  • Hi! Can I play too?

    Yesterday I redeemed a £10 voucher from Valued Opinions, which I did not realise I had in my account. I also did two more surveys worth £1.50, although only one is pending at the moment. I'll only count the money when it's in my hand.

    I'm also up to £38.35 on Onepoll, but according to another thread on here, I may struggle to get to the £40 threshold to redeem the money.

    With surveys, I go through fits and starts of doing them, then leaving them alone for weeks/months.

    I also used to do Pureprofile, but I haven't looked at that account recently.

    On my eBay account I have over twenty items for sale with starting prices altogether of over £700! Unfortunately most are my husbands golf clubs, and he will reuse the sales money (plus more!) to buy more!

    My eBay items, if they sell at their starting prices, should net me about £50. I do have tonnes more stuff to eBay, and my aim is to find, photograph and list one item a day. Unfortunately they are all low value (compared to golf clubs!)

    Good luck everyone!

    How have you managed to get that much?! I have been using onepoll for more than a year and only have a tenner!! :(
    2019 will be my year!!
  • Can I take part too please?

    I've lurked for far too long in this place and this one seems almost do-able!

    I'll be doing:

    surveys
    overtime
    comp-ing
    selling on ebay (as soon as i can figure out how to work it :S any help welcome!)

    i'm also going to attempt to look for part time work

    As i don't want to put anyone out, i've made my own spreadsheet and broken it down into daily and monthly so it seems more achieveable, totally up where the money has come from

    My big question is - how many of you are putting the extra 'money' in a pot or separate bank account so that you actually will have £2012 in your grubby little hand at the end of the year...

    I've set up an e-savings account for all my money to go into. Not sure what I'll do with the money at the end of the year, but a lot can happen in a year and we may very well be thankful of it by then!

    Quite a few items ended on ebay yesterday and today so after packing about 50 items tonight I'll be off to the post office tomorrow. I'll add the final figures after I have calculated all the final postage costs but it's given me a healthy start! :T

    Meanie - do you keep track of what you have entered? I've only really started doing it properly last week but don't usually have much luck!

    I've entered about 60 already and off to do some more in a minute.

    For those that have requested the spreadsheet you should find it landing in your inbox shortly

    I track them using the yellow ducks on loquax:p

    These days you can just transfer it into your bank account without fees.
    I've just transfered a bit of money that was in my paypal account from survey earnings and redeemed a couple of other surveys earnings. Not a huge amount but it'll help towards needing to unexpectly buy a new car :(

    £5 amazon voucher came through from swagbucks yesterday, and spent the last few days entering competitions instead of playing games, hit over 1000 entries this morning, so hopefull that will get me a few things.

    Got my deoderant and lip balm half price yesterday( still expensive but products I know work and I can use on my skin) so that was £5.51 saved.

    Also got new sets of undies for £8. Not sure how much to put down as saved on these.... original retail value comes in at £56, but I would never of paid that much.... then again £8 was a real bargain, I would of expected to pay £13 more than I did... What do people think I should put down?
    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions

    I've joined up to some survey sites, so far I've earned a couple of pence. I also noticed on my YouGov the other day that I'm 200 points off getting the £50 (only took a few years!)

    I'm on holiday from work at the minute, so I've got loads of time to kill. Will also be having a massive eBay clearout next week when the OH is watching the football.

    Don't know if anyone's interested, but itv Daybreak are running a competition to win £2012 every month for a year at the moment. Answer is A.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
