    £10 from tax man and £10 from scratch card today :)
    Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month
  • Well hello all, I like this challenge as I don't feel embarassed not to post often and to do things randomly rather than every day :D

    Looking OK - £50 Premium bonds, £35 games bonuses, £15 ish MB, £10 surveys, £10 Pigsback... etc making my total £245.63... not bad not great!

    Have realised I have about £100 cashback to come before the end of the challenge so that will be nice :) Otherwise I need to do some more matched betting and hope for more than 10p on the scratchcards!!! Also BingoPort - should play more there but get tired of mindless posting!!

    Hope you are all well and collecting in the pennies... guess I need to start surveying again but CAN'T BE BOTHERED :o:o:o Happy money making :D

    Hi All,
    I haven't been on here for ages...I wasn't quite sure what I was doing and if I was going to manage it, but with a re-think and a calmer approach, I've decided I can, so I've updated my signature.
    I've got a chq to deposit as well but won't add that until its in the bank...

    Okay, mega post from me. I'm still not quite up to target, but not far behind now, and I've got some things in the pipeline. This is what I've got so far:
    2.31 quidco, whoopdedoo!
    125 Christmas gifts, bah - but needs must
    10.50 scratchcards
    5.20 Amazon sales
    3.48 savings on purchases
    5 Amazon voucher from bingo port
    20 mystery shopping
    10 Amazon voucher from Toluna - a few months ago, I realised I was two thirds of the way there, so instead of just doing the surveys in my inbox (and getting turfed out of them, more often than not) I went to the site and gradually filled in the daft little surveys they've got. You can only do so many per month, but it hiked me up in points really quickly.
    58.85 matched bet.
    Total: £240.34

    Expected still:
    - I have £43 in yougov! Not long now ...
    - another matched bet done this week, I'm expecting £38
    - I'm nearly there on the qype challenge, that'll be £50.
    Total expected: £88 immediately, not counting yougov in that yet.

  • Hi all

    It sounds like we're having mixed success on this challenge. I'm almost there.....I've a ton of auctions finishing on Sunday and reckon the £1000 will be mine! I'm going to keep going for the 100 days though as I've found this thread pretty motivational. I've made £660 on ebay after all costs, and £60 on topcashback. I haven't counted my mystery shopping at the money for that goes into my ISA/Sealed Pot.
    :grin: Save me from spending...
    Sealed Pot Challenge 2008 - £1004:T 2009 - £1139 2010 - £1260 :j 2011 - £1557 2012 - £740 :beer: No 195 Target £1k
  • Well done!! I've not ben on for about a week as not had anything to report :( I have since done some huge £1.50 sales on eBay so will amend sig in a mo.

    I have just signed up to swap bank accounts should get £100 :D but not sure if that will be in this challenge or the next so I will add it when I get it!
    Sealed pot Member target £200 - No. 151
    GC Yearly £3k so far £1097 May£220/£300
    £1k in 100 days so far - £235 :p
    Snowball debt free calculator says DEC 09 - lets hope we can do it!

  • £345.82 backpay this month so have added this to my challenge. Also found a grand total of 31p on the ground this week so added that too! Have requested my first £50 cheque from dooyoo so will count that once it arrives.
