point weekly and then they send surveys for extra points

Thank you, just found the bit in the handbook that explains it. Not the biggest earner in the world but I'll keep at it for a bit!

Cashed out the £10 voucher for signing up (chose WHSmith as we get the kids an annual each from there for Xmas so that's one of those paid for. )

Total now stands at:

£48.37 / £155

I've just had my first ever cashback from contactless woohoo!

Does anyone use a spreadsheet to keep track of where and how much they money make? I've just done a list and it's got 15 things on it and I'm sure I've missed some. (I had missed one) Thats 16 places that I have or should be cashing out at in 2016.

it's easy money which is why soany of us do it. I think you can earn a £10 voucher every 3 months. plus you can get invited to join other panels.

what a great idea putting it for Xmas.

I use an online excel spreadsheet to track all my outgoing so / wages and there's a tab for my apps and loyalty cards. I don't track the earnings from each app once I've cashed out (so I only have the current balances, once cashed out it goes to PayPal or gift card or savings balances, also listed on my spreadsheet) not sure if I can add a picture on here?

I've been really enjoying the Olympics coverage on TV and will be sorry when it's all over tonight but it will be nice to get more sleep;). I might even find the time to list some more books on Amazon.

I only buy about 6 Lottery tickets a year:o but a lot of the GB medal winners have thanked the National Lottery for all the money they've given to support their sports. Full of enthusiasm for Team GB I bought one Lucky Dip(one of the last big spenders, me:rotfl:) for last night's draw and won £25:j. Absolutely gobsmacked and already have the cash in my purse after OH cashed it in for me this morning.

Adding £23 (deducted the £2 I spent on it).Takes my total for the month to £285.07. Might reach my target after all;)

Have a good week, everyone:beer:

This mornings car boot done - rained first thing so nearly didn't go, and think that's what everyone else thought too. Very sloow day. total to add - 32.60 - better than nothing, but used to taking 100's not 10's on a Sunday morning.
Plus side - it was all cheap stuff, so Tonnes more room in the car on the way back!
