    Well done to all those who have made their targets. Well, it seems every time i say thats it for me, i earn some more money!! Can't complain though! I made £20 yesterday from very easy mystery shops. So my grand total for the month is now £510. Here's hoping November is just as productive.

    Ooh I'm so close! I just used a free bet that had been hanging around of £50, made £44.41 straight profit, and am now up to £286.95!!! I have a payment from RE of £29.44 thats left them and should be in my account today or tomorrow, which would be £316.39 - I'll make it if RE have their act in gear! I can't wait, I never thought I'd get there this month.

    £2.73 monthly interest from an account I've got. I'm creeping closer to halfway at least. 2 items ending on ebay soon and I've got lots of points vouchers to use in Boots tomorrow that will nudge up my total. Still going to have about £20 to find though. Hmmm, with have a think and a pray!

    That's about me done for this month: £242.86 which isn't £10/day but better than a ...... with a ...... ...... (fill the gaps with your favourite saying :) )

    It has been interesting as it's the first time I've tried the monthly challenge and I like it, so I'll be around for the November one.

    This time, I'm going to try and keep all of the 'free' money in a separate account and once it gets to a certain amount (e.g. £500) use it to pay something off. That's the theory...

    bonsibabe - I saw the magic 'consolidate' word in your post above :eek: Standard DFW warning applies including to remember to be strict and not to run up debts elsewhere.

    The monthly one is good, isn't it, GTD? And that £500 in a separate account and then use it is exactly what I do - I'm ecstatic at the mo because I got up to £500 yesterday (tho in that I'm counting stuff thats left a mystery shopping firm but hasn't arrived in my account) and I used it to make an overpayment on my mortgage! Very happy with that. Or, as I say, ecstatic!
