JANUARY Make £10 a Day Challenge

shazzer22

How do people count their Mystery Shopping? I've just spent £7.11 on Groceries, of which I will be reimbursed £3 spend, £5 fee and £3.50 mileage? So do I deduct my spend? Leaving me earning £4.39 but I keep the groceries so do I count that as £11.50? Confused!

I have finally got started with £44 from Ebay (will post final figure once all fees and postage taken off) and £5 bingoport

Hi all... can I just ask a question.... how do people thnk it works best...

To count the money as it is earned... for example surveys you might earn 50p etc.

Or count the money when you actually GET IT (whether its in voucher or cash form etc)

Another example is that I did a mystery shop today earning £5. Would you count that or would you count it when it hits your bank account (thus earning really for next months challenge)

Advice would be helful please!!!:o

Personally I can't keep track unless I count it when I earn it. Obviously that way you have to make sure you do get it though and if you don't you then have to take it off your earnings. But I've had no problems so far.

This way keeps me focused - if I had to wait until things were in my bank I wouldn't stay motivated I don't think.

Then at the end of the month I put the total amount earned in this challenge in my savings account. Plus left over wages

FF, you are selling loads on amazon at the mo!

And another book goes thanks to Amazon I have listed another five this afternoon too, I am listing a few at a time as it's a lot less time-consuming than Ebay to list things.

I made another £3.26 selling this book, but will be less after postage costs. Once I know what my full total is I will update tomorrow.

Have a nice night all

hey Jesa! thanks for signing up under my bport refferal! I didnt reealise or I would have thanked you sooner! I spend a lot of time on the forums really as I think as long as you do play quite a lot - you can withdraw some of the points. I've never won big on the bingo or slots but i have had a few nice wins and ive withdrawn about £20 amazon with £5 pending so thats not bad!

I only just started doing it yesterday although you did refer me a week or two ago but I wanted to leave something to the Jan challenge. Not that I'm doing that well as I keep using all my points and not winning much. Nevermind, Nicki_Sue is giving me some fab tips for gaining more points :T

Glad you got some points out of my joining too:D

I add my earnings as it goes into my bank. I've only just started with this really, so I don't think I'll make Januarys target, but hopefully by February some of the things I've been doing now will start trickling in.

I've just listed a couple of things on Ebay.

I was just going to leave the earnings in my normal bank account, but I've just thought of a brilliant motivator, our holiday balance is due in May, so I've added it to my sig, and I've set up another esavings account which I'm transfering into.
