Just found this and would like to join in. Couple of questions though.
1) Do you count money when you receive it, or when you earn it? EG I have MS to do after work tonight - do I count it today or when I get paid?
2) If I make more than £10 one day can I roll it over to the next day?
3) Can I count any income over what my main job pays me?
This is probably the motivation I need to sort out my books on Amazon, and my box of stuff to go on ebay!ilovefreegle.org - give it away don't throw it away

I am doing pretty rubbish at making money, I have saved some on multiby items when shopping (I was buying them anyway) does this count?? I have done a few surveys but won't be getting the money just yet so I'm not counting it until it comes in. Also put a few bits and bobs on ebay so hoping to raise a few quid for those.
Fingers crossed...legs, arms...:P0 -

Everyone has their own way of working it - I personally only count things that are in my account (with quidco, survey money etc) or with amazon/ebay sales after I've despatched the item - so I can work out the profit and I know the money's on it's way.
2) If I make more than £10 one day can I roll it over to the next day?
Yes - it's £310 a month or whatever but - £10 is a good target to aim for.
3) Can I count any income over what my main job pays me?
Yes - anything other than your basic salary from your main job.

Right count me in. I'll aim for £5 a day for the rest of this month, so £90 before the end of the month.ilovefreegle.org - give it away don't throw it away

Another £23 for 3 mystery shopping jobs, which brings my total so far to £258.43. I started working for AQA as well a few weeks ago so I should be able to hit the £310!Mortgage Free as of 03/07/2017 :beer:0

Another 17.75 from ebay added to my totalCC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0
