Good evening everyone.

Its been a great day today. I received £40 worth of Tesco vouchers in the post this morning for signing up for car insurance. Plus I sold an item on Ebay today, paid for already giving me £26.07 profit. I love a challenge, can't wait to start listing some more stuff on Ebay, off to take some pictures.

Evening all,

I won £39.67 on Mecca bingo last night which i signed up for cashback and £5 from Gala Bingo Saturday which both hit my account today so i am off to a good start, no idea how long it will last though!

Hi everyone

I'm not off the mark yet but am expecting some mystery shopping money to hit my account before the end of the month and will be Ebaying some stuff over the next few days.

Going to hit the survey sites tonight too.

Good luck everyone

evening all,
well i have £50 marked as recieved in quidco so when that is paid and reaches my bank i will add it to signature. i have sold 2 items on e bay and sent second chance offers to 2 people i am not counting ebay money until it reaches the bank so if it goes into paypal noe till i reach payout!
i have done some comps and a few bits on cashback websites so that should raise some cash!!

hello, can i join in too please?

i don't know if i'll make it to £1,000, but i will certainly try!
sold some stuff on ebay this morning, made £31.31 profit after postage
hoping that topcashback and greasypalm will pay out soon so i can add those in!! and doing a car boot in 2 weeks time.

better get some more stuff on ebay!!

i did, however, receive £295 back from alliance and leicester last week, so i would be very happy with another £705!!!

Yo yo yo!!! Well I am still motivated on day 1 - but I still have a total of £0!

I sent off for some survey money etc at the weekend so that should hopefully get me started, Iam going to try and do what I have before and put it all in a separate account, other wise it just gets spent! With vouchers I will keep them for treats but if funds allow pay that money into my account so I have a rising total... this may be a little hopeful

Tis good to hear there are people live and challenging off the mark already - but a manageable amount of pages at the mo! (although I am filling it up with useless drivel )

Well good luck all and may the challenging be with you

Completelylost, I think it was you that asked about Lloyds, they do take your change, just bag it up first.

^Thanks for replying. I know Abbey and a couple of other banks are funny about it y'see. I have bagged them all up into bags of 1ps and 2ps separately and will pay them in later in the week! Might need a trolley to push them though, as they're soooo heavy.

So far so bad for me, only made 90p from surveys today. Though I listed five ebay auctions yesterday & two have bids on already so I am still hopeful. I also have 6 BIN listings, waiting to be bought!

Hi, nykmedia, I couldn't seem to message you so I am having to ask within the thread, sorry. But I was wondering what the £2 coins:£112 was referring to in your signature? Very curious!
Thanks.

It's the £2 coins savings addiction. I first found out about it here. Now I am totally hooked and cannot bring myself to spend one. Instead, I take them to the bank so they can stay safe.

Bails, so sorry I missed out your name! Like you said, it's the excitement of having you here on this challenge :rotfl: I THINK I have all the names now.

I have a bid in on the first of my eBid items and have now listed a couple more. Spent most of the night cleaning up my old laptop and playing about with that to check everything was working OK then listed it, too. I can't decide whether it's worth trying to advertise my old desktop computer or if I should just Freecycle it. What does anyone else do with old computers?

Looking forward to getting to grips with the free clicks and will be startuing that just as soon as I can. Also, our quarterly electricity bill is due in a couple of weeks and I have a budget for it based on last year's bill but have been extra vigilant regarding power consumption this year. If it's under my budget amount then I'll have the difference to add to my target! Fingers crossed on that one! Off to update post one again, catch you all tomorrow.
