    Well done you guys! I'm not doing well at all - I just gave away another box of stuff - books and CDs that probably could be listed online but, but, but... that's my only (non) excuse. :D

    Hello All , Well im pleased to say this is my first time at this challenge, and im in still in high hopes that i manage it. I have lots of motivation for earning money layely as i have recently found im not getting as much income as i was a few weeks ago due to a debt catching up with me !! which to be honest isnt really ,my debt but my exes in my name}but well im just gonna get on with it and not bore you.
    Things seem to be against me lately thow , as my earning/ saving money on the internet has come to a .very slow halt lately as my pc has got a bad virus which has effected alot of things, and ive borrowed my mates laptop that aint upto datye but works , so im making do for now. But cannot upload millions of pictures i have stored on my desktop onto the laptop for Ebay listings ,at the moment , so fingers crossed it will definately be all sorted before the end of this challenge.
    So what my intention to do for this one is
    • Eventually list on Ebay
    • Mystery shops although they dont seem to have any near me at the moment so sign up to more companies
    • sign up for more scratch card sites
    • Look a bit more into match Betting and give that a go
    • Get more friends to buy online that do not have internet access so i can go through cash back sites
    • continue doing surveys as often as i can and find more to sign up for{am doing}
    • enter as many comps as i can !! am doing}
    • go to more carboot sales in nice weather to purchase items to sell maybe on Ebay / Ebid
    • Actually do a few car boot sales myself !! which will de- clutter my house too!!}
    • Try my damned hardest to find someone to baysit at nightime so i can go back to my old part time job -where i can earn tips aswell!!
    • Stay postitive that i might win the lottery one day and ill share it with you all!!!:j:j
    So as you can see i am only going to count money i have gained in my pocket for this challenge apart from vouchers earnt which i already intend on buying something with so i can then bank the money in a savings account and cash out or save again when this challenge ends.
    So far i have earned :
    -£40.00 from cigerettes my friend brought from holiday so i saved a tenner myself and sold the rest for £30 as i planned to stop !! still planning now :( as ive not been successful}
    -£20.00 from friend to cheer me up a last week {as i helped her out a while ago with something}
    -£10.00 Amazon voucher from lightspeed surveys
    -£3.30 Scartchies online
    -69p Onepoll Surveys
    So my total so far is £73.99 ..
    Sorry for the long post !!!! ;)..and good luck to everyone :D

    Hi everyone, just a quick update from me, i've been ebaying like mad the last fortnight and have the grand total of £314.91 after fees etc. I have done 10 dooyoo reviews and have around £8 in bingo scratchcards. Going to take a break for a couple of days and then I'm going to start the ebaying again (finding stuff in the loft to sell - it's fab, I thought i was going to have to take it all to the tip, it's amazing what people will buy). Trying to talk OH into selling a model he has, i reckon we would get about £250 but he's not budging. mmmm i need to think of something....;)
  • Helloooo, I thought the last one finished on 20/4......oh well, my total was £653 so not too bad :D

    Have got a few things to get on eBay and got a bootfair lined up along with renewal dates for insurances looming for all that lovely cashback if I can find it!

    *** GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY ***

    Thanks to Nyk for once again hosting the challenge :D:D:D
