  • Just spent ages listing my ebay stuff. I find it so tedious! But thats 12 games some headphones and a galaxy tab listed now, should bring in about £200 if I'm lucky.

    Got a pile of books and dvd's which need to go on zapper/webuybooks/musicmagpie so that will keep me busy for he rest of the day!

    So far got a £20 Amazon voucher, £100 I saved away to start with, £15.95 from TCB, £59 for a first aid course I did, £7.50 profit from Gala Bingo and £14.42 cashback from Amex, a grand total of £216.87!

    Going to do some matched betting to boost my totals too, but it takes a while to get the return as you end up with half your money in betfair!
  • Hi All, hope everyone has had a great week so far! Mine has been pretty good – I did start the week off quite ill. But the finish wasn’t bad at all :). Have three design enquiries (they are all definite) for projects so that will be more money in the kitty. I went to a party/networking event and have been invited to take part in a project which could be really good in the long term finance wise.


    Almost all the coding for my new shops and website is done which is also brilliant. The day job gave me a bonus of £145; which has been added to my signature. Also got a google ads cheque to pay in tomorrow.
    Sewing machine is packaged up and ready to be sent away with the courier. So, it has been a really lovely week. The only other thing I have to do is update my spending diary for this week. Onwards, here’s to another money making week – good luck everyone!

  • Hello all, been a really busy day so far and happy to say that there is more work coming in! Obviously, I know everyone is not only up for moneymaking but I spotted a chance to get treats and save money at the same time. I love the cinema, but I am limiting myself to how much I can go I found First4movies– you can go to free cinema screenings. It is a first come first served thing, but the chance of free films is always nice.
    Other than that, just going to buy a workout video – I don’t want to buy a playstation yet, I want to wait until my finances are much healthier so the cheap and cheerful option is a workout DVD, and since last year I have been promising to start running – so that is saving money on Gym membership.
    Monthly bulk buy of shopping is done with all meals prepared and refrigerated to save money!

  • Hello :) good to see everyone is making some kind of progress! Ive counted the change in the pot and to my surprise there was over £5 in there! Ive also started a spreadsheet today to tally up the money im making on a daily basis, and im genuinely surprised by just how quickly its all adding up :D I have gone back on to day shifts at work which means breakfast and lunch are provided,thus cutting down the food shopping,and it will be cheaper getting to work as i wont have to buy an open return as i'll be going to/from work on the same day.

    Got my free case of virgin wine today,not sure what to do with 12 bottles of plonk as im not allowed to drink atm...if i could sell it i would, ha ha! :D
    ;)
