    Hi Everybody,

    Well I have been busy sorting out and doing other things.

    The first thing I have done is look at Tax Credits because I did not think we would qualify. Phoned and went throught he figures and we are eligible for £10.50 per week and they are going to back date it three months. This is something I had never thought of doing until I started to read on this forum about it.

    They lady said we could expect payment about the middle to end of March from when we applied plus the three months back dated amount. I am going to include this in my total because it is something I would not have done or got only for MSN.

    I have also posted some books off to Zapper which come to £11.Also took another load of junk clothes to the recycling place for £24.

    I have also sent the letters off to two credit cards asking for my fees back so will see what happens with that.

    Last one applied for a Santander bank account as you get £200 back so am sorting that out as well.

    So hopefully my total will start to raise very soon.

    morning all!

    February really was a slow month, I did save yesterday - Mr T's are doing half price Whiskas pouches. Usually only buy them when they're on offer, usually 2 for £5, never seen them half price before. Bought four which cost £7.36 in total so I'm claiming £2.64 saved.

    Hubby is contemplating starting selling on e bay so hopefully that will bring in some cash.

    and it worked. Bought jumper,shirt and pj bottoms for £8 (clothing sale) , Months coffee for £12 and weekly food shop for £21.60=£41.60 - £5 voucher. It never usually works so well . Must be all that thinking about it on here:j means my head can add up better whilst also working out best value side sums at same time lol!

    but not adding any of it until I convert it all into cash at the end of the month sloshing around in my big fat bank account;)

    Slightly slower month for me after a bumper Jan
    Surveys: £15
    Cashback: £64
    Freebies/BOGOFFs: £59 (included an other big Body Shop money off trip - but that's it now, I'm stocked up!)
    Money off: £17

    Feb
    ebay £124.84
    survey rewards £77.25
    samples £10.00
    freebies £25.41
    vouchers £16.53
    reward cards £2.58
    cashback £8.15
    comp wins £30.00
    misc £191.00
    Total £485.76

    Did do some Mystery Shops but not credited yet. Thats about it for my eBay sales though and the MISC was due to an insurance being cancelled and getting paid back and a payout for some lost letters so not likely to happen again. Hoping to get some more freebies and vouchers this time, the Mr T 10 off if you spend 3 was brilliant as don't normally shop there.

    Hi everyone

    I have had quite a good month in february

    my car was due for a service and insurance renewal so generally quite expensive BUT I got a quote from my normal car service place for £550+ but went somewhere else and they only charge £168!!!!

    Also saved £100 by changing my insurance.

    Add that to overtime I did and my feb total is £758.78 :j

    Grand total of £1059.54. :j:j:j

    Half way there but the rest I think will be the hardest part

    Forgot to add my £20 from babysitting. Totals updated in signature now. Well done to everyone on their successes.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
    I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/2017
  • I made $86.99 in February with online surveys, paid-to-click, and get-paid-to sites.

    In detail:
    Online surveys - $55.33 (best site was GlobalTestMarket with $11.10)
    PTC/GPT - $31.66 (best site was InboxDollars with $17.45)

    Still a long way to go to reach the challenge.

    And good luck to everyone. Cheers,
