    So far I'm on £14.10,
    £4 from P!necone, £9 from selling things from work and £1.10 extra from my parents who've reimbursed me for somethings and rounded up - every little helps.

    hey folks, my first update this month, it's not going so great to be honest :(


    anybody got any ideas for anything else I could do/try????

    First you're off to a good start! It can take a while to really get going. And the fact that you are trying is a step in the right direction. :T

    As for other things you can do, have you looked at the up your income board? theres lots of ideas there - mystery shopping seems to be popular!

    Another day of nothing getting paid but am sorting out my work/study/life time for next year so will probably be swopping some tesco clubcard vouchers for deals this evening.
    Must remember to get my Tesco petrol receipt points added to my card (too stupid to find both credit and clubcard cards on Sunday), as well as a Co-Op points added to that account (can do that one online thought I think).
    Thanks to my stupid car falling apart again am feeling seriously skint this month which is fun, but have a fair bit of cashback due thanks to Chrimble shopping but its likely that will arrive next month so might try not to cashout until then.

    Cashed out £10 on greenmetropolis this morning so should have that by early next week - will add it then.

    Yesterday I made £30 - my OH decided that my car needed petrol (it did need filling) so he filled it for me not realising that I was waiting for a mystery shop at my local garage:rolleyes: Still that's £30 I didn't have to spend on petrol.:D

    Today, I made £1 because I bought a pack of 6 fairycakes that had been reduced from £2.99 to £1.99.
