Summer Holidays Challenge !!

benbenandme

Welcome Gemmzie I am starting on friday 18th as thats when we break up, but you can start whenever you like I am doing some prep stuff over the next two weeks though, reading up on matched betting, hopefully booking some mystery shopping and digging out some stuff for ebay / car boot sales

Sounds good to me

The footy starts again early August so there's time to read up and have a few dry runs before it starts. Need any help, gimme a shout!

I have started now if thats ok. I'm Scottish so the school holidays have already started but I live in England so I will do until the end of holidays here. Means I am cheekily nabbing an extra couple of weeks!

I should have 87 from quidco hit my account on Monday and I did a mystery shop yesterday, have one today and one on Monday which will total 27 so I'm doing ok! :cool:

Barely done any mystery shopping for months despite living in London. They always seem to appear during the day and by the time I get home, they are long gone. When I upgrade in August, I'm getting a blackberry so I might be able to grab loads more!

Hello

Sounds like a fabulous challenge! Good luck everyone!

Good luck Bebandme, I'm starting a similar challenge. But I have 75 days to earn nmy £1000- perhaps I'm aiming too low? But I would be thoroughly disheartened if I failed, so I've aimed at what I think I can really achieve.

The support on this site is amazing too.:D

Seeing as saturday night tv is rubbish and I put clean sheets on the bed today and it smells yummy , I've got into bed and am logging onto all the survey sites that I belong to and checking all my details / profiles are up to date, to try and maximise my chances of getting surveys from them

Good luck with your challenge. Sounds like a great idea. I originally read it as you were trying to keep to a £1000 budget for the 6 weeks! Can you imagine that - I think my budget to keep the children entertained is £10 a week. Maybe I should join your challenge to make a bit more money!!!!

I think I'm up for this - I'm pretty much a sahm so off anyway - I just do a bit of self employed work now and then and mystery shopping. Would love to sell clothes and stuff on ebay but can't get my camera to work cos I'm a dunce. But I've already booked in some ms-ing so maybe I'll do a spreadsheet. I think I'll aim for £20 per day which is £840 - that would be great!

Good luck everyone!

ps mudbath - have you been collecting walkers brit trip points? I'm hoping to entertain my three by taking them to various national trust properties over the summer for free... (ok, ok it's not Alton Towers, but it's better than staying in all day!!!)
