    £3.59 from an Amazon book sale but not much else to report.
    Should reach payout on a scratchcard this weekend but may be struggling for the rest.

    I'm only counting actual money made as extra not savings (although they are welcome!) so nothing new to report as I have nothing on ebay at the moment and no further sales from Amazon.
    I have done a few surveys but won't count those until I get the payout and then can count it as a £10 made (should be soon only about 50p short).
    I also have an extra £12 tracked on Quidco this month but won't count that until its paid out.

    I also had some good news today - I have 4 full weeks of supply teaching starting on Monday. I wasn't expecting to get paid teaching work at all before September (I only qualify formally as a science teacher this week) but I had a contact that knew someone who needed a "long term" supply teacher to cover a sickness - went to see them today and got offered it on the spot! Hurrah!
    I'm not exactly sure what I'll get paid yet but its a full time job for a month.:j:j
    I'm still trying to make the extra £50 or so needed in June to reach my target of £150 extra cash. It should be doable - just need to find some extra ideas.

    Good luck to everyone else.

    Nothing to add to signature, but yesterday I had someone come in to deal with a damp / rot problem that I'd had in my house since I moved in nearly 4 years ago. I'd anticipated that it would have cost me well over a thousand pounds to sort out plus the cost of replacing the laminate flooring in that area. Lovely builder completed the whole job, added a damp course for free, re-laid my laminate AND fixed a leak under my sink - all for £185!!! WHAT a lovely man and WHAT A RELIEF - I've worried about that problem on and off for 4 years !!!

    Had a good start to the week (well a good Monday) had an interview that I thought went really well, got given a brand new slow cooker from a relative who didn't want it and only spent £1.29 on a shopping trip but things have gone down hill from there. Haven't heard back from my interview yet and really struggling to find other jobs that I can apply for :( Then yesterday had to take dog the vet which was an unwelcome £63 bill. So feeling very sorry for myself and struggling to find the motivation to make my £5 a day even though now I probably need it more than ever :(
    On the plus side though I've recycled two mobile phones and have got £96 due to be paid into my bank tomorrow - though I'll wait till it's actually there before I update my total

    Just started cashback-ing - makes me feel less guilty when I impulse buy!

    I've not got anything definite to add until later tonigh/tomorrow when a mass of ebay listings end. Not expecting masses of money but I do have £60ish in paypal as it is, just decided to wait until this lot ends before withdrawing it :)

    Hope everyone is having a good week!
