I listed 6 items on ebay last night - one sold within an hour on Buy It Now for £12. Split the profit with mum though as it was for some of those free £5 vouchers Boots are doing at the moment. We picked up a couple ourselves and a few had been discarded in the shop so I uploaded them all and sold straight away!
£15.55 for me today and one Lightspeed survey in my inbox ready to be doneNot been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/1550 -
29th August and my target of £561 is going to be tight. After an good start, my income has slumped to just an extra £60 since the 19th.
Currently at £480.95 with another £29 profit in bets to come in over the next couple of days, plus a £20 freebie I plan to match off tomorrow for at least £16. So that's £35 I extra to find - fingers crossed for Jennings to run their horses promotion again - normally a nice £15.
On another note, Pinecone accepted my application, so that should help for future challenge.Competition wins: Where's Wally Goody Bag, Club badge branded football, Nivea for Men Goody Bag0 -
dbg have you done the reviews on trusted places for the £10 amazon voucher? the apparently pay the same day altho some are taking longer. ehh slice the pie altho there would be a loss of hearing risk.
bootsale? think i might do the one this weekend weather permitting. and i'm out of ideas.
Will have to look into that trusted places, thanks! Hmm, my brother hogs the laptop at weekends (for some reason stp only works on it and not on my pc, think I have about 24p in that account :rotfl: there's some absolute garbage on there!)
Supposed to be misty again in the morning and a little breezy, last time I did a carboot up here we made barely anything, don't know if I could face it! Good luck if you do!
My sister has gone off to college so I went to start tidying the mess she's left behind (going to turn her room into my office while she's away) and found £1.94 in changehoping for more tomorrow! I'm also going to add the £2.27 left from pap/moozies challenge instead of rolling it on like I was going to do - I know this is money I already had but by doing it this way I'm not spending it like I'd intended, so that's another £2.27.
£1.19 to go - STP is actually seeming appealing now :rotfl:The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

£10 valued opinions today and another £4 pc!:j I'm still way behind on my targets but hey - theres a few days left lol0

Well another £35 today dog training but think that will be it for the month. Am still waiting for my canb*t bonus :mad: - over a week since the qualifier and in spite of confirmation. Will ring them tomorrow.
Anyway - a little short of the £20 a day but well over my original £10 a day target so very happy! On to September.0 -
Well hopefully between me and OH will be able to add another £20 to our total due to Bview reviews. I'll update my sig once that's confirmed.
I've signed up to Pinecone, slice the pie and TrustedPlaces. I'm now on a whole 440 lightspeed points and my ipoints are slowly increasing. I've added a pound or two at cash back sites.... Had kids at home this week so altho off work not made as much progress. Also been sorting the house out. We were hoping to get a lodger this week/Monday but at the moment it looks like a washout. We've been setting up the room just in case tho!
We've photographed my desk ready for listing today - but not got around to actually listing it yet. Still we've been planning to do that for a month so it is good to finally make some progress.
:j Had a very MSE week with the kids tho. Normally I do an activity every day if we are off with them which all adds up. This week we went to see a friend who lived near a beach instead and also went to a National Trust property as well (membership cancelled from end of Sept sadly). Total spend other than petrol £8! We have snuck in a chinese takeaway at £13 and OH and DS went to cinema £16 approx! All in all though probably a third of what I would normally spend and within what I budgeted on SOA so huge improvement! Have got 9 presents completed of the 25 to buy between now and Jan so chuffed with that too, as I got lots of bargains in the sale. The most important presents DD and DS are complete:j
Good luck to everyone else - and MizMir please add me for the same again in September - hopefully I will get a bit closer to my target!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Managed to make my target today, with some luck at the bookies - one paying out at higher odds than expected as it was a guaranteed price race, giving me £25 profit rather than £5, another having a fantastic promotion worth around £38 profit for about 15 minutes work. A free bet was worth another £17ish. Another one £8ish. £5 freebie earned at a fifth bookie, but not placed yet - should be another £4 there, and a couple of bets lined up for tomorrow for a couple of quid and towards earning a biggie. Last but not least - another racecaller win today - 17 for the month
Total daily profit: £89.37.Competition wins: Where's Wally Goody Bag, Club badge branded football, Nivea for Men Goody Bag0 -
