    Hello all, not posted so far this month because I have been on holiday. Came back this morning to 8 amazon sales and lots of surveys.

    Anyway in the mean time I have made £30 with banked change, £3 LV from Pinecone, £43.15 from Amazon and £5 as a Halifax 'reward' so a total of £81.15 so far.

    Finally off the mark this month! £156.16 from horrid 2nd job and £70.74 transferred from my paypal. Still waiting for two items to be paid for on ebay - so impatient I keep checking every 5 minutes!! Had to cancel one of my MS last week as I walked in and found one of my friends now works there :mad: How dare she get a new job without obtaining my prior consent? :p

    But still managed other 4 and took something back to New Look but not counting as shouldn't have bought it in the first place! Feel as though there are lots of bits and pieces due to come my way but want them all now!!

    Off to scout more MS while I am motivated and make the most of my day off. Well done those of you who have hit target already! I am (unselfishly) pleased and (selfishly) panicked!! :p

    £7 cheque received from Mazuma Mobile, for sending off my old broken phone (mentioned this the other day, but got the cheque now so can count it). Also put a bet on as part of a mystery shop and I won £4.20, yay!£1.43 overtime for staying extra 15 minutes after my shift, and 62p tips (it comes to something when you count 62p, doesn’t it! Lol). Also managed to get 5 Ebay listings done last night, and one has sold for £4.60 after fees and postage. No watchers or bids on the other 4 yet, but early days so fingers crossed! Got about another 10 things to list… god, it’s such an absolute mission though isn’t it?! Lol. Have to keep thinking of this challenge to motivate myself!

    Just had a very expensive weekend, so am feeling a bit guilty now - night out with the girls on Sat, a christening on Sunday (so pressie and drinks to buy), and me and OH are going out for a Chinese buffet meal tonight, as he’s just got a new job so said I’d treat us to celebrate. It used to be only £8.90 each on a Monday, so I thought we‘d be getting a bargain…just checked on the restaurant website and it’s gone up to flamin’ £13.90! Credit crunch or what?! Lol. Thank god for this challenge though, I wouldn’t have been able to afford any of this weekend without it :D It's great, just motivates me to get that bit of extra cash so we can have treats that we wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise!

    I'm not having a good month challenge wise! A few payouts from surveys, a few small sales on ebay and a pub quiz win take my total to £28.38. I've no mystery shopping lined up, but am expecting payments for a few, and a cheque from Global Test Market.

    84p bank interest.

    I had about 10 items on Ebay ending last weekend and nothing sold. Could be that I was selling a load of old tut.. Wondering why on earth I decided to increase my target this month. :confused:
