    Thanks aureol, not sure yet if motivated is the right word lol, might be biting off more than I can chew!
    Have managed to get a mystery shop for next week, so things are hobbling along. did a few surveys this morning aswell.

    Matched betting scares me to be honest and having read it a couple of times, I think I am highly likely to make a mistake! However I will keep popping back to have a look and see if I can build up some more confidence!

    Hi goingontoolong :hello:

    Good luck with you challenge! Maybe try and sell any old mobiles you have lying around the house. I used Mopay for mine and got £62 (went through Quidco as well) so you could maybe give that a go! That would be 2 day's worth!

    Jo :)

    Shopping £24.98, normally about £40! OK, I didn't buy a dog food (still left) and only one pack of cat food, normally I buy two, so minus about £10. Still, it gives £5.02 in savings :D:D:D Target achivied :jAnd I found 20p coin. Together: £5.22:T

    Thanks for the suggestion jo.
    I usually go through the Tesc0 recycling one, you get cash, or a higher value gift card plus the standard points onto clubcard aswell, workd out quite nicely if most sites are giving similar amounts, the points tend to swing it for me! No phones lying about just now, but possibly some ink cartridges soon!

    did my daily scratchcards, which i had forgotten about and got 35p (better than nowt!) Total in 2 days...£5.35 lol

    Hi,

    I'd like to be a late entry and start myself off with overtime I have done giving me £112 towards my £300 for June.:j
    I plan to list some stuff on e-bay, been meaning to for ages and have a look at survey sites as not tried that before.

    I hope I haven't taken too much on but a challenge is good.
