SEPTEMBER make £10 a day challenge

System

£93.15 winging it's way from Paypal/Ebay, but don't count it till it arrives. Waiting for ms shops to pay and have some mb money to withdraw. Slow start to sept....Wondering if anyone has done the cd magpie thing and received the money? I want to try it but not sure if it is 100% legit?
Thanks

Book sold on Amazon for a piddling amount. Will update after posting it. Will only be a few pennies methinks.

I'm definitely in a slow down - everything I try and list on Amazon only seems to be worth 1p. I think I need to be ruthless and list everything I own but I'm a hoarder. I'm also going to check out ebay later.
However, yesterday I gave some one a lift to a work conference, so I get an extra £2.75 in expenses just for having a passenger, so I'm going to count that, as I would have driven anyway. And it's helped the environment - bonus!

Not posted for ages so on catch up......

£10.00 from Boots vouchers - Mother in law asked me to get something for a fiver from Boots and said I could keep vouchers!
£5 given to me by OH, £20 "pocket money" from MIL (very happy to receive but feel like a kid!)
£4.35 towards Xmas Turkey in cash pot.
Should be getting Boots voucher from Pigsback (hurray got there at last) but not received it yet.
On another point - I work for a Market Research company recruiting people to take part in focus groups - mentioned earlier in this thread and we always have a problem recruiting. Why don't people register? Is it because they (you?) don't know where. There are hundreds and hundreds of recruiters across the UK but if they don't have your details they can't contact you. Payments are from £30 vouchers up to £120 depending what your life experience has been. Sorry to rant but I hear so much on this board about cons and those companies that are trying to do it by the book are finding it difficult to recruit!

For me it's because I feel a little intimidated and that my opinions, etc aren't as good as other peoples or that I'll sound stupid. That in itself is silly, I know but that's me! I don't think I'm going to be ripped off though. I hope that makes sense.

Quick catch up - can add £74.60 from a refund that finally came through - was so long ago that I had given up on it so counting it here - has gone straight off the BC.
But am still running behind.... hoping things will pick up a bit!

I would love to go to a focus group too but I don't really know where to sign up and don't want to feel too intimidated when I turn up! If you have any pointers or know of any companies which work around nottingham or manchester please pm me!

on another note, all of my overtime which I did (18hours!!) has been eaten up by extra tax and NI and my days off this week and next (i only want to count the extra from overtime take the amount I'm loosing out on by having the 2 days off if you get what I mean? - but when I did this all the overtime doesnt make up for it because of the tax etc.)
I should get the tax back if I make a claim for it in april but for now its so annoying and its making me fail very very miserably with this challenge

I made £1 on a Lightspeed survey today. Going shopping later today so might get some savings but will definately be spending! Still have £50 worth of leisure vouchers from Pigsback though so I might use that to pay for lunch while we're out
