Feeling really fed up. Have just put 10 DVDs into Music Magpie to see that I could a whopping £3 something. All I've had this month is £5 from Opinion Outpost, £4 clubcard vouchers and £0.91 from an ebay sale. I am awaiting £25 from Vivatic but just don't see how I'm going to ever hit the target, let alone by the end of the year. There have been things like multibuy savings and buying reduced meat and freezing it but I would have done that anyway before this challenge so wasn't going to count it. I think at this rate I might have to rethink the things I'm counting towards the challenge because I'm just getting disheartened with it all.

Sorry, just needed a rant. I'm sure things will look up! Well done to everyone who is doing so well!

I felt like that too but this challenge is keeping me motivated and I've started using different opportunities (Superpoints being one) and revisiting money making sites I'd forgotten about (maximiles and mutial points).

With regards to running out of things to sell on ebay - my family and family friends 'donate' things to me, I sell on what is worthwhile and the rest goes to charity shops - certainly worth asking people you know to bear you in mind when they have a clear out.

I also keep an eye on charity shops... Over the years I've found some designer handbags, designer clothes and sought after books that have all made a healthy profit on ebay.

Anyway good luck - you'll see from my total I'm not doing brilliantly but I have a few cashback payments in the pipeline and I'm doing much better than if I wasnt in this challenge.

Every penny counts!

I've had a bumper month on ebay this month, sold an old roof rack and cycle carrier for my old car and did pretty well, also sold some other bits and just transferred £250 out of my paypal account and got £51 in cash when something was collected the night before last Need to do a few sums and remove ebay FVF's before pm-ing my grand total, but really pleased with this months progress!

Also been getting quite a few surveys - not all from VO though.

PS went to the bank today to put in another cheque of £50 from surveys:j

I've PM'd Mennie my February total which was £130.99 :T

A vast improvement on January (£92.45) and am determined to improve month on month.

Did pretty well on Ebay, Superpoints and Topcashback.

March is set up nicely, bag of Ebay goodies on way from family for listing, surveys are arriving thick and fast with cashouts already from Harris Poll, Valued Opinions and close on Surveyhead...

Bring it on... £2012 here I come!

Everyone is doing so well! So much money from surveys, I started doing them again about 6 weeks ago and haven't had any payouts yet but they're creeping closer to the thresholds.

I've just pm'd my total for February £319.80, taking me up to £327.29 so almost making up for January and back on track. About half of that was birthday money though so I don't think I can keep that rate up. I've got a few people wanting things that I'm selling on Facebook so hopefully those will go through next month and I'll get a couple of survey pay outs too.

still on less than £100 but i'm taking it easy having done lots of overtime at work the past month (not paid for until end of march).
