Well done Sarah
I've got a few things to add:
my whole £2.72 I've collected on Htmail finally arrived in my paypal (they seem to have emptied everyone's accounts). As it's taken several years to get this don't think I'll bother with them anymore.
£1.99 refund from Woolworths, bought an icecream scoop in there 4 years ago and OH laughed that it had a 5 year guarentee and that it would never last that long and tucked the receipt and label away in our instructions folder. On Thursday night it broke, snapped! so took it back on Saturday and got refund no problem. OH said we should use it towards a new scoop - I said if we hadn't kept the receipt etc we'd have no scoop and no £1.99 so it went in the Olympic Challenge Piggy
Then £13.20 Mystery Shopping from TNS today - still deciding whether to carry this on with the self employed stuff or not so could be my last.
4 things on ebay last Thursday all things that came from my old stuff from my parents 2 with bidders so far, just need the weather to be good enough for a car boot now!

£2.14 more from an ebay sale from a couple of weeks ago - thought it was going to be a NPB then after reminder buyer got in contact then eventually sent postal order, crossed so had to go to bank - however over 2 weeks after auction finished got my £2.14 profit :rolleyes:
Going to get together some bits to list on Thursday tonight and work on descriptions tomorrow whilst Aprentice watching
Have a Pinecone survey to do but work internet has a problem atm and can't risk it going down half way through so rather than doing it at lunch I've saved it for tonight too so a bit more money then.
Total now stands at: £247.03 - almost a quarter of the way to reaching my target.
Have joined the £10 a month challenge for May - think that'll help encourage me to keep going with this and all money with go to my Olympic Challenge Fund.
