Anyone who's struggling can take heart from my total - £89.48 :rotfl: . In my defence, I haven't had a computer and I was really struggling to find ways to make money without it.
I think it's pretty unlikely I'm going to make it now, but you never know (Ga!a free bongo here I come!).
Well done everyone so far.

Hello - sorry havent been too proactive on this challenge as have been uber busy this month but just thought i'd check in to say
:j I'VE DONE IT!!! :j
I thought it would helpful to give a breakdown of how I've come to £1069.92, so heres a summary:
Birthday money £80.00
B!ngoportvouchers £35.00
Work £203.56
Money found £1.00
Credit card cashback £23.70
Cashback £201.73
Surveys £66.00
Sales £101.10
Rent return £160.00
Interest £14.50
Vouchers from petrol £10.00
B!ngo scratchcards £172.40
Wins £0.93
TOTAL £1,069.92
I use 4 scratchcards - 1 TAB and 1 St M!nver for me and OH. The sales are mostly through amazon, and the cashback is all quidco. Work is overtime. Surveys that paid were !psos, l!ghtspeed and p!necone.
I only counted money when i had received it and now have £45 in amazon vouchers, £25.52 in paypal, £35 cash in my purse and £964.40 in the bank. Thanks to all for your ideas. I will continue with the challenge until Tuesday but will migrate to the April £10 a day challenge after that or otherwise I will lose motivation to make extra! Will pop in with a final total on March 31st.
Good luck to everyone still to complete and especially nykmedia for opening the challenge! Thanks everyone! :T Kym0 -
