Wheres you "xetra" money come from?

I know allot of us are finding other ways to boost our debt repayments, just wondering how were all doing it?

I'm getting additional money from Mystery Shopping, Quidco, Ebay and Cake Decorating - I've just agreed to do 200 cupcakes for works AGM next Friday for £100, the cases have cost me £20.39 (foil ones) and the ingrediants will cost £20-30. So I'm looking for a £50 profit from it and maybe other commissions.

I've got 2 cakes booked for November too at £30 each but their'll cost me £20 each to make so less profit!:confused:

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

    Complicated until it suddenly *twigs* then it all makes perfect sense. I dont think you could make a living from it but theres enough out there for a nice bit of extra regular income.

  • I don't have an awful lot of debt as I am only 21 but I am finding that I have alot of savings at the end of this year after registering with Quidco in March and joining this website earlier in the year! :)
