Crimbo crackers countdown

spykey_uk

Hiya!

Hope we're all getting on well? I've managed £87 so far, which is not great but better than nothing I suppose! Still got loads more bits to list on ebay so I'm going to have another purge tonight!

Also I've sold 3 mobiles on mazuma, doing a few daily clickies and my usual survey sites. How is everyone else getting on?

A few ebay and amazon sales to add plus I sold a mountain bike that I won in a competition for £225

I have had a few sales on ebay. A successful car boot. I also started a second job. And I also started up mysery shopping again.:j

Do you count the money when you have earnt it, or when you actually get it in? For example the mystery shopping. I have done 5 this month, but won't get paid until August. So I am guessing I count it in August when it hits my bank account ?

Good luck everyone !

Ooh you guys are doing really well, I need to pick up the pace! :rotfl:

I don't know really, I guess its when you physically have the money, that's what I've been doing, but I don't suppose it really matters?

Need to raid my house again and hit the ebay listings tonight I think! x

You are right, it doesnt make much difference !

I guess it might be an issue in November. No point me doing lots of mystery shops for this challenge in Nov, cos I wont get paid before the deadline in Dec ! And ebay sales would need to be completed 2 weeks before deadline in Dec so I have time to get payment and then transfer from paypal to my bank account.

I am so busy planning ahead I am wasting valuable earning time !!!

I am surprised there is only one platinum cracker and one gold cracker. Will most people scale up if they are doing better than expected?

When I count money...

When I post something from Ebay, Play, Amazon and know the exact amount made I then count it
If I order a voucher I count it
If cashback tracks I count it
If anything goes wrong then I take it back off
Savings I don't count unless I used a voucher off something
um can't think of anything else

I'd love to join this challege please but don't have any chance of even reaching bronze! Any ideas - I'd like to aim for half bronze!

Welcome robsmum - there are lots of tips at the start of the thread which should help. I find selling my unwanted stuff on Amazon, Play.com and Ebay is my biggest money maker
Cashback sites like Quidco if you are buying stuff
Surveys
Overtime or getting a second job

robsmum - I usually fall short of my target but every penny counts. It doesn't really matter too much, think positive you'd be surprised how much you could make. It's all money you didn't have before - either mony of debts or a boost to your savings.

There's loads of things you can try free scratchards, ebay, daily clicks, cashback, surveys, mystery shopping, carboot or take on extra work. Admittedly I could try harder with lots of these. Give the challenge a go and I'm sure folks on here will give you help/ideas if you need it.

spykey_uk: I'm with the others' on this is doesn't really matter when you add the money to your total as long as you're consistent. I tend to add as I earn as I mow the money will come to be anyways.
