    :j Wow! We're doing really well! :j

    So far this month I've banked the following cash...

    Ebay 30.80
    Superpoints 3.08
    Music Magpie 3.00
    Topcashback 4.52
    Swagbucks 6.15

    The Music Magpie cheque was for CDs I couldnt sell on eBay, not much but better than nowt!

    April shaping up well, got some things ending on eBay over weekend, lots other stuff to list, done 3 mystery shops, promo work and awaiting another Superpoints cashout plus about to cashout again! Oh and I should be getting some vouchers from NPower for an electricity tarif change with them! :D

    I can honestly say this challenge has kept me motivated - thanks Mennie!

    Going to see what else I can list on ebay over the next few days.

    March was a good month for me i made/saved £285, so much better than February where i only managed £95.

    I even managed to sell a few things on Gumtree which i am really happy with.

    Happy Easter to everyone.

    Better start to this month.... another £3 luncheon vouchers, 3.79 at sainsburys with brand match and 6 pounds on half price easter eggs.

    All of us are clubbing together for a meal tomorrow, so although it has cost me £4 I'm getting a three course meal :D much cheaper than if we'd gone out for a meal. I guess that's another £10 saved.
    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions

    My dire March total was £49.30! Haven't updated here for a while as hadn't kept my spreadsheet up to date... but for April I'm going to make more of an effort.

    I'm off to a good start this month anyway - have received £240 vouchers from SSM mission control on facebook which I totally wasn't expecting to receive so a bit shocked!!!
    Also sold something for £5 on ebay at the weekend.
    & £19.17 profit from a matched bet :)
    So my total so far this month is well over the £200 mark already.

    Hey fritha :) I feel bad on Superpoints cos you've missed out on tons of points from me (trish) as you're not a gold member yet. Fingers crossed you get a referral who levels up to basic level for you :)

    Thanks for the referral bucks through Swagbucks :) have you joined us on the Swagbuck challenge thread ? It's quite motivating and lots of help on there

    :T3 months gone already and arent we all doing fab!:T
    Im doing a stock take of what's working and what to try next.
    Great : credit card rewards, surveys, bill swapping, cashback-£245 pending
    Ebay and Amazon- pain in butt lol, and making pennies, but love clearing out the junk so will plod on.
    Using food and DIY storecupboard to make do and use whats there rather than go and shop.
    January sales present cupboard- brill
    All the toiletries in the house shelf- even more brill lol- we are starting to finish the half empty collection and will be opening the christmas presents soon.

    SO what to try next??? Ive been lurking around and looking for some ideas. Will try these, but suggest any more you can think of.
    1.a survey a day
    2. one week a month eat out of storecupboard
    3. sell old mobiles
    4. bulky stuff onto ebay
    5. Investigate this bingo/ swag watnots

    So sorry I haven't updated for a while guys, but I've had a rubbish week money wise!

    I've had to renew my passport & driving licence which has cost almost £100! Also accidently transferred money from my bank account to the wrong savings account - and now I can't get it back until after the bank holiday gggrrr. Means I've had to transfer yet more money from my isa to cover me until I get it back.

    On a more positive note, I have overtime with work tomorrow (they've not had any for a few months as there's been a block on it, so this is a welcome relief!) and I managed to cash in another £5 Amazon voucher on SB's yesterday.

    Will DEFINITELY get some stuff on e-bay while its quiet in work today.

    Happy Easter!
