I used to do it how you're doing it when I first started this challenge (though I can't even remember how long ago that was  ) but started losing track, and just taking forever to keep track of that I realised it was more hassle then it's worth, so just add things when I actually have the money.
So for example I wouldn't add £1 or £2 from Consumer Pulse when I entered the products, but would just add the £10 when I get the voucher.
Sooooo much easier (especially with sites where you have to work out the monetary equivalent of vouchers, which can vary as different values of vouchers work out different values in point etc etc!
This is how most of us do it, so whilst it's totally up to you what you want to do yourself, the way the majority do it is much much easier and quicker.  (Even if it does feel a bit heartening for the first few weeks until things are up to redemption level!

Morning all 
Another extra job done Thursday but been to busy to update so £30 to add and it takes me over my target so really happy with that 
Will keep going and see what I can do.
Well done to everyone some great money making ideas and great to see the amounts coming in for everyone.
Up early as have to go do the dreaded Christmas shopping    For presents all budgeted for of course  So wish me luck I would really prefer to be a work than in the city shopping.I have my very small list of items that I cant seem to find online so here I go

Hi Sampsun
It is a great motivation  , i never realised how much i make from sites until i started aiming for £100 a month, now it really motivates me when the survey invites come in and i have already ordered two vouchers this month
If you need any help, ideas, referrals then just ask, the guys on here are great x

Thanks for the replies regarding how you all keep track
I think i'll carry on doing it how i am for December, then in January i'll make a fresh start and do it once i receive the money/voucher as doing it the way i am for more than a couple of months will get incredibly confusing.
Thanks guys

sorry to hear about your loss SanFran
It is sad letting go of something sentimental but you know that the next person will enjoy it and a lot of love went into making it, so that will be shared. xx
it depends what policy you took out

haha sorry I had kind of misunderstood - I too only count things when I 'cash out' as the add 10phere and there on onepoll for example would drive me mad...
however I do add them when I cash out as long as I know i'll receive it so paypal I would consider to be 'safe'...
I have a shiny (well actually rather scruffy) £5 to add from the sale of some earrings... and found 5p when tidying some little pots in the kitchen...
total up to £100.95
Hugs to all of you, and xxxx San Fran. xxxx

I still have no money
Doing awfully this month, which is typical as it's the month we seem to need the most!
Doing a few Ebay listings, just 3 and 5 days ones mainly to try and get rid of a few more bits before Christmas, but I don't think people are wanting to spend too much money on non Christmas things at the moment so not holding out much hope really

Morning
Ebay free listings was a complete waste of time for me, the internet here has been playing up lately, so i have hardly had chance to get online all weekend. I did manage to get my relists done
£43 carboot cash to add and a whopping £5 road kill
Hope everyone is well, and welcome to the late joiners

Monkeynut - I'm feeling the same with regards to ebay, not selling anything I have listed at the moment.. think everyone is just looking to spend their money on Christmas items. Trying to think of where else I can make money this month..

The £17.67 refund from BT has landed in the bank, so adding that, even though technically it's something I paid them in the first place - we haven't even been with BT for almost a year, and I'm doing awfully this month, so seeing as that's what made me finally sort it out, I'm adding it anyway 
And £3 vouchers through from Pinecone.
