  • My new total = £366.79 :D I'm very happy with that. Can't wait to see what my ebay stuff sells for on Friday & at the weekend.

    I've just received a product to test from Juicy Brains panel so once I've done the follow up survey, I'll get £3.50.

    i've just added another £3.97 from matched betting (every little helps!) what day are we up to? i kept losing count, so i've stopping bothering to count at all! i've just gone past the £400 mark which is just amazing for me... i never thought i'd amass that much extra money in a month!

    I got my specs refunded by work, I had already paid for them and hadn't realised there is a scheme to pay for eyetest and specs. So I did a belated claim and they paid!! So I'm adding 57.45 to my total, bringing it to 506.36:j
    Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

    Bails, the quidco cahsback was £50, and the £100 was from A&L itself...so £150 all in, provided A&L don't find some loophole to get out of paying my £100!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: I didn't have any SO or DD to switch from the account I used for the switching service so I'm not sure if they will count it :S
    when I was filling out the on-line app, the site came up with a warning that you had to choose the switch DDM's service to qualify for the £100. What happens if you select it but have nothing to move I guess we'll have to wait and see.
    wow MLSL!! 109 ebay items:eek: . Good luck with that. I've got a slight camera hitch with posting at the mo, but most of what I want to sell needs to wait til we're a bit further into winter anyway.

    A spin off of this challenge is I am moving any spare cash form my ca to my savings account very quickly, rather than frittering it away so my savings balance is mounting, even though it doesn't all qualify for the rules of this challenge.
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    mornin all!

    Have another £12.19 to add, but its a very sad story, lol. Sold a book on amazon for £21.50, plus had £2.75 for shipping. But amazon took their £5.06 commission (seems a lot - I didnt even bother to check the cut they take!) and shipping is costing me £7. Oh well, its still 12 squids for a book I didn't want.

    OOo and i know this isn't related to this challenge, but I'm really loving readitswapit (thanks to whoever mentioned it here!). Have swapped three books so far, and they are books I've been dying to read but haven't been able to justify buying yet...
    We got rid of the kids. The cat was allergic. ;)

    Debt at LBM (Sep 07): £13,500. Current debt: [STRIKE]£680[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£480[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£560[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£13[/STRIKE] £0 overdraft :D
    Current aims - to start building up savings
    1st £1000 in 100 days - £1178.03 :D 2nd £1053.38/£1000 :D 3rd £863.59/£1000 :o
