    Corr, I think we lost a few people already. Only 22 members submitted totals for April. Yep, I'm that bored today, it's absolutely peeing it down outside and hasn't stopped all day.

    I'm doing ok (see signature)

    Overtime has probably dried up for the time being.
    Surveys are slow and steady
    Doing better with superpoints/swagbucks/gifthulk websites
    Affiliates - bumped them all off bar one that I know definitely pays out
    Adsense account is up at £50 so nearly at payout

    Not much to add apart from shouting to everyone to

    Come and join in the chat etc

    Hi all

    Just saved £200 on my car insurance! BUT I won't be adding it to my totals as I always shop around and only went with the old insurer as they had a special deal on - once that finished the prices went right up! I really can't believe that people just don't bother to check out other prices - it's so much easier now with the comparison websites - I remember back in the day when you had to phone around and give your details about 10 times!

    Keep going everyone!

    is anyone else at the point where spending free points( clubcard/surveys/credit card rewards/bill swap bribes) is feeling like real money and it hurts to waste a penny. :beer:

    OH birthday so far consists of £20 present free from Dwell, £40 aftershave reduced to £35 and then paid for with gift certs obtained for free, a train trip with a family railcard, free museum, meal with tesco club rewards, and still looking for a deal on the cinema. tis a crazy world. anyone know of cheap sat night odeon tickets?
    desperately climbing out of last months overdraft, whilst basking in the glow of my £2012, and next month I am considering a few different challenges- like carpet the house in amazon vouchers, or start saving activities for summer hols, or even stocks and shares, or paying the mortgage off. Oooh laa laa, who would of thought in January where this challenge would lead.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Was beginning to worry I may not earn anything this month, but just had a text about a couple of school pickups this week as well as babysitting on one of the nights, so hopefully I'll be able to put something in for May. At the moment it seems to be that I'm spending a lot more than actually saving, as we're buying stuff for the baby.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I claimed $15 from Superpoints this week (approx £9).

    Slow and steady does it Babnie, it's a year long challenge :)
