    Keep up the good work, guys :)

    I have managed to scrape another £35 in sales, so my total MAY reach the 10% mark any day soon! :rolleyes::rotfl:

    Well I’ve got off to a bit of a slow start as I have been rather rubbish at getting my backside into gear! I’ve made a little bit here and there through Pinecone surveys and selling a few odd bits and bobs on Ebay but I need to really start pulling my finger out if I am going to get anywhere near to my £1k target!

    So far I’m up to just over £90 (total in my signature).

    Managed to get a few bits listed on Ebay yesterday and am hoping to do a car boot over the next few weeks as we are going to be having new carpets fitted soon so we need to clear the house of junk so there is less stuff to move!!! I’m also checking Pure Profile and One Poll daily though I’ve yet to try any of the free scratch cards or daily clicks – might need to look into those.

    Oh I’ve also won three competitions in the last week but I don’t think I’m going to include those in my total – what do others do about them do you include them?

    FS If it's free cash then it's included, if it's something suitable for a present then I'd reserve it for a present and add the relevant amount of cash to your total taken from what would have been your gift budget. That's what I'd do. Don't worry about being behind schedule on making the £1000. I have never managed it yet but the extra money, regardless of how much or how little it is, always helps :)

    Hi everyone!

    £10 today from Ebay, everything seems to be slowing up but like you say, even if you don't get to £1k anything extra is still a bonus.
