    I haven't posted in a while, house selling frustrations sent me off the ebaying wagon at the start of Feb but going to try and get back into it in April.

    I've been pottering along with things like picking up coins I find when out and about, got some Quidco cashback and a few other bits and bobs, will try and list and my Feb and March totals tonight as I've kept my spreadsheet up to date.

    Glad others are doing a bit better than me!

    Haven't posted on here in a while, but my total for the year is now up to £355.47 - not as high as I would like, but have now got more overtime for the next couple of months which will help out and have listed items for sale on local for sale site.

    Hi all, haven't posted in a while and haven't been the most productive in March but I did have a very lucky accumulator bet on Day 1 of Cheltenham! I'm not a gambler at all, I just picked my fave horses out of the paper for fun with my Dad and he said the first four had a good chance and I should do a 'Yankee' (?!) so I did about a £7 bet and three of the four won :D Quickly withdrew the money and closed the betting account!! Here's my summary for March:

    £382.11 - horse winnings
    £ 80.00 - regular monthly savings
    £ 52.93 - ebay sales
    £ 12.75 - languishing in my paypal account (!)
    £ 1.50 - languishing in an old National Lottery account, now closed
    £ 2.82 - languishing in an old Ciao account, paid out for some reason
    £ 48.00 - expenses for work trip (hadn't missed it so saved it)
    £ 2.64 - interest on savings
    £ 5.00 - Amazon - redeemed the £5 voucher I got for trading games in (counted in Feb) and it took £10 off my order! :)

    Total for March: £587.75 - woohoo! Unfortunately my laptop also died this month so that's where my winnings will be going, but I'm still counting it as it's an expense that isn't really hitting me if you see what I mean. Best of luck for April everyone, hopefully I'll be able to find the time to keep up this month!

    £923.05 down, £1,088.95 to go!

    Hi all,

    Is it to late to join in with the thread? I have been lurking outside the forum as a MSE guest and been following every step of your way. I've also been making money myself but unsure I will get down to the £2,012 mark but we'll see.

    So far I have made £102 from Mazuma, £90 from DLA (Disability Living Allowances - does that count?) and £4.97 from eBay selling making a total of £196.97!

    Well, my march total is £215. £199 from doing typing for my boss, and £16 from surveys. I cashed out £12 from one company but can't remember who it was, I know they said it would take up to 6 wks for payment and I had to provide my bank's BICS code which was a nightmare to get. The call centre tried telling me it was on my paper statements despite me saying that I didn't get paper statements, then they told me that no company would just ask for the BICS code, was I sure it wasn't a scam. Even after I explained everything and assured them that it was genuine etc the guy on the end of the phone (who was quite rude) basically told me I was being ridiculous as either I was reading the information wrong or I was being scammed. I better get the money after all this!!! (note to self, check internet history at work to find out which company it was!!). And £4 from a Pinecone survey.

    I just wish my little superpoint network people used the site. I go on it daily, but my 5 friends seem virtually inactive. I occasionally get 1/2 points from them but other than that nothing! I want to get to 25000 pts so I can replace my broken e-reader, I refuse to buy one so have to somehow fund it by doing surveys and reward sites.
