Sorry in advance but I have to have a winge :mad:

I'm feeling mightly P***ed off! I seem to have ground to a halt at just over £300... Ebays going nowhere, neither is amazon, I can't take a part time job because of the stupid hours I work, OH can't seem to get a job, and we've got £50 in the bank to last us til at least the 6th of April. We had a couple of friends drop in on us this weekend, and suddenly the fridge is empty!

I've got about £50 tied up in various survey sites but just as I think I'm getting to the payout target, they either change it (like T&V) or I'm suddenly not eligible for a survey.

Every time I mention the 'M' word, OH just shuts down. I can't get him to see that I'm not blaming him for the fact that I earn most of the money that comes in, and have done since we met, I just want him to stop SPENDING IT! For example, this month, he did the cheque cashing thing because our wages weren't going to clear til Monday and he NEEDED money over the weekend... then most of his wages dribbled out of his wallet and so I have to cover all the bills and the shopping out of MY wages.... I'M SICK OF IT!!!!

Sorry for the long rant but it helps!

Oh poppycracker - how frustrating! I do hope that some of your amazon and ebay items sell soon. I don't know what to suggest about OH - I have enough problems with mine!

I do hope you get some good news soon!

Hi all

been off line for a while first with work crisis then with flu! Just starting to feel back in the land of the living. Made little progress with the challenge - just a £10 cash back cheque to add so my total is £1385.79 - but am going to restart matched betting very soon to try to make up lost time (thought it best not to try to do it with a foggy brain!).

Hi Mizmir, hope you are feeling better soon. I had the lurgy too last week and simply had no energy, but the spring weather has got me back on track.

Nothing on ebay now so need to be a little more proactive in that department, but I do have 180 lovely English pounds tracked on quidco, although it won't be paid until April or May and I don't count it in my challenge total until it is in my sticky little mitts!

So, when things are stalling towards the end of the challenge, Quidco may be my redeemer!!

I have also got £3 referral cash back to add in plus £7.40 for mystery shopping so a quiet time for actual totals, but the work continues!!!

Keep going everyone x

eBay had been really slow for me, had quite a few items which only sold for a couple of quid, hardly worth posting after paying postage, listing fees and walking all the way to the Post Office tbh. Also had several items which didn't sell.

But then I had an email asking about one of the items which didn't sell. I was offered £90 for it, I had listed it for £100 and it didn't sell, so I was very happy to accept that.

Just goes to show, eBay has peaks and troughs, so if you feel disheartened by poor sales, keep at it!
