    Used to be a Virgin Vie consultant until Christmas and I had so much stuff left over that I have been to sell it off to the other consultants at their monthly meeting tonight and have come back £66 better off! Have added that to my total! Now got to put all the other bits and bobs on ebay before the end of the month.

    I finally got on Skybet but had been aiming at 6pm when it would have been not so busy. But its not very inspiring - 362 people trying to win £1 for a one liner, £3 for two lines or £6 for the jackpot! Its not a pretty site and the stuff is all a bit small to read - I just don't feel motivated!

    I spoke too soon, it got really slow then froze up on me. And I know what you mean, it's not the most inspiring at all!

    Well i didn't do much today.

    I've not been counting piggy stuff cos it's vouchers and not real hard cash :)

    found another old lotto account so i closed it down and claimed the 50p back - again.

    saw an old scratch card on the pavement on the way back from nursery so got DS1 (who is lotto obsessed) to pick it up incase it was a winner......it wasn't :(

    I'm still trying to win peanuts on Skybet but at the same time I'm listing some books on a book selling site - typing in ISBNs and stuff, then coming back to start up the next Bigno game - am not following the numbers, so at least I feel the time isn't being totally wasted and at least I'm trying to make money thru book sales and bingo at the same time (and watching tv as well - fascinating one on hynotherapy just finished on BBC2...)

    Edit - just seen I've typed BIGNO instead of BINGO - was going to change it but then thought on Skybet it is one big NO win!

    I'm back from a few days away, and I've made about £3 on AQA tonight, and sold an Ebay item to make another £7 since I've been away. So I'm still ahead of where I should be, but I'm aiming to keep pushing on. The more I can earn the better to keep the CC balances coming down asap!!
  • Just to let anyone who's applied for sunbingo through quidco that I chased up with them that it hadn't been tracked and now it has been tracked!! Woohoo :j

    Got £115 being tracked on there at the moment so I think May will be a good month as that's when it's all due to pay out. :D

    Ok, I've just been paid and randomly have been paid for the two shifts at my second job that I'm not doing this month! :) That plus 100 quid from First Direct for setting up a new account with them means that I've completed this months challange!!! I'm well pleased as I didn't think I'd make it this month. Next month will be trickier, so I'm already saving up ebay items....

    When I've chased things with Quidco their first reaction is to say they are putting it 'on ice' for two weeks to see if anything happens - I find this infuriatingly slow -did they make you wait 2 weeks or did they respond more quickly?
