Hi everyone :hello:
I didn't get chance to check the thread yesterday at all and can't believe how fast it's moved! It's just taken me ages to catch up!
All the newbies have been added to post 2, if I've missed anyone give me a shout
Had some more eBay items end yesterday, will be re listing the rest this afternoon
Also still got some items on there.
Also, pleased to announce my first ever road kill... 1p!
I realised how old I am getting however when I bent down to pick it up and a group on teenagers chuckled at me and I thought - get stuffed it's going in my pot! Thought to myself... I would have never bent down to pick up money openly when I was younger lol.
7 day count down for me for the Great North Run next Sunday now :eeek: My Manager has told me to take my sponsor form in tomorrow, always make me right embarrassed doing anything like that so I'm thinking of putting it on her desk with a post it note on
Enjoy the rest of your weekend people

I have £2.19 to add from the fb sale I made yesterday. I'm waiting on 4 payments for ebay items and a few more are ending today so maybe later I'll have some more to add.
I've been doing various surveys, but on valuedopinions I can't seem to get past £1, I get screened out of every survey I take. I might give up with it but I see some of you are getting paid so I'm not sure!Oct £10 a day challenge £225.19/£310Sept £10 a day challenge: £272.13/£300Debt £1951.97/£21540 -

I've done a few of the surveys on my opinion but don't seem to be getting those that are rewarded - is there any trick to it or is it just luck?

Hello!
To add so far this month:
£4.00 p1nec0ne
£10 from selling a baby gym on FB
£150 from extra work.
Not a bad start and more bits and pieces coming in.
I've finally closed my shop&scan account & various other bits and pieces that were getting me a few £'s a year but taking up lots of time and have used this time to do more freelance work - and it's definitely paid off. Not that they weren't useful at the time but I've followed this challenge online & off for a few years and its all about working out what works out better for you.
People definitely seem to have worked it out this month! Great results already!MSE-ing since 20070 -
A few bits to add from the last few days.
£4 luncheon vouchers,£5 love to shop vouchers,£20 Arg*s vouchers,£2 Am*zon Vouchers and ££.92 from an Am*zon sale.
Up to £65.12. which is nearly as much as I made all last month. Some e-b*y sales ending later as well.
Decided that if I spent less time lurking on here and more time listing stuff the total would be a LOT better.:eek:.ilovetea xxMake £2026 in 2026
