    Well, am trying to get the motivation to keep listing on Ebay - fees and postage really do cut into it, eh?! I need to get to £50 in Paypal as then I can transfer it and have that as a postage fund - I read one DFW saying he does this and tops it up whenever he can so it stays at £50. Then anything over that he regards as profit. At the moment it's all over the place and that, as well as the CCCS/DFW budget is making me very confused!!

    I find it slow going with the cashback sites as never buy anything now so just do the click throughs, but it's free money so can't complain too much - I have found Pigsback to be the best though - nearly at £20 voucher - will get JOhn Lewis and ebay I think...

    Anyway, better get back to trying to work out all my figures!!

    Good luck everyone. :)

    added a few quid to my total from my part-time job. Only did one very short consultation last week........so its my fault I only earned a few quid after deductions. Just need to get motivated as the potential is there to earn an awful lot more! So please any ideas to keep me motivated? I work full time and could devote about 10 hours a week to this if I put my mind to it (its varies between 12-15 quid an hour depending what you're asked to speak about).
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    I may finally get round to putting CDs on Amazon - last night I was on the Old Style moneysaving board and found some tips on how to get old glue off the CD cases. The stuff you get on this site! Wonderful....... :)

    hurray! Got £10.50 for a PS2 game on Ebay - just sold :) After fees, postage etc still a tenner to add..will see how much is left and add it to total later.

    Also got sent tesco vouchers again - same ones I sold for 49p, so I've popped them on again - better than nothing I guess! :)

    Have to say, this challenge is really inspiring and the newsletters are just brilliant - thanks WoA!

    Stupidly I typed in royal mail rather than post office and so I thought there wasn't any cashback on post office insurance, so I missed out :mad:

    Never mind, I still saved £111 on last years by getting a cheaper insurer (used moneysupermarket) and £50 cashback from post office which will arrive in 28 days. I am still happy that I saved that much. Also this includes home emergency cover for just £8 over the whole year, which is really good since a lot of insurers (i.e direct line) charge that much per month.

    I answered a couple of surveys during lunch and have reached my payouts for Juicybrains panel and valued opinon panel. I got £5 marks and spencer voucher and amazon voucher on the way.

    So good moneysaving day so far...
