Is anyone else sick of the sight of Ebay today? And Sharon flippin Osborne?!

:hello:
I'm back and ready for action! Haven't posted on here for ages as with new baby, new house and being at work I just haven't had the time to go through the bank statements to see how much I've had coming in! So, this afternoon I've calculated the following from my last post at the end of Feb:
Bank interest 15p
Insurance cancellation profit £80
Gapbuster £35
Free Bongo £34.06 + £29 + £30.83 +£10.54 + £26.08
Paypal/Ebay £70
TopCashBack £102.26
Grass Roots 20
Quidco £168.42
LVs £4.00
Pigs/Waitrose vouchers £10
Sainsbury Voucher (toluna?) £5
Total: 615.34
That makes my total £3,659.54 :j
Only another £348.46 to go - just sold a bed for £116 on Ebay which should be paying cash tomorrow, so that'll cover a third of it.
Really chuffed - who'd have thought there could be so much free money to be had?!
Well done Panda - I am sooooooo proud of my buddy. I especially like the idea of free bongo - I need to try that out esp if you make money on it :rotfl: .
Another £21.89 to add to my total as i got paid by quidco today:D
