    Finally managing to earn/save some cash :j £4 from Pinecone, £13 of copper bagged up and exchanged at bank. Also due £40 of Amazon vouchers from Bview :j :j I'll add in the £17 for now seeing as I've received it, and the £40 when I've actually received the code for the vouchers. That leaves another £100 to be made before the end of the month in order to achieve my target - but have got stuff listed on Amazon and Ebay - fingers crossed.

    Hi TC :hello: - most of the big supermarkets accept them e.g. Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons etc, without a problem. I've also used them in Boots

    I've got a little behind on this thread due to working, but I have still been money-making! Since my last post, 1 hour extra work, money-off vouchers amounting to £3, CBK redemption at £5.65 another £20 birthday money and found money amounting to a whole 27p!

    I did a mystery shop on Thursday, but I'm not sure if the money for that will come in this month's pay or next, I will see pretty soon I hope, I haven't counted the rest of the money from that, it's due next week :-)
    A little annoyed that after doing a mystery shop which involved signing up for membership to a large organisation whose name I am not supposed to mention, they have processed my direct debit and taken the money (£62!!). Fortunately I noticed and managed to transfer money around before it made me overdrawn...:undecided

    I have another job due on Monday - anyone done any jobs for Bare mystery shopping?

    Ah well...total so far £363.28, so I'm just a little behind where I should be - having not counted the tattoo! I have several payments due imminently, so I'm pretty pleased to be doing so well, having challenged myself to £20!
    April £10 a day challenge £321.85/£300 May £10 a day challenge £136.93/£310 July £20 a day challenge £530.57/£620

    Another fiver eBay'ed and just used a two quid coupon off my shopping
  • Not much to add since my last post - the grand sum of £2.10 in expenses!!

    I've requested £45.00 in vouchers (£30 from Valued op!n!ons and £15 from Texaco), but won't add to my total until I get them.
    Everyones doing really well though - some great totals :j .

    I'm off work for the next 6 weeks so hoping to devote some time to the challenge.

    Have a good weekend all
