    Not a lot to report here.

    I have more watchers on my eBay stuff and both make up items are sitting at the £7 mark.

    Done a few more surveys on onepoll. Slow but steady.

    Working tomorrow night so that extra pennies in the pot too :)
  • I decided to give this a go after seeing the thread on here early in January! Have been a bit of a lurker so decided to motivate myself by posting and updating my signature!

    I've got a few ideas but even if I manage to get a quarter of the way to 11k I will be pleased!

    Well, for me I have started by using some money from a savings account I used to use - its only £24.30, but transfered to pay overdraft off. Also, emailed HBOS about the £140 they were going to pay into my account other month but never did, will use this towards too if they end up paying it (Ombudsman is involved). One of my credit cards is £6 in credit, going to phone them for a cheque for the difference. Will have to see what other accounts I have about!

  • Quick update - I have got extra hours from work, so will count this towards my total once I see it on my payslip next month, but I reckon even at my paltry rate of pay I should get about 80 pounds extra every week so that will be a good boost to my total. On ebay I haven't counted up my total, haven't had the time but will get it added this week. I can't believe how well its going so far

    Good luck everyone, and keep plugging away at making those extra few quid

    Combination of ebay,surveys and overtime and not paying Council tax/water rates, now up to £592.33!!
  • Ive had £1.57 valiadated on quidco but thats it!

    Ive got heaps of excess stock from my old stall so ive packaged it up as it was loose and i will sell it at the car boot sales as its the kind of thing that will get lost on ebay. My OH is still adimant that he will pay back the money i lent him to buy the car that got written off but im not getting my hopes up until he pays it, and we have both agreed that it will get put towards my £11k though.

    No car boot this weekend as OH has overtime and gets a generous hourly rate for sunday,so that means its an ebay weekend for me!

    My tip for the day is that if you live near sainsburys,it may be worth popping in as my local one is reducing random store cupboard foodstuffs to 30p,ive got loads of cooking sauces,sharwoods ready noodles,cereals,etc. Its not damaged stuff either! i think its where they change the packaging,discontinue the item,etc. I saved about £1 per item :D

    have a good day everyone!
    ;)

    Hi, made my first c/c overpayment today, yay :j So I have decided I am only going to add to my totals when I physically make overpayments or money is added to my savings account. I have quite a bit more earned but won't add it yet, till it gets to the right people/place iykwim! It's the only way I can keep track.

    Put in a withdrawal for Co$ta (£40ish) and Pureprofile, PP has a new short survey on today.

    Bad news yesterday, someone drove into my car at the school gates and then disappeared. I think I know who it is but it is going to be a tricky confrontation this afternoon. I hate this kind of thing :o
