  • Some free bingo money hit my account and received a cheque for £20 for some research I took part in.
    Have met my target and the money making kept the wolf from the door when I couldn't find a job earlier this month! :D

    Final update of the month:

    Used till coupons in Tesco on Friday saving me £3 on £20 spend as well as 75p on £2 spend on milk. Did car boot today taking in £103 but have costs to come of that - £6 pitch fee, £20 storage fee*, boght a clothes display stand for £7 and a few lots off another booter for £4 as she did not want to take them home with her, which means will add £66 to my total

    Final Total for August is £502.88 so after a slow start to the month, I am mighty pleased with myself 0002013F.gif

    * Mr 3Dogs has decided to start doing car boots properly (buying and selling, tax, accounts, etc) so he has rented a container unit at the car boot/market to store all our carboot stuff and excess ousehold bits - they charge £20 per week which is pretty good for a full size container -and we have access 6 days a week. This means that, in future, I will only count the takings from my own bits from car boot sales, not on the gear hubbie buys & sells

    Taking this into account, I reckon I can still do £10 per day so can you please put me down for the September Challenge at £10 per Day (£300) - ta

    Finally, I have something to post about :T

    In my first three weeks of Tiki Fishing I have won £11.45 :T:T (Was £11.65 but I pressed the wrong button and managed to spend 20p without realising it :o)

    I've also............wait for it.........sold some stuff on Eb4y :T:T:T
    Haven't quite worked out how much yet. Looks about £15 worth, not massive amounts but I was selling stuff Dad was going to give away anyway so it's money for nothing as far as I'm concerned :). Now comes the bit I don't actually enjoy, the packing and sending away! Post Offices, Ugh!

    Won't be counting this till next month now as I won't be adding it to my bank account till September (tend to do things once a month so I know where I am instead of little bits floating about all over the place!)

    Anyway, was a bit excited so thought I'd post.

  • Well, that was quick. Back again.

    I'm actually going to declare August now at £44.53.

    I know I have about £60 due in September so I'll try again. Will have to work out my Eb4y dates as I'm back to work as of 6th September so I need to make sure I'll be about to post stuff.

    Anyhoo, at the end of September that means I will have enough money to buy my sons their tickets for WWE Raw next April.:T:T

    Nothing to add, so not a great month but it's been so bitty with moving so hopefully next month will be better and less expensive!

    Still waiting for my landlady to get me the internet access key so am hampered slightly by a slow dongle connection but looking forward to getting sorted.

    approx £70 from ebay. Don't think I'm gonna make £10 per day but might make £5 per day.

    My final update...

    £36.40 today from extra work & £20 from ebay this weekend :)

    That makes my total: £427.87

    I'm so chuffed :) that helps out so much, I hope that next month I can carry on and make the £300 target, I've already been jotting down some ideas!

    Thanks to the people who run and comment on this thread, this means a lot to me :beer: :T
