    £0.11 from Quidco :p
    £37.06 - my sister visited for 10 days and gave me 50 Euros
    £16.90 Ebay profit

    The £20 from Rewarded 0pinions arrived, plus another PC survey, so £24 to add.

    It's been so long since I ebayed anything, I've forgotten what to do - must get back into it.

    Have a good day

    £10 from free scratchcards and £5 from lightspeed for surveys takes me to £587.34 - over half way.:D

    I would never have believed that this was possible before I signed up to the challenge.
