    I started late, but I've already met my target because of overtime this week :)
    I might even be able to get to the £310 for the month if I'm lucky. I've got a lot that I only just listed on ebay on Sunday when there was free listing and lots of my listings are being bid on or watched so fingers crossed!

    I wish I'd started this challenge earlier - I was so convinced it wasn't possible, but the little bits add up and it's good motivation to use ebay.

    I have so much stuff I don't need, it had always seemed like a bit of a daunting task to sell it all. It's a lot easier if you just try to list items worth £10 a day!

    ...Of course, at some point I'll run out of stuff to get rid of and have to find another way to earn the extra (that won't be for a long long time though!).

    Hi Everyone,

    Just adding £9.50 clubcard vouchers, used this morning, and £5 from mysurvey. I've been quite busy with surveys and things but no other signs of payout yet.

    £20 from me today courtesy of the car dealership who kindly put petrol in my car before waving me off ~ an unexpected bonus as I was planning on heading straight round to the pumps anyway :D

  • I have had the weirdest day! I cashed in my penny jar at the bank and added £16 to my 'makes kitty', then I got £50.40 in overtime thanks work :D

    Got home to find an envelope on the door mat. IN it was a cheque and I am gobsmacked. Ages ago I was in a legal claim against Arg@s for a sofa coated in DimethylFurate (DMF) that we suffered with for 3 years...today I got a compensation cheque for a whopping £2250!!!! Hooray ~ I had given up hope and virtually forgotten about it ...Now I have truely smashed my target and can pay a few bills off. MIL can have her money back too :j

    So to celebrate I have bought a 50p bar of chocolate and after bills will have a tiny bit left to hoard. I am continuing my makes challenge though and currently am selling an item for £2.33 on ebay...I found 18p in the garden too.

    All round great day here. My May total is now a huge £2582.94!!! :eek: I hope everyone else has an awesome day today :D

    I might splurge on a lottery ticket ;)

    wow thats great! I had a day like that last year when I did my ppi reclaim. Was expecting maybe £200 and a cheque landed for £970! I was jumping up and down like a mad women my parents were wondering what on earth was going on! Meant I could pay off my car loan and actually own a car outright for the first time!
