    Am exhausted today, had a bad nights sleep and was up early to go to a car boot sale, i managed to not spend anything but my oh spent a few pounds on some games.
    I have listed another 7 things on ebay so far and hopefully will be able to put on a few more before the nights out, i am going to put up a to do list as i think it will get me more motivated to get stuff done.
    • Shop and scan
    • Food on the go
    • Find some more things to put on ebay
    • Surveys
    • Daily Clicks
    • Cokezone Codes
    • Competitions
    Also searching through some bags I have found 1600 kenyan schillings so may be able to get something back for that.

    I ended up being out of most of yesterday, I had to take OH to the hospital to get checked out then had to go to the GP afterward to organise tests etc. I got my Occ health form started for my boss to complete and send off though when we went to see the GP he said i was not ready to go back to work yet!! finally got home about 7pm after all that so didnt get as many daily clicks done as i usually do and didnt get to post ebay things so going to prepare them now. I had a spend day yesterday and will be having a spend day today. Managed to put some more stuff on ebay and have got 2 bid already and got a few watchers on them so hopefully will be able to make a bit more money.
    I took the kenyan schillings into m&s yesterday as i will not be going to kenya anytime soon i managed to get £10.60 back that i wasnt expecting so i will include that into my total.

    Hi, sorry but it has been a few days since i have checked in as have been busy, had my grandma's birthday etc. managed to get a total of £152.81 on the spetember challenge so hopefully will be able to achieve better this month but will have to wait and see. I have been paid and put some money straight into my savings account so i cant spend it. so will add that to my total too.
    I am still having problems with ebay and my acount has been comprimised today so having to go through ebay help to get it sorted again.
    I have been trying to do all my daily clicks but have not achieved all of them over the last few days but will continue try try to maintain them.
    I have finally got a date for occupational health next week so will finally find out about return to work.

    Hi Bex,

    Don't know if you signed up to Ecasher but if you search on there for 'Netpig' you can do 2 car ins, van ins and home ins quotes per week on each, £1 a time. Thats £6 a week or a free £24 a month :D

    Saw it on the main daily click thread here https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2132075

    Not sure how long it will last but thought i'd mention it incase you weren't aware. It's worth keeping an eye on this link as you'll find new clicks on here that may not be obvious to find.
