  • Another £5 voucher yesterday, getting there! My biggest Bingo win (£39) has now cleared back to my card. Usually at this time of the month I've got about a tenner to last me a week, this month I've got about £50 cash and £35 of vouchers to hand. I think the vouchers might get spent this weekend (on relatively sensible stuff like toiletries and house stuff), but trying to be as cautious as I can be with the cash. Hoping to make a £100 payment to my credit card this month instead of the usual £50, which will be nice :j

    Done the A&L savings account on Quidco today - £20 cashback (won't see that for a couple of months though) and somewhere with a good interest rate to put all this extra money.. hopefully!

    Ooh I might have a look at that then. Still need to get contents insurance sorted out, and I'll need travel insurance for a couple of trips this year so will be spending many hours on Quidco I think!

    Got a few bits to put on eBay and then ummmmm... think I'll have to have a look at mystery shopping, and may look further into the idea about the t-shirt site I mentioned in an earlier post. Brain needs further racking though...! *goes off to the 'Up Your Income' board in search of inspiration...*

    WOOHOO!! Just checked my email and there was a survey invitation from MediaTransfer, been on there for ages and never seem to get much but I've finally reached the level to claim a voucher :j £16 to spend on lovely Amazon on its way and I've gone over my target! WOOHOO!!!

    ps Pania, I didn't know you could eBay Tesco vouchers? Don't they have to be used with the card they were issued for? :confused:

    All been a bit quiet on the money raising front the last few days! Got the stuff through from A&L for savings account, need to send some form of ID off to them before they'll open it.

    Amazon voucher from MediaTransfer arrived in my inbox last night - already had a few quid left on there from an old voucher so had a very nice £20 to spend on books, which felt very self-indulgent! Got three novels and an A-Z of my local area to stop me getting lost when I go out walking :rotfl:

    didn't buy one of mine though. :-(

    Only kidding, fab about the voucher!!!!!

    You can ebay tesco coupons, basically whoever wins them e-mails you the deal that they want, youy obtain it and post off to them, therefore circumnavigating the need to use vouchers urself.... IYSWIM?
