    I'm only counting money thats guarentee'd i.e. although I have money tracked in quidco, it might not be paid out until November time!

    Yesturday I got payment for 3 Mystery Shops :T £30 and I've got 4 more schedules over the next couple of days which means £32!

    I've got Travel expences to claim of £70 and yesturday I got 2 cheques ammounting to £400 :eek: that I didn't realise was coming but I'm keeping that aside for our holiday spending money so we don't have to touch the savings:o This time in 21 days I'll be sat in the departure lounge of the airport :D

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

    Hello All, wonder how the others are doing? Got another £22 from selling some perfume gifts sets. It all mounts up.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Going fairly well! I've done 3 Mystery Shops today! The means £22 in fee payments and £20 for the lunch which I'll be reclaiming, because I've "spent it" I'm not gonna add it back to my account, I'm gonna add it so my £250 challenge!

    I've got 4 Mystery Shops before next Friday which equal another £28.00 plus £20 reimbursement again!

    I've made £57.30 at ebay, this has just been transferred to my bank account, and a 'watcher' on an item that ends tomorrow and has a starting price of £30, so you never know!

    Listing books on Amazon after.

    Did my first mystery shop yesterday... Leni who are you registered with? I'm struggling to find any and since my boyfriend lives an hour away am able to cover quite a few areas.

    In all of this am not putting it on my total til the cash is in my hand!

    Haven't got through the extra money yet I made over the weekend so not posting it. Did find another 10p though lurking in my car. Think I'm trailing behind.

    Just updated my signature.... once postage has been removed I've made £100.17 from eBay and Amazon. And still about 25 items listed!

    Will try and do a car boot sale soon too!

    I won't get paid for my mystery shop til next month so depends how long this challenge goes on for.
