Thank you- not quite ahead of myself but only £8.50 to go to get to the £100 I'll have to give my uncle :j .
I then want to save £200 of the £500 for my mum next month so I only have to find £300 in April for her. I wonder if it's possible to get £300 from mystery shopping in 1 month??? :cool: .0 -

I am going to try.
My change pot is up to £15.10 and I didn't have to dip into it for my postage today (not saying how I managed to post it though :silenced: :whistle: ).
I'm nearly done with my 100 questions on AQA, will then do my reviews on Dooyoo and look around for something to list on Gumtree (no idea what though!!).

Ok, I have done my 100 questions.
I have listed my iron on Gumtree, which isn't as crazy as it sounds!! I've lived here for 7 months now and haven't used it once!! All of my clothes don't need ironing when I air them properly so I just haven't bothered. The iron is still brand new. I just figure if I need one I could borrow my mum's or get one off Freecycle. Anyway, have listed it for £10 and had one reply so will wait for her to get back to me. That will be another £10 towards my £34.
I'm just about to do the last thing on my list which is my Dooyoo reviews.
I've done up my last Ebay parcel and will post it tomorrow. I still haven't been paid for the amazon voucher. I've sent another email. People annoy me so much on there sometimes. I never wait to pay someone and if I don't have the money then I don't bid :mad: .
Since my list worked for today, tomorrow's list is going to be the same:- Aim to get 1 mystery shop (even if it's one that I'm not that keen on doing - it's money at the end of the day!)
- Do 100 questions on AQA (seriously, seriously doing badly on this again this month)
- Post off Ebay item
- Do 3 reviews on Dooyoo (preferably at work!)
- Find an item to list on Gumtree (even if for a few quid!)

How good am I? :cool: - managed to get 2 mystery shops today. Ok, they are only £5 each but that takes me over £100 for mystery shopping payouts next month :T . Now must start on getting £200 for my mum next month.
I still haven't been paid for my last Ebay item. I have sent a message saying that if I don't at least receive a response by midnight, I will offer it to the other bidder which means that I lose 50p but at least I might get my money more quickly :mad: .
I have sent off the other Ebay item and have also received a Pinecone survey which I will complete later. My change jar is up to £15.48 but will get it up to £20 tomorrow when this guy collects his ebay item.
No response from the woman about my iron so will see if anybody else wants it. I've also listed a cookbook on Gumtree that I will never use which is brand new. A few quid is a few quid after all.
Not sure if I will get all of my questions done today as my internet is playing up a bit and I keep getting thrown out of the software. It's causing my rates to go up and I can't afford to let that happen so might have to give up on that one tonight. I have got around 20 done though.
Need to do my Dooyoo reviews now and will see if my internet improves later this evening.

Morning
I finally got my internet sorted last night but too late to do much. I did manage to do 1 review and that Pinecone survey so better than nothing.
I've sent a second chance offer for my Amazon voucher so fingers crossed they take it up and I can actually withdraw my £100 from Paypal soon.
Jobs for today are:- 100 questions on AQA
- Get another mystery shop (although got 2 yesterday so not too bad if I don't get one).
- Sign up to another mystery shopping company/making money opportunity.
- Complete mystery shop for today and send off report
- Do 3 reviews on Dooyoo.

Hi Emily
As ever you're doing really well. How on earth do you manage to work full time and get so many mystery shopping jobs. For me to get them is like pulling hens teeth!
Keep up the good work but look after yourself too xxLet's start again (really need a kick up the bum now) :wall:Virgin CC £9793.710 -

I sit there at work with my laptop on so I catch them as they come in. Well I try to catch them anyway.

I haven't managed to get an MS today but I guess that I've still got time. Not too worried as I got 2 yesterday. Done my MS for today.
My Amazon voucher hasn't gone yet on Ebay to the second chance bidder. I'm fed up with waiting and have withdrawn £95 from my Paypal. That included £3 from Pinecone. I will put the other fiver towards the £100 myself and will just relist my Amazon voucher on Sunday if it doesn't get bought or paid for before then.
I've got a buyer collecting tonight so my change pot will go up to £20 after that. Neither of my Gumtree items have sold though. Might see if I can find something else to list tonight.
I want to find somewhere else I can register to make some extra money too. I registered with Saros yesterday and am looking for something similar to join tonight. Will see what I can find.
Emily x0 -
Ive never actually done anything for Saros.
