good luck with the job interview - hope you get it.

ouch to your back, hope you are feeling better. x

Thanks. It wasn't a job interview, it was an interview for a course to get me into uni. But i've decided not to go ahead with it anyway, lol. My back is agony but i've done my physio today and its eased a little. Now sat with a hot water bottle on my back

Thanks for asking after me tho :beer:

Reading some of the older previous threads will also help, not only with ideas, but also you'll see how much support everyone gives to each other.

Find what works for you, and join in ... they don't bite really

Hi guys, I've been using this site for a few months, and just spotted this challenge. Looks like a great idea, and I may well start trying to do this on my own (a bit sensitive at the moment at the idea of public failure if it doesn't work). Not officially signing up as it's halfway through the month, but it's at least encouraged me to keep a track of what I'm getting in 'extra' from surveys and stuff though.

What I have to ask though, is how do you keep going, and not lose enthusiasm for it?

Well said G'Angel.

:hello: and welcome SSS - sorry if I abbreviate, it is hard to type full names in a hurry.

How do we keep motivated? by reading this thread, and seeing people posting things like, found 1p roadkill, sold something on ebay, got overtime today. Sold x, y and z.

I also read some of the diaries, they in themselves are amazing. They help me to stay motivated. When you read how someone is growing their own veg and fruit. That helps you to keep going.

I remember reading when Purpleroses made her last payment on her debt and is now debt free. That is what keeps me motivated

Everything she makes now is for a deposit.

If you feel low, demotivated, want to rant, rave, want some moral support, read and post. The spirit on this thread keeps you going and keeps you motivated

Collected £2.80 winnings from another bet that was put on for a MS so all profit.
Also got 3 lemon meringue pies from Tesco today as there was a pricing error so got paid to take them away thanks to Double the Difference. Should have been paid £1 to buy the 3 pies, but the woman got it wrong, and ended giving me £8 back instead of the £6 she should have, I only spent £5 on the pies
So £3 profit and 3 free pies! I don't even eat them, but have made my parents, the in laws and the neighbours a bit happier!

£15.90 profit from a few Ebay sales in the last few days as well. Starting to see the difference now in the amount of crap waiting around to be sold (not that my OH would agree, but slowly but surely it IS getting less! Honest)

Really looking forward to next month to find out whether we are expecting a girl or another boy, and if it's a girl then I can't wait to be able to load the boxes and boxes and bags of our sons clothes into the car and get down to a bootfair. Have a fair old amount of other bits and bobs, old clothes of mine and other half, household bits etc etc as well that will be good for bootfair, but we thought we might as well wait and take it all together rather than having to go twice and pay twice the fees! Will take pretty much everything that is currently in the Ebay boxes as well, as even if we get slightly less for it, at least it will be gone for good as I won't have the time to Ebay as much once we have another baby, and we are moving before then as well so I don't want to have to lug crap we don't want to a new house. Am having to value our space, and more importantly our sanity lol over the money (only just though!)


Just remembered I found 1p at the bus stop when I got off the bus today! had to pretend to be looking at my phone till the bus pulled away though so I din't look silly picking it up!!

This isn't going very well at all! I'm moving house, so I don't seem to have the time to do the little extra's to earn the pocket money, but I've dug out LOADS of stuff for ebay. Just sold two pictures, £10.31 profit, waiting for another payment of £26.76 and selling a lot more. I'm trying to list one item a day. On the plus side, clearing out the house I keep finding loads of odds and sods of money for my penny jar!

I've been doing it so long, I don't care anymore. My work colleagues who I go to lunch with laugh at me, but have noticed they have started looking for reduced food at lunchtime, etc.

A whole £1.65 to add from eBay.

I bought some new pans from Sainsbury's today. £18 reduced from £60. I was planning on buying some in the next few weeks anyway but this bargain brought my purchase forward. Unsure whether to add the saving or not because I don't think I would have actually spent £60 on them in the first place.

Good Morning all,

hope everyone is keeping well..
had to have an necessary spend on the cc, so now back to trying to clear that.. have managed to make £57.85 actually banked so far this month (decided to only count what i have actually got in my hand, as i did a survery which which will pay me £3 into paypal but i cant withdraw it till i get to £50 or they charge)
need to get my finger out... have got some more stuff to list on ebay today, got 3 items with 99p bids on and lots of watchers so hopefully they will go up a bit as a few days left.

just wanted to say thank-you for letting me join in and vent and waffle! i really appreciate it as it can be lonely at times on this journey....
thanks again and good luck, Bridget
