    Absolutely - the cheek of taking their name of the watching lists! :eek:

    KM has a really good idea about the flask, hypno. I bought a flask at Asda a few weeks ago - its one third of a litre, only costs £1.96, and I've used it twice, so its already paid for itself (this is my cup of tea when I get the train home from London). :money: :money: :money:

    Who was it up the thread who called lattes poncey? Got to agree :rotfl: I like Americano with coffeemaker.

    :wave: I've been lurking for a while on your diary to try and vicariously gain more energy through you :p but not had anything to say! However, the coffee thing definitely resonates - defo try a flask! I had the same problem whereby I would have to get a cup of coffee from the vending machine every afternoon at the 4pm energy dip... and since the chocolate machine was just next to it I'd get a bar of chocolate too... seems you and I have similar weaknesses :o Anyway, this was neither very healthy nor very moneysaving, so I've started bringing a flask to the library when I go to work there. I've got quite a nice one which I nicked off my parents and it keeps the water warm for ages; I can still have a nice hot coffee using it late in the afternoon. Means you can have as much coffee as you want without feeling guilty :D and just tell everyone that your coffee machine at home makes the best coffee so you've decided to bring in your own!

    Well,, have been a good bob, and listed loads this afternoon. I have sold one already, but will be looking at other sources, as suggeste by ISOM, and of course the car boot.x

    Right, that's better - have had some food!!

    No more sales on amazon/ebay, but a couple of items have 2 watchers, and one has 4, so I am hoping for a few sales over the next few days.

    Just waiting for a matched bet to settle for a profit of about £35 and will also get a refer-a-friend bonus of £12.50 in a few days or so, plus went through quidco for another £12 and also noticed that £20 has been received finally for my Alliance & Leicester savings account I opened so.......not bad!!!

    I still have two enquiries outstanding totalling £230, though.......it would be lovely if they could get resolved.

    I did not think I had done canbet, but when I signed up, it seemed to think I was already a customer, so I must have done them at some point in the past :mad:

    Matched bet settled, so.......my mini challenge updates so far are as follows:

    Matched betting/games etc £500 aim................current total £54.34.

    Ebay/Amazon/Car boots - aim £1000..................current total £53.63 (this includes last week's car boot, so is cheating a little)

    Quidco - aim £200.............................current total £20.12 received

    Mystery shopping and surveys - aim £100............current total £0

    A reasonable start has been made!!!!! I have some more matched betting I can do at the weekend, which will hopefully get me another £35 or so within the next week or so, and a mystery shop lined up for Saturday.
