Savvy did you get a referral to Super points? You too Bunbun - I can refer you both if you like.

Had a good day today - went to a local(ish) country park, with OH, DD2 and the dog, and was practically mountain climbing for three hours. Came home and did Wii Just Dance for an hour. I'm going to collapse tonight.

Just had a phone call - whoever said it was all boys lately, hit the nail on the head. My Neice just had a little boy today. Brayden James 7. 11. 4 days overdue. Aren't boys lazy? LOL.

How's everyone's days gone? Plenty of money making going on?

Elysia - Love the name! Love unusual names, nice weight too
Bunbun - I'm trying to reduce ours aswell, can't buy any lower brands than what we already do so it's mainly meal planning here

My ebay bits are in the middle of ending, it wsn't looking too good but everyone are bidding like mad in the last few minutes, should be about £10 away from the £50 so I'll list some more tomorrow. Mums having DD so I can catch up on some sleep, waking up between 4:30 and 6 is really taking its toll Should write some reviews tomorrow aswell but I just don't want to write about anything, I have no inspiration!

Cornish - I know how you feel - feeling a bit demotivated at the mo (is that a word?)

My two ebay items just ended - £35.50 made - plus theres fees to come off, but I have more stuff to list if I get chance tomorrow.

Thanks for the reminders about the new maxi videos, there were quite a few I hadn't done so I got a nice few points there

Elysia - thank you so much for the card, it arrived yesterday. My DH was really impressed that it said Oliver's name on the front!

Evening all.

Must be the day for lots of walking eh? I am worn out from being out nearly 4 hours earlier.

DH is on a rare night out, so I have just written a new review on DY.

jamtart well done on earning so much this month there. I have found it so slow this month. I have been on every day, and put on a review most days, and I am finding it has gone up about £12 so far in January. I did manage £50 per month for a few months last year, but people are not rating back as much. I think I am still rating as much. I am always in the top 5 raters. Impressive that you are managing it.

Right, more reading/rating. I've set myself a target of 300 reviews for the year/25 per month. That one was review 9. The last 3 haven't been too bad, but I definitely used up a lot of motivation in December, which hasn't come back yet.

I done a few review rates earlier but not too much. Need to rectify that tomorrow. £50 is way above what I can make especially when I can't get into ebay selling at all. My stuff just isn't sought after for some reason. I'm fine with just making a yearly amount, I made £60 in total last year but aiming for a bit more this year especially since I'm doing more surveys and things

Brayden is a lovely name, good weight too!
It was lovely for walking today, pretty cold though up here.

I'm all out on the maxi video's so I'm having the swag tv on in the backround as much as possible to up that. Been doing 100 pages of polls on luny the last few days as well along with surveys when they come up

Don't feel under pressure to have to
make the amount on the challenge, just remember anything you do make is less that you have to find at Christmas. I tend to use any money made in the first half of the year on holidays and then the second half on Christmas.
Want to try and clear my next directory account this year, that is my main aim!
Another item sold on eBay, every little helps! Although laptop charger has broken today, had to order a new one, meant to have an exam on weds and all my revision is computer based so dont know what I'm going to do, i might phone on Monday and ask if can move it back a week :-(
