    Just £2.00 downloaded from bingo today but also joined a book club and gained 5 xmas pressies for £9.95 - this would have cost approx £72.00 but not sure I would have bought all at full price so just adding a further £9.95 to my balance.
    1 debt in 100 days £48.43/£374 - over 10% paid!

    happy new month everyone!

    I have done two mystery shops at lunchtime, bringing me in £22, but I won't count them until they are paid. I have a lot of extra work coming in this month, but most of it won't reach my bank account until next month at least, so I still need to work hard on the challenge for October!

    Found £40.00:j
    It was in our new savings tin & hubby must have put it in when we emptied the last one for our hols!!
    I changed coins to notes & paid into new going on hols Nationwide Account (saved a fair bit due to their good exchange rate & no ATM or forgien currency charges) he took some to change into euros. I remember him muttering about he thought he had lost £30, so I think this must be it plus £10!

    I have owned up to the £30 though!

    Anyway going to count it, but also make sure we are more careful in future!!

    A few survey sites waiting to get to payout levels, but nothing really lined up except my daily b!ngo scratch cards.

    Will have to ebay this weekend.

    Good luck for October everyone

    Make sure you check out the Boots Grabbit Quick thread if you are after Urban Decay products! There is some kind of glitch you can take advantage of I believe, online.

    tirlittan its entirely up to you what to aim for per day. Why not start at £5 and if half way through you feel your doing well then attempt £10 for the rest of the month. i havent reached it in a few months but its the challenge that makes me try and make as much money as i can.

    :T Well - I can't believe it! What a day! Actually sold a rather obscure book on Amazon (on pig keeping...!), (£12.49), AND made a net gain of £15 on Quidco
    - so all in all £27.49 on day 1!!! Amazing!!

    Thanks for the inspiration you guys.

    PS - how do I add one of those little lists at the bottom of my posts? (Sorry if this is an annoying newbie question...)
    £10/day October : £0/£310

    I've listed a whole lot of children's books on ebay today - they have been on Amazon for years - literally - so I'm trying a new market before Freecycle. DH wants them out of the house!
