    Well I didn't think I had a hope of making it - but Mr Taxman helped along nicely by giving me a big fat rebate of £417.44!!!

    So another 70p on a survey (I have just realised how quickly you need to do them before they have their full quota!), £68.45 from my Rpoints account and I have smashed my target. Thank goodness - but I won't be able to rely on the taxman another time.

    Thanks to everyone for the help and motivation given. I could have been much better, but I have at least learnt a lot that will help me in the future, should I try again another month. In the meantime, I now have a husband without a job as of Friday. We knew it was coming so no surprise there, but we need to get our heads down and hopefully he'll very soon be back employed - or maybe self-employed for a bit - who knows? For the moment he's going to enjoy some very well earnt time off, having given 20+ years of his life to his company.:beer:

    £1 found on the beach. Not doing very well this month. The 4 items I put on ebay didn't sell, and they were on the 3rd time so don't know what to do with them now... Any ideas?
    DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!
    Proud to have dealt with my debts!

    Thanks for asking what MBing is as it was from my original post which said that I was going to include my MBing profits. If that is that case then I have seriously smashed my target - I have a little over £600 from MBing and I'm £36 short of £600 for the 'other' things, not including eBay.

    Have decided not to include MBing profits for now...but in future months might do if I am not doing well on the challenge :rotfl:

    :jIm not adding it to my total but I just sold my old car for £300. :j
    And another day of no extra earnings at all sadly other than the car sale but given I had a week off and have had no big cash outs this month I've done better than I expected - away this bank holiday weekend too so will probably call it on Thursday evening. :D

    Hi Sarah - No I'm not - the LiveChat guy said that beause I withdrew some of the £ I had in (Ie I deposited £10 and played through it , then deposited another £10, did two scratchies (won 20p), then withdrew my £10) I had forgeited my right to the bonus and this included my 20p winnings and loyalty point for my first played through deposit as I hadnt fulfilled wagering requirement. I asked what that was (couldnt remember) and he said it was hard to say really but I should deposit another £10 anyway.
    Nah! LOL!

    My own fault Im guessing but was miffed yesterday.
    Thanks for replying x
