I plan to just transfer the money across and then back out again to meet the T&Cs Warwick. Areminder in your phone/diary once a month is worth £150 to me
hehe I was planning to do this too - and then close the account once I receive the £150. Have to say I feel a little bit sneaky by doing this :cool:We got rid of the kids. The cat was allergic.

well, i have been to the post office with 2 giant bags full of wonderful ebay parcels (still waiting for payment for 2 and have some more ending today - inc some boring stuff that doesnt look like it will sell
) and i have deducted the cost of things that went unsold, I now have a profit of £40.70 to add to my total fund
and a little less clutter...

£7.13 from ebay - FINALLY some things sold!!! :beer:
Got some stuff from my mum today to sell on ebay for her - I keep 10% of the profits. Got the day off work so will list this afternoon.0 -
hey this is a fab idea - have only just signed up so I know I'm a week behind but I'll be doing my best to hit the target anyway. I've been doing lots of car boots and ebay selling recently and also saving all my change - £240 so far, but I'll try and make the full £1000 on top of that - will be such a help for xmas this year!
I do have a free market research meal with TNS this week which will pay £23 [and we never spend that so always have some cash left], plus another one next week paying the same and a MR visit to tesco paying £16 -0 -

TNS are a really good company and well worth signing up to. Also I have a nappy trial this week with another market research company where they sent me a weeks worth of nappies free and then I have to go to 2 ten minute interviews in cardiff and they pay me £70!
I'm off to find some other money making schemes - cheers for the challenge - it's exciting!0 -
OMG. I've finally taken some photos of stuff I want to ebay (must find fainting smily:D ). Been accepted by a&l but I think I may have messed up quidco (don't ask - too painful:o ) so just focussing on the £100.I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once0

okay, so I've only made £30 so far - I need to get on with this! lolBe who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
