    £8.17 from ebay sales to add. Still waiting to put my £6 cheque in the bank so will add that when I've handed it in. I also have my Avon sales to add, but I'll wait until I've sent my refund back before I add that.

    Hi sweetpeas - that would be great if you could do the Sept thread, I'll do another again soon when purpleroses next needs a break. To be honest its probably best as my diary for next month seems to be filling up fast. But I have finally paid my wedding reception deposit which is one less thing I need to do now :)

    Today I have made £5 from GFK and 35p cashback from Quidco.

    I've done nothing on BP this week as I seem to have been out most evenings. Not even done any ebay either but at least the free listings 22nd to 31st means I don't feel quite so bad about that
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155

    I should have posted here a while ago but kept forgetting... anyway just to say, mainly thanks to a fair amount of overtime at work, I met and have now exceeded my August £10 a day challenge! I just hope I can do it again next month too :)

    Another couple of quid from one of the ebay sales paid up.

    Had some bad family news on Wednesday so since tea-time then I've just spent most of my time in a complete daze with zero motivation at all. Really need to get some more stuff on fleabay though else I'm never going to reach my target :rolleyes:
