    Jenjade, hopefully things will pick up in time, I have a great start and things seem to be fizzling a bit. :confused: Five listings have met reserve online but nothing for major amounts.

    There are piles of books everywhere :o too which is a bit annoying. Don't want to put them away in case they sell lol.

    Hi everyone

    Another £5 mystery shopping money has gone into my account and I have been paid today with an extra £80 tax payment thingy on top :j .

    Means that I am on target now. Also sold a freebie on Ebay for £10.50 but will wait until I have withdrawn some Paypal money until I count that.

    Jenjade, you're doing brilliantly so don't worry! I'm not doing half as well as you but figure that every little bit is more than I would've had :D
    Well done JB, brilliant amount, what did you pay for them originallly?
    Trex, another thing I'm interested in is the proof reading but am I right in thinking I'd have to have a qualification first? I can't help spotting mistakes in anything I read which is really annoying, but if I was getting paid for it...;)
    My attempt to earn some extra money for today is my job interview. Fingers crossed they can give me something as that'll be £20 a week (not to mention a whole lot of this :j).

    Hi everyone..
    My 'hard cash' figure hasn't changed but I've got £13 odd received in Quidco and I've earnt £2.17 from avon.
    My daughter and I are going to be avon partners...she was doing it herself but she kept spending her profits and more. I figure if we do it together I can keep an eye on her ( and her spending) and make some money myself..
    I still haven't worked out DH's wage overpayment. No other expenses have come in yet either...I get really twitchy when I'm expecting money to hit my account! Anyway, I'm either horribly underpaid for expenses or amazingly over!

    Good afternoon :)

    Nobody needs to despair of not earning enough extra or not doing enough to raise an extra £10 per day because we aren't trying to raise £10 per day, we have an entire 92 days left in which to try to amass a total of £1000 extra that can be used to clear a debt, pay off a credit card, reduce a loan/mortgage or, for those of us on the £4000 for a year challenge, save up so we have a quarter of our annual bdget up front for the start of 2009. I am not convinced that I can do this either but I'm going to give it my best shot, regardless :D

    Good luck Bails! :)
