    My targets for the £250 by the end of the month are:

    £50 through mystery shopping - I already have £53 worth of jobs to complete this month which will pay out by the end of the month.

    £100 through Ebay. I'm sure I can find £100 worth of items to sell through the course of the month.

    I'm not sure about the other £100 just yet. Will get my thinking cap on ;)

    I've done one of my mystery shops and have another 2 to go to get to my target of £50.

    I'm trying to think of ways to get the extra £100. I'm going to up the anti in my change jar and start saving 10p's too. I've got nearly £4 in there now so if I aim for £10 by the end of the month then I only have £90 to find.

    Still got to find £100 worth to put on Ebay though, that won't be easy :think: .

    Off to find some other ways of getting the extra £90.

    I'm another £10 towards my £250 target. I managed to get another mystery shop today that should pay out before the end of the month. It pays £8 which means that I've got £61 worth of mystery shopping money coming to me by the end of the month. So:

    £60 - mystery shopping
    £10 - change jar (up to just under £4 already)
    £100 - Ebay

    Leaves me £80 to find.

    Going to try and put on £50 worth of stuff on Ebay this Sunday and £50 the Sunday after. This means that the auctions would finish in time to get the money before the end of the month.

    Will keep thinking about the extra £80 :confused: .

    Just seen that other thread about the ticker website - here's mine for paying off the £250:

    I will keep that up to date and post it again when I make some progress. The money on there is the money in my change jar as I physically have that in my possession.

    No further forward with my £250 for this month, however I have got a couple of mystery shops lined up that will pay out £22 at the end of next month so that will help towards paying my uncle off.

    I've identified £20 worth of items to list on Ebay already. Will have a good old sort out tomorrow to find another £30 worth of stuff.

    I'm trying to win a loads of points on Bingoport and will redeem them on Wednesday so that I can sell whatever vouchers I get for Amazon on Ebay when I receive them. I'm up to £5 already so fingers crossed! I will put this towards the £50 worth of items that I list a week on Sunday as I think I will be running out of stuff by then!

    I'm planning on doing the same with Dooyoo but will wait until I have enough for a cheque. I reckon I could get to £50 by the beginning of April if I do 2 reviews every weekday when I am at work (already have 10k). This can then go towards the £500 that I owe my mum :D .

    Jobs for the weekend:
    1. Get to over £100 in my AQA account.
    2. Clean out the rabbit hutch so I can list it on Ebay on Sunday.
    3. Find and list £50 worth of items on Ebay on Sunday (not including the hutch).
    4. Keep on plugging away at Bingoport and aim for £20 by the end of the weekend.

    Hi

    Another DFW posted about the tickers yesterday. I can't find the post now but the link is:

    I've got someone coming over to look at the rabbit hutch tomorrow afternoon so fingers crossed that they buy it. I put it on Gumtree yesterday so pleased with that.

    If she buys it for my asking price then I will have £75 when the cage I'm buying costs £55 so I will put the extra £20 towards paying off my sister.

    Put some more change in my jar too so I am now up to £4.06.

    Woohoo!! Sold my hutch for £75. That covers the £55 for a new cage plus an extra £20 which I have put aside towards my £250.

    So:

    £60 - mystery shopping
    £10 - change jar
    £100 - Ebay
    £20 - hutch

    Only need to find £60 now (theoretically!)

    Not doing too well on Bingoport, I've lost my £5 voucher and am trying to build up the points again. Will spend a good 30 mins on there now and then hit the questions.
