income is bit slow for me but will get a boost when paid end of feb due to all overtime i've been doing

Managed to do an Ocado shop for next week using the £20 off your first order although some items were more expensive there was still a good saving to be had. I was hoping I could also use my £30 John Lewis vouchers against it as well (which I got free with a £1 subscription to Which) but Ocado has stopped taking them on the 1st Feb!:mad:

Up to £619.45 now, and with post-Christmas clubcard points turning up there is £54 waiting for me to shift vouchers over to savings (I spend the vouchers, then save what I would have spent) and £22.98 in transit through the banking system so almost up to the £700 mark. Need to have a good ebay session soon, as stuff is piling up and I just need to get on and list it.

Well done to all for some great progress too

Great to use it for first time shopping with a big voucher but if you look back you will see I spent around £12 more using Ocado than Tesco for the same items :eek:!! I'd only use them when special offers are on.

Really going to list a few items on ebay when kids in bed with 10 day listing as I hope to get a decent amount for them (fingers crossed).

:T Pretty decent start to February, I am at £95 which is more than I earnt in January and am awaiting a few more cheques and vouchers to come in...

Ebay profit this month at £70 already, small cheque from Music Magpie for £6+ for CDs that wouldnt budge on ebay, awaiting payment for Mystery Shopping and my first Superpoints pay out - only took me 5 days from joining and well on my way to my next.

Only managed £2 from Tesco vouchers this quarter but that's probably because I prefer to shop in Aldi, managed 3 half price Graze boxes this months so that's a £5.37 saving (will cancel after offer) not to forget my free CD I chose with my Maximiles points...

Have joined up for a few more cashback and survey sites and stepped the pace up on a few I'd forgotten about so should have a few more cashouts than normal over the next few months.

Only one gripe, loving this challenge and its brought me to use the MSE forum much more and have exchanged ideas publicly and by PM with other challenge/forum members but I do find some of the 'old timers' can be quite hostile... Tried posting a Superpoints link where if used would award the new member 25 points, a good start towards payout and it was deleted... I was being genuinely friendly, offer the bonus out - it only lasts 48 hours so if anyone does want it you know where I am! Is there any need for the hostility though, that's why I stopped using MSE last time.

Keep up the good work fellow challengers! :beer:

All I have to do is look at this forum and I get motivated again, just added an extra 2 items on eBay now. I just wondered if there is a guide or anything that shows websites you can make money on for other things - I'm not familiar with mystery shopping and cashback websites or anything like that.

This thread gives you a lot of good sites to join just by reading other peoples posts etc. Also the referrers board is a good one to sift through... You'll always get advice on what sites are best.

£12 cashback and £6 bank interest pays for gelato's whilst watching the gondola's!

re not knowing about cashback- its great read the guide on the main site and on you go, not had any problems with it, although im sure a well known household name company has just moved their payment date back by 3 months.

Just listed 2 items on ebay so did what I said I would :T:T! Can you tell I'm not keen on listing stuff?!

Just off to join the ebay challenge too so I can keep going.
