  • Have added a few craft items to FB selling site and will be sorting out my craft room during the month to sell stamps and dies, wool and scrapbooking items. Every little bit will add up but it may take a while lol!

    Well done threepenny_bit! You are right, the little bits do add up, plus it's a great excuse for a clear out. Good luck with the FB listings :)

    Well I've started August well with a little £2.24 from TopCashback, not loads but better than nowt! That's gone straight off my big C/C, whose 0% expires soonest.
    I've also filed two small Medicash claims and got some pending cash on Prolific, so building up my August pipeline. OH also gave me a shirt yesterday that no longer fits, so I will use it to start a cash for clothes bag. Got an old football shirt that I need to resell too, they always hold their value :smile:

    £2.24/£155, only £152.76 to go.. haha

    Hope everyone has started August well!
    Good start!! I hadn't thought of those cash for clothes - does it work out okay versus ebaying or whatever? I guess it depends what the clothes are.

    Hey!

    I'm off to a good start!

    I've done my weekly food shopping for OH and I with an M&S voucher courtesy of Topcashback! £42 no less! (I managed to hold out 2 extra days so only actually got 5 days of food with it, but that's all good M&S!)

    Plus, two mystery shops today worth £21.50

    £63.50/£310 thank you!  :)

    I like that I've managed to average £31.25 per day so far! :D And, here's really winning at life: I got 2 fillet streaks in my shopping because I only needed 5 days of food!  :p

    Same! I can't bring myself to part with most of it, but I know I will have to!

    There are some great figures and it’s only the 2nd 😊

    I had a win on the Premium Bonds so I’m off to a great start there with £100 and £15.59 withdrawn from Prolific.

    I will officially count Swagbucks when I add the gift certificates
