    I will be taking a month off from the challenge in August. I am on holiday for a few weeks so will no doubt be spending money rather than saving.

    I will continue to eBay when I come back from holiday though.

    I must say I am amazed that I have managed to get my total for each of the three months I have been doing this challenge.
    When you say - " An extra £300 a month" it sounds un-reachable however, I haven't really struggled to get to the target each month.

    There is still much more I can do each month - I am not much of a daily clicker yet, I have had no luck on bingo at all as yet and I still have a pile of stuff to eBay. I have a head full of ideas of things I can make and sell on eBay too. Whoever thought of this challenge is a very clever person and obviously a shrewd moneysaving expert!

    I wish I actually had the cash in hand each month though - I don't know where it goes!

    Pay day today and I *think* they've overpaid me, I'll have to phone tomorrow to check, but I haven't got the backpay I'm due either :confused: so I'm only adding the £53 that I definitely know is for my overtime :D

    Another sale on amazon for £2.69 profit and one of the items listed last night has a bid.

    Good times.

    I have been paid £37.50 for my mystery shops this month. I also got a £5 voucher from valued opinions. Altogether I think I'm up to £424.78 so far, although I feel like I have missed something.

    I have a scheduled payment of £28 from Quidco, another mystery shop payment, and I can claim from TCB but I'm waiting for another payment that is due in tomorrow before I cashout. I will only add those when they are actually claimed/arrived.

    Oh and virtual hugs for JesaRose, I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

    No money coming in from me today, and the post to get 3 amazon things in the post cost £6.66 which can't be a good thing can it?

    So, I'm determined to make sure that I can get at least half a dozen more things listed on amazon and ebay this evening.

    Also, about to undertake a taste challenge. Tesco's version of angel delight is 7p off at the moment, but Tesco basic (or whatever it is called) is actually just 7p. So I've got one of each and I'm going to see whether we can tell the difference.

    Right, time to stop being a mardy little c0w, means its its nearly the end of the month...! :o
    Had lots of bits over the month,but not included any of them as I normally do :confused:
    How lazy is that. :o

    Expenses received back today- £16.20
    Ebay money received today- £5.81
    Mystery shops received yesterday- £10
    Holiday money received not taken at previous employment- £28.75

    £60.76 total

    I know obviously due to my blatant laziness, that I am no way going to gegt anywhere near my total this month. Next month I start my new job on the 18th (:D), and will be bringing home exactly double to what I have been. I have been a very good girl and added up my child care costs for each month from pay day to pay day until next march :eek:. The most it is going to cost in one financial month is £156, which I am chuffed to bits with :D as on first looking I thought it was going to be like £300+.
    After child care I will still have £400 extra income. :D:D:D :j

    I am planning to do a car boot over bank holiday weekend- maybe 2 if I'm feeling brave... :rotfl: will be adding this to my total. Making some firm plans for my August challenge. Intend on frapping it! :rotfl::D

    And the results are in...

    The 7p stuff tastes just as nice, but doesn't get nearly as thick as the the 37p stuff, or as fast. There's only 39g instead of 48g in the 7p stuff so maybe it needs less milk than it claims.
