    Been to check my cashback, surveys etc and have now added those totals to my target. I have made £97.50 so far - not too bad. I've typed up a list of what I've made so far so that I add in only my new earnings each week. I have £27 in YouGov, £2.70 Valued Opinions and £7.80 Cashback rewards. Also got some points in surveys but not enough to claim anything so won't count them in now.

    Glad to see folks doing so well a good start will keep our momentum going!

    Hope x

    Wow, you;re all doing so well. :j

    I've made £5 from a opinion world survey but apparently takes about 6 weeks for money to hit my paypal so will have to wait and see if actually get the cash!

    I'm going to do a serious de-clutter as sure lots I can ebay / amazon etc and will def be reading up on the threads about those.

    I'm on various survey sites and need to see if I can redeem the points yet.

    I'm going to put the cash equivalent of any vouchers into my savings account and hope to see £1009 in there by the end - I'm saving for a deposit for a flat and this will make a big difference!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Make up,

    Its amazing how quickly some of the survey points add up while others take ages, though think becuase I'm not a home owner it makes me inelligible for lots of the surveys as I often don't meet the criteria.

    With the vouchers I previously used them as cash to buy gifts at Xmas this time I'm using them for stuff I'll need for holiday e.g. summer clothes, toilertries so I'm putting them in my can bank beside my hard cash!

    Welcome sparkyt2! I've added you to the list. When I joined my first long term challenge I thought I'd never do it but its amazing how the weeks tick by and as you see your earnings go up you'll push yourself to do better and better. Search for the Olympic Challenge threads if you need some inspiration on how to make that extra dough! There are loads of things that count surveys, over time, ebay, car boot. matched betting, competition wins - the list is endless!

    Hope x

    Thanks Hope78 - I had a very sucessful money making period since 22nd December and made £1390.02. Some of that was a present from my dad towards my target (saving for first house) so should I include gifts or not?

    Brilliant - in that case I'm off to a fab start. Lots of ebaying to be done now - keep putting it off but i really NEED to do it.

    Looking forward to making some money :)
