    Can you put me down for £10 a day in June again - everything to gain from giving it a go. Thanks.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Dinah - I love the fact that £15 a month for you is taking it easy - you are a money making machine! ;) As a secret lurker on your thread I will have to scoot over now and catch up!

    £16.18 from Play - in hindsight I should've saved it for next month but the budget til payday is looking slightly tight so better to be safe than sorry I guess :rolleyes: and £17.98 from MS has also appeared in my account - so awful at keeping track of what I have and haven't been paid for! :o
    Barclaycard [STRIKE]£7,296.35[/STRIKE] £6134.99 - MBNA [STRIKE]£4,182.88[/STRIKE] £3267.08 - O/draft [STRIKE]£569.31[/STRIKE] £413.59 - Capital One [STRIKE]£1477.55[/STRIKE] £1451.44

    Morning all, glad to see so many people joining in next months challenge!
    Don't think i'll make any more money this month but won't stop yet.
  • Sweetpeas - thanks for volunteering for next month! Please can you add me for £10 a day...have done okay with £15 a day this month, but there's no overtime next month so doubt I'll reach that again! Thanks hun :D

    Lightspeed £1, Valued Opinions 75p, mystery shop payment £15.12 (after taking off reimbursements and tax), and Cashbackkings £15.65. My lovely mum gave me and OH £100 to treat ourselves going away to a hotel too, as a reward for him giving up smoking - not sure whether to include that? Don't think I will, as we would never have afforded a night in a hotel otherwise - so will see it as an extra treat instead, rather than money made. My mum is the best!

    Had some good news yesterday too, an extra shift at my 2nd job :D Someone’s leaving, so they’ve asked if I want one of her afternoons. Don’t know whether to add it to this challenge as overtime or not…hmm. I’ve been doing okay without it, but I’ve been using that spare afternoon every week to do surveys, MS’ing, Ebaying etc for the challenge… now won't have quite as much time. I won’t add it for now - but if I’m struggling I might start :p Oh and I’ve decided to stop adding Onepoll when I do the surveys each day too, as I get confused with what I’ve already added! I’ve just withdrawn £40, so will start afresh and just count the next £40 as and when I withdraw it (probably in about a year! Lol).

    Family member £3,700 - Virgin CC £1,000 - MBNA £1,700 - Barclaycard £2,500 (was £2,700) - Halifax CC £1,280

    Thanks for the welcome back purple & sweetpeas :)

    Think I need this challenge to keep me going - hauled out a pile of books, clothes and bits & pieces to get selling next month, and better get started on this next qype challenge too.

    After I've done today's work of course!

    Been sat puzzling out what we're going to do for the target in May as it's starting to daunt me, especially since we have a MS drought here atm. So far I have:
    1. Finally send ID details to TAB so we can withdraw (£45)
    2. The dreaded surveys (how are we not at cashout level on any in nearly a year of doing them?!)
    3. Sell the two old laptops on Ebay (£300 between them hopefully)
    4. Hopefully make a few more amazon sales (need to check if prices have been undercut)
    5. Try to get some MS jobs, currently we have a staggering 1 job lined up for a £5 fee, and one with no fee but a nice meal out.
    6. Butlins scratchies
    7. Keep crossing fingers for a comp win
    8. Onepoll (but not at cashout level again for a few months)
    9. Try to list a few of the big boxes and cases full of stuff on feebay
    10. OH is planning to start wrapping his head around scary MB-ing
    11. OH has at least one Saturday at his old second job for this month as holiday cover (£24 profit after petrol a day)
    So, with that list ready and waiting I'm a little less scared by how we're going to make it this month. In fact if we do finally list those laptops I really ought to bite the bullet and say we'll go for the full usual £20... :rolleyes:

    Hi to all the regulars and of course all the newbies :hello:

    I will be setting up the new thread tonight and will post the link when it's done. ;)

    In fear of repeating myself cos my memory is terrbile and I've not had chance to read over the last page of posts yet :rolleyes:, me and a mate have started up a little ironing business and have got our first customer :D my mate picked the stuff up from her yesterday and I'm finishing it off tonight and taking it her back tomorrow after work/before the other work :rolleyes:

    As it's all extra and in addition to mine and DH's first two jobs ( :eek: ) I will be couting any money made from it towards my challenge, cos I will be saving it towards paying for Centre Parcs next month. :D

    Dinah, I have changed your aim on my little list to £20 a day... so no going back no I'm affraid... it's written on my pad now! :rotfl:
