    Hi NW-Angel,

    If you take a look at the 'Up your Income' board there's plenty of ideas there including mystery shopping. You could also consider selling your belongings on eBay, your books and CDs on Amazon and Play.com and Greenmetropolis.com

    Use the cashback sites for your regular purchases - Quidco is a very popular one. You might also want to do daily clicks - there's a thread on here somewhere!

    If you fancy, you could set up your own business..walking dogs, ironing etc.
    Perhaps you could look at your outgoings and reduce those and put the extra into the fund? The list is endless.

    Enjoy!

    Hi all, sorry I haven't updated on here for a while, I've been having problems with my laptop and was resigned to either a big repair bill or a brand new laptop :o:o ...however, fingers crossed I think I may have sorted it myself :j

    Anyway, just over a week till my challenge kicks off, still no more mystery shops bagged for me, but I will try and get some this week ;) Welcome to everyone who wants to join us on this, good luck everyone :beer:

    A focus group is where you sit and discuss certain brands of items like mobile phones, washing powder, anything really and the feedback goes back to the company who is the client (mobile phone provider, skin care co etc. It gives them ideas of what improvements they can make, new products etc.

    I have to do some 'homework' beforehand which looks a bit strange! Will let you know how get on. Nothing wrong with being a dippy blonde, I am definitely one!
