Hiya NYK
I did it through free fivers, it has tracked but has not been confirmed yet. How long does confirmation usually take - I'm new to cashback sites!0 -
Sounds like a brilliant idea. How are you all doing this? I guess it's not by getting a 2nd regular job? I'd love to do it but it sounds impossible.
Think different people are doing different things. Some people are counting money they have managed to not spend/ or save up as coins in a jar, which I don't do, extreme budgeting being part of my normal life lol.
Some are doing a variety of clicks, bingo etc, which if you read the thread from the beginning you should get plenty of ideas about.
And a lot of selling online as well, thats where I have got almost all my money so far.
I think while it sounds hard at first, I didn't realise people paid so much for stuff I just had lying around cluttering up my house that I didn't even want but couldnt bear to throw away...(HOARDER ALERT LOL)
If you follow along now as a trainee, next year in the new challenge you will have a much better idea what is going on, or join the make $10 a day challenge in November as practise...Cheers."Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without!!"Nov NSD: ?/30 Nov Make 10 Day ?/300Get Rid Of Debt: ?/2000 !! :mad:0 -

:rotfl: do you wear a crash helmet!
I know what you mean tho, I had been doing the spare cash in pots, but recently haven't had any spare cash!
I have a second job but that is for my olympic challenge,
this challenge is all e bay quidco and Amazon.

Love this challenge - I have to raise £2.5k for a holiday that I decided to suddenly book so I am running the 10-a-day eBay/ebid challenge which actually covers any kind of listing. There are no financial targets but of course every penny helps towards the debt.
Will be keeping an eye on this thread for other ideas though!
Good luck,

Morning
First of all WELL DONE BAILS:j Imagine making an extra £1K in a month, it shows that anything is possible!!!
£73 extra for me yesterday. £3 from lightspeed landed in my account, and it was the last day in my current job so I got a £70 voucher for a local gift shop from my colleagues :T Will hopefully get something for myself out of it but it'll be good for buying christmas presents aswell.
This weekend I'll be doing free scratchcards and daily clicks, and listing some odds and ends on ebay.
Have a good weekend everyone!!0 -

Hi guys, I cannot summon up the motivation to list on *bay!
I don't know why but I just detest listing, I would rather run an ad elsewhere and give the stuff away - I know it's not frugal, but it's the honest truth.
No interest in my tumble dryer, old desktop PC or laser printer and I thought I had them priced really competitively. Pity there wasn't a 'nearly free' cycle with as much clout! :rotfl: Looks like I'll need to try a drastic drop in price again. Just as well it's paying 30p per ad on G*mtree at the moment. I've clocked up more that £5 already.
Thanks for the info, TRex, I checked and it was Free£5s, but my £20 hasn't tracked yet and that site is notorious for being slow. They are, however, reliable when it comes to paying out, so I'll allow for their slowness. :rolleyes: I've emailed them to ask how long it takes to track.I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.
