Sold a few odds and ends on eBay today, so adding £23 on to my total for that, plus £5 for MySurvey. Been a decent month really, about £230

saved £5 today after I used a voucher I got when I complained for something woop woop!! so adding it to the challenge!

Now I've officially moved the money I said yesterday (and I've done a cheeky bit of rounding up from my other account) I now have a 3 month total (its practically the end of March) of £1,500!! So... I'm definitely not on track for the £11000 but I am trying. If you think as well I'm averaging £500/month so mybe by the end I will have £6000 which is still pretty good going to me!! I know I've had some things in there though which maybe I shouldn't count (like reclaimed expenses and money owed to me) and some one off things (like my tax return) but I am still going to keep plodding on and hopefully keep this up for the whole year!
In this vein I've been working hard at dooU, just need more things to write about though!!!
Hows everyone else doing? Found any worthwhile tips/tricks? I'm amazed at how little dribble there is!

well done tinkerbell, i think it really makes a difference having a separate account as you can really see the money grow.

i am very interested in DoU but crap at writing but could help by reading reviews so if anyone want to PM me their link or whatever it is feel free.

still plodding along with the Tesco DTD totally hooked !

cleaned out my cupboards yesterday and made an inventory so i know what i have got and am going to stop throwing out out of date stuff and use it all up. i chucked a bin bag full of out of date sauces, and stuff last night :eek:

got my first half of Census pay yesterday so thats £363 straight in as its money I wouldnt have had, no tax either so chuffed with that, will keep it all though as think I might owe them a tiny bit by end of tax year - i have to do a tax return for this year:mad: thats a first as i have been PAYE all my life until now.

oh well - off to Mr Ts:D

Keep it going everyone

Ok this is a little crazy. I found another 30p today, totally different place. This brings the sum total of money found to £1.77. This time round it was a 20p in one place, 1 x 5p, 2 x 2ps and I just picked up a penny coming up in the lift!!
