    Hi everyone.

    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.

    Polly
    Well you are doing better than I am I've only got £70 odd... and I do have a computer... just no time or motivation! :o :rotfl:
    Mortgage free as of 12/08/20!

    Got 2 £20 cashback cheques today for buying canon printers from eBuyer (love those cheques - if it wasn't for this challenge and the last I wouldnt have even known about these things! :D ), so provided I get my tutoring money, I will complete the challenge in time!

    Also, £1.33 in interest :D

    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 Kym
