    Evening everyone looks like we have all been hitting Ebay today taking full advantage of the cheap listing.

    Daisydoll - well done on the MB profits. I keep reading the threads but its still not 100% sunk in yet so not getting involved yet.

    doodledo-It took me about 10 read's of the guide before I took the plunge and put my first bet on! And I was so sure I'd messed it up the first time but I hadn't and now I've got the hang of it thanks to some good free caclulators on here!

    A fairly unproductive week for extras so far (doesn't help that I'd forgotton it's MIL's birthday so needed to use some of my extra spare cash on her pressie)....

    So here goes...

    Ebay - £31.26 (another 26 items listed and won't transfer the money from paypal until their all done and dusted)

    Quidco - £4.54 (£17 odd pending)

    Min payment - £35

    So £39.54 off for now - plus ebay money when I transfer it.

    £1660 - £39.54 = £1620.46

    :rolleyes:
