    Yes hun, you write a reply with no less than 80 words, that way you earn 100 points. You get nothing if it's less than that.

    Big tip - type it into Word so you can see the wordcount and paste it over into T.

    Another tip - if you havent got Word (like me) then search word count in Google and there is one there that does it for you as well xx

    My computer is still updating lol, had 63 more updates just now to do!

    I have finished sorting all of the listings for Ebay now, just need to wait till the evening to put some more on. Fingers crossed I will make a bit of profit on them. Only putting things on for 99p start but have added 50p postage. My son was selling them for £1.49 with free postage but I think the fees were higher than doing it my way. The buyer will pay for the stamp and I have the envelopes to send them as he gave them to me so wont have to buy them. So even if the items go for just 99p I should get about 70p out of it. I have got 16 different packs ready to sell and have about 6 of each at least so hoping to make about £75.

    Managed a survey on SN this morning but dont know if it will track as didnt go back to the normal page after it finished.

    Off to do some bingo while not many on there, might have more chance of winning lol.

    Well I did my extra shopping reviews last night. So that was 2 lots done. A good start to the months totals that will be.

    Last months totals came to £55.62. Determined to do better this month. I have money tracking on quidco for car insurance and a new credit card (just being used to transfer my balance to 0% and £30 cashback so very mse) so depending how long it takes will either help this month or sometime in the next few I hope. Determined to list more on ebay this month I got a bit fed up with it as I had 2 items go missing in the post last month and of course have no way of proving otherwise. At 99p it just wasn't worth the recorded postage.

    Great challenges again this month, thanks elysia.

    Won't be doing looney as it is not one that I every got into. Instead I will keep with the doing every survey sent as this did really boost my totals.
    Up to 41 gold on whoo so will push on with that and check out the other ones.
    Will check out the coupons thread and do my best to savvy shop. Had stopped putting my saved shopping money into a pot so will get back into doing that.
    Hmm make and sell, can I do photos? I love my photography and may try and sell some of my pictures if that willcount. If not will have to have a think.

    Well done all on the totals for April, lets all try and top them in May!!!

    Take care all

    Well my totals for April were better than I thought.

    I got £70 winnings on a horse....lol I also did it through one poll cashback so I having £15 back from them when I put £10 on so £75 for doing nothing

    I had £25.00 from qidcooo for vistapring.

    Had £50 from topcashback....did everyones RAC online - they give me the money.

    Had £30 from toly- itic in vouchers. Had a bit of a purge in Jan/Feb but got disheartened when the 10000 points went a miss have to get back into it.

    Viva asked for a £10 redeem three weeks ago just come through.

    Pinconey - £6

    Sold one item on ebay for £25 profit....it was a broken cupboardy thing...I got it out of skip next door when they moved out and did it for a laugh....

    So I did better than I thought but have just been plodding along as I`m enjoying crafting at the moment...have blobbed so makes if anyone wants a nose.

    Hi everyone

    Hope all is well, I haven't really done much this month, I am just starting to adapt to the pills I am taking and starting to feel a bit better.

    Its my birthday today so have been out and spent a bit of money that I really shouldn't have, but you only live once right?! I got a new cupcake book and some cake cases with hearts on.

    Finally my Jan redeem on T has been processed! Does the voucher code stay there until you use it or should i write it down? I will give T the extra push this month I am close to another redeem now but haven't really been doing anything with it so I will make more of an effort.

    Money with OH is not good again and I have had to use my save £1 per day money, really dissappointed with myself but needs must. I will try to replace it when everything is sorted.

    Thanks for the new challenges Elysia, I will continue with T and try to be even more of a savvy shopper by looking for voucher codes. I won't have time to play bingo but I think I will makes some cakes to sell :D
    Aiming to completely pay off the credit card in 2012!
