This is a fascinating thread and one I will pop by regularly - you are all an inspiration. Ive tiptoed in and out of online surveys, just got a bit disilluisioned when, after spending precious time, I then get a "not suitable" kind of message. I kind of leave ebay to my husband, but I do like car boot sales and have had a few fairly successful ones selling freebies and some home crafted items. Sadly I lost my eldest daughter two years ago and I have often felt disabled by grief. My concentration, well not just that, everything really, is difficult to gain control of, I feel like I must have left my life-mojo somewhere with no forwarding address. I get on my own nerves most of the time and desperate to find a new distraction so that I can start to move forward.
Financially we are one of those families where by the skin of our teeth we get through - just. Lots of "Peter and Paul" going on, going without, cutting back, "waiting", the dread when something important breaks down (as I type Washing machine (8 yrs old) is on last legs, freezer leaks, oven door needs replacing, car bills and so it goes on...)
Am feeling newly inspired by you guys and that's a fact!
Haven't been able to go back to work yet, not sure Im ready for that yet, Im not the woman I was. My husband is self employed fixing computers and this last year has been very difficult, people want him to diagnose/fix for nothing! Will just have to wait and see.
Am really into couponning and I will always try not to pay retail for anything without checking out discounts/voucher options first and that does save some money. Hand on heart I can honestly say that sometimes couponning has saved my sanity - it has given me something to focus on when all around me is crumbling.
am going to now spend some time this evening planning how I can possibly make £10 a day for the rest of the month. How exiting if I can pull it off.
Thanks for reading and wishing you all gentle and successful days.

So disillusioned this month! not doing well at all, the first 2 months of doing this challenge i done really well, even in the 2nd month without ebay, but even though i am still busy doing ms, major bit of my money, wont be coming until dec, grrr! ms work seems to be drying up a bit, i'm going to put a jacket on gumtree, as my ebay account is stil blocked.
Anyone have experience of selling clothes on gumtree?
Heyho, i wont be giving up and i know in december ii will definately be increasing my target to £15 a day, but until then i have some thinking to do, had given up on vivatic, since they increased the payout to £25 but i have had a total of 8 emails off them saying there are surveys, i have had 3 £10 payouts from them since starting beg of aug, so i am thinking to go back to them again and see what happens within a month?Lose 28lb 3/28lb

Hello everyone.
Used some APG vouchers today, 32p and 34p - all those pennies will become pounds!
Also got called in to work on Wed eve, after working all day I then did 9 hours overnight too! - majorly tiring but will get me a nice bundle towards my November challenge......
Have a nice weekend everyone - me and hubby are off to London to celebrate out anniversary - got some vouchers at the ready so hopefully won't spend too much!0
