My day was awesome, just finished the night with a Nando's Extra Hot whole chicken. Good food!

To whoever was asking about Amazon, they have a set postage rate which you will be paid over and above the cost of what you are selling. And I think they take a set amount from you for each sale plus a percentage?
The info you need should be here http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=13841771
As for me...I got a Pinecone £4 payment today, plus a cheque for £30.01 from Global Test Market (woohoo!).
Yesterday I did a telephone Mystery shop for £5 which won't be that much by the time I take the cost of the call off, but it's something I wouldn't have done if not for this challenge, so feeling good about that...won't count it until it arrives though, so for now I'm adding another £34.01 to my total.
