    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 :D

    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. ;)

  • £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.
  • 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 -

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!
  • 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 once
