£1 loan payments, orangutans and learning it doesn't all happen overnight...

Kepp

Thanks Emz, still a bit bunged up but a lot better - could really do with some sleep, roll on next Sunday when I have a day off!

£54 of interest has been added to Lloyds. The 0% ran out at the end of June but the statement made it look like I'd got away with no interest for the July statement too, unfortunately no such luck. Even more looking forward to next month when I will see the back of this card!

Nice payment Becs, you'll be Lloyds free before you know it!

Did you manage to get anything listed at the weekend?

Kepp

I didn't I was so annoyed by the time I got home because of that guy having a go at me I just had McDonald's for dinner and watched the Apprentice Final - think I deserve a slapped wrist!

I think a big part putting me off is doing it all in one big hit - so might break it down so it doesn't seem to daunting to fit it all in around work - first part of the challenge will be to take photos of everything by the end of the week and put them on the laptop, seems do-able

Did you manage to get anything listed?

If_My_Pennies_Were_Pounds

I did 4 items

Better than nothing I suppose but no way that my 4 items will make up the rest of my total and I have no idea how to get to my total!

Kepp

4 items is better than my zero!

I'm surprised actually how far I am from target too - I thought with wages from extra jobs it would be easier - not so!

Could you maybe do mystery shopping?

If_My_Pennies_Were_Pounds

I do have some cash back pending but don't know if it will be payable in time for the challenge ending!

Have been doing surveys etc but don't think there's enough for the total.

Haven't even thought about mystery shopping but since I work full time don't want something that will take up too much of my time...

Kepp

I haven't ever really been too enthusiastic about mystery shopping as I already lack free time far too much!

Have seen people saying they manage to fit it into their lunch breaks etc though so maybe it's not too time consuming depending on the job.

If_My_Pennies_Were_Pounds

I already go home every lunch time to let the dog out though so that wouldn't be an option...

Will need to ransack the cupboards and see what else can be sold! lol

Kepp

Maybe OH has left some stuff lying around that could be sold....;)

If_My_Pennies_Were_Pounds

I'm sure there's loads of things really, it's just trying to figure out where to sell them (eBay or gumtree) and how much for!
