    Didn't get the job so that's the long term better income plans on hold for a little bit longer :rolleyes:

    Another £9 on Bingo last night - lets see if I can do another one this evening and add to the total before the end of the day. Got a bit excited when I logged into Quidco today as it was showing £90-odd for this month, however it's tracked for an Insurance company which I clicked through for a quote, didn't actually take it up though so I don't think I'll get that somehow! Still no sign of my Clubcard vouchers, but I always seem to get them later than everyone else I know! :confused:

    Final February total to be announced in about 6 hours time... :D

    Hi Bimbo, welcome aboard - there's some good tips for 'free' money in the "Make £10 a day" challenge - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=710611

    Most of mine is surveys, cashback sites, selling a few bits on eBay, and recently the free Bingo promotions that have been going about.

    There's a guide to abbreviations here as well - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=672601

    OK, not quite six hours later, but I can't face any more bingo and I don't think I'm going to make any more money tonight!

    So.. this month I've made the following extra cash and vouchers...

    Ebay 9.70
    Spice.co.uk 1.50
    Greenmetropolis 3.00
    Quidco 7.02
    Lightspeed 3.00
    Consumer Pulse (vouchers) 10.00
    MediaTransfer (vouchers) 16.00
    American Consumer Panels 2.00
    ToLuna (vouchers) 5.00
    Royal Mail Survey 12.12
    My Search Funds 5.20
    Bingo 121.43
    Other 5.00
    Making a grand total of...... £200.97! :D

    Just put a few bits onto eBay which will hopefully help towards next month's total. I did say I was doing this over ten months to aim towards a nice round figure - so 9 months and £1450 to go....!!

    Oh I do love Bingo... the 'free' sites are still letting me join up so far, so I've added another £32 to my total tonight. Still got a few fiddly little amounts to withdraw but that one came out straight away! :D

    So, a good start to the month, also selling a few vouchers etc on eBay - don't expect to make loads from them but they've got a couple of bids.

    WTG! :rotfl:
