Can I join in please?
I'll only be counting money that actually makes it into my account, so could be a bit difficult. Have listed some books on GM and will do some ebaying tomorrow though, so fingers crossed! Also think I have some funds in paypal to transfer over once £50 is in there, so hopefully will get to that point sometime this month!Total Debt: £0 [STRIKE]£33,043[/STRIKE]

I worked out today that I could possibly have £75,700 on my credit cards if I pushed them all up to their limits. Scary huh!
I negotiated a balance transfer today with MBNA at 0% until May 2009 and had the money paid into my current account so I only did 1 balance transfer but will have enough money to pay off 3 credit cards. I worked out that this has saved me £34 this month so am off to a flying start.0 -
Hey! You missed me! I made last months target too!
And I made it in 19 days no less! I actually made a bit more, but I'm not worried about that because I made my target.
anyways, this month I'm going to double it. Not because I'm feeling cocky, but I have a bit of a cheating start. I have 2 ebay auctions about to finish which will make me somewhere around £100 plus I have 6 more that will finish this time next week and they should bring in the same amount.
Plus (big woohoo!) I won last weeks bonus ball that I do locally so that's £49 for definite to start me off, plus £2 from purepoints.
I make that £51 to start (and I'll update tomorrow)The smaller the monkey the more it looks like it would kill you at the first given opportunity.

Change of plan. I'm only going to include money that I have actually received rather than add the odd survey, etc to the total as I go. I'll only get counfused when I get a cheque and have to try to work out what I'd already taken, ifswim?
