How much extra have you made?

I set myself a challange to pay £300 off the credit cards in September, but as payday has come early and OH got some overtime - I've already paid that £300 off the card!:T

I've just checked what else "extra" I've got coming in and...

Quidco - £48.18 :T payment should be anyday
Mystery Shopping - £45 payment expected soon!
Travel Expences due - £100 :j
Possibley £60 from another account, depends on how much my MOT costs!

so potentially - £253 EXTRA!:D

DEBT FREE for the first time in 10 years and with savings!

1st Baby due May 2011 :o it's a BOY:j

    Hi klare,

    Quidco is a cashback site. There's a huge thread explaining it somewhere on one of the shopping boards (possibly the referral board, but not positive) and the site address is https://www.quidco.com

    Leni that's a fantastic achievement- well done!

    I've got just over £70 in my PayPal account, £12.50 Tesco reward vouchers and £22 of M&S vouchers from using my +More credit card. I'm planning to use the £22 to buy baby clothes for my ever-growing bump- all other baby clothes that I've collected so far have been eBay last minute snipes, sale bargains and hand-me-downs so I'm proud of my limited spend so far.
    Debt at highest May 2006: £27,472.24
    currently: £13,353.25
