    Good bit of money that though she makes from it.

    Before I passed my driving test I thought to myself yeh I'll do sumat like that when I've passed, so want to go for it now I can use the car :rolleyes:
    I'll make a start next week do some adding and see if I can afford to place an ad :o
    Would be happy with £30 a week from it to split between Cmas and Hol :D

    no more updates for my Cmas stash at the mo- still trying to get my holiday spends saved up at the minute but as soon as that's sorted I'll be right on with Cmas.

    Well, the weather forecast is not good for the weekend, so me thinks the car boot will be put on hold for at least a week :mad:
    On the plus side, my mum got me a couple of lotto scratch offs a few weeks ago and I won £2 on one and £1 on the other and they've been in my hand bag for ages, and this morning I took them in the newsagents and got my pennies- £3 :D (How excited can one person be over £3?!) So I'm putting that in my little stash, as well as another few weeks of saving club money I'll be paying in tomorrow when I go to work. Every bit helps (am i plugging for asda? or is it tesco...? :p)

    I'll update my sig anyhow with my little new totals

    Hi everyone.
    I'm a bit fed up today with the whole money thing... sick of being so skint :cry:

    Trying to be positive, my holiday savings stash is building up slowly but surely and I know when I've got that sorted I can really get my teeth into this challenge. In the mean time I keep coming on for a look and keeping up with all your progress :o

    Considering we've only had two months this year, you're doing ok. Plus you've got that holiday to look forward to!

    I received a £10 voucher for Verbaudet last week for my 'loyalty' lol, I think I've ordered from it 3 or 4 times ever:rotfl:
    anyhow I've ordered a set of 3 pretty little suitcases for my neice for £10 (so FREE), still have to pay postage but a bargain I thought.

    I'm getting heartily bored of surveys but am forcing myself. Just keep thinking of FREE xmas:rolleyes:.
    Points I've checked are
    IPSOS 8051
    Nectar 1651
    ipoints 504
    pigsback 729
    lightspeed 259
    Synovate 370
    Global Test Market 274

    Off to pigsback to do clickthroughs and comps then I'm off to bed :p

    :hello:

    hi everyone, I've finally got something to add to my stash! I've sold my underskirt for my wedding dress for £10. I will get the money on Thursday but I'll add it to my total now :D

    Got a cheque from GlobalTestMarket for £24.92 (over a pound more than last time) so need to pay that in. Plus I'm more than half way towards redeeming again from there...even though I've barely done a survey for them!

    JayneC - I've seen those suitcases - very cute!

    Noggin - that stash will soon add up!

    can someone please explain the whole pigsback thing?? ive had it explained to me before but due to my very limited intelligence i didnt quite grasp the situation.

    right, if i shop online for my tescos this week i get 500 points, when i get to 1000 points can i order an arcadia voucher and they post it like toluna??

    sorry if this sounds thick
