    is that from the post office? I got both cashbacks with no trouble, you should be fine.
    Of to work today, hoping my other 2 buyers pay up so I can post tomorrow and see how much I've actually made.
    have a good day everyone.

    Hello everyone. I'm back from brighton again.. I think I only spent just over £5 the whole weekend so that was good. Abbey have for some reason increased the overdraft on one of my accounts by £500 (interest free) so I've moved £400 into my ISA plus another £35 from my other current account. Although this does look like I'm getting myself into more debt I'm not spending the extra overdraft money on rubbish, it just means that I'll get the car which I'm paying interest on paid off a bit sooner so I pay less interest. I guess it's kind of like switching it to a 0% card but not.

    I've been bad on ebay today, I've spent nearly £36 on two rare vinyls, though in my defence I think the last thing I actually bought for myself was my hair straighteners and that was ages ago. One normally sells for about £60 and the other one I've never even seen for sale before, but I know it is extremely rare and probably worth a lot mor etha I bought it for. I only got them so cheaply because they ended this morning, everything always gets a better prce ending in the evening. Although I do want to keep them for myself I'm considering selling them to eil.com if they will give me a decent price for them. Either way I think I'll make money in the long run, even if I do keep them as collectables and sell them in the future.

    Does anyone do racecaller on pigsback? I've been doing it for a few days and it's really fun, if you're good at it it has the potential to earn you more points than daily clicks too.

    Racecaller is a thing where you register on pigsback and get 100 points when you place your first 'bet'. Pigsback give you a certain number of points (not out of your points) to use per month, you are allowed to use the points once a day to try and guess a winner of a horse race. If you get the winner you get an extra 10 points added to your pigsback account, and if you lose, well, you don't lose anything really, you just don't win anything. So far I've got two winners, a loser with my choice running at 6.30 today. Anyway, if you search racecaller on pigsback the instructions there explain it better.

    You did well selling that dvd, some of the disney ones seem to go for a lot, though I'm not sure why. There must be a reason lol. I haven't done much slice the pie for a while now I feel like you do about it. I'll keep going until I get to £50 then withdraw, but I don't think it will be this month. I've got another paypal account the money will be going into, I'm not having it go into my business one and letting paypal steal a big chunk of it, I've suffered too much for it lol.
