    Declaring at £249.45/£310 which is a little disappointing, but having said that, its a lot more than I would have had without this thread!!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
  • Declaring £497.93 as my final total for january. Helped along by bonus, cash back and barclays PPI.

    Lets hope I get there this month too - would love it to be boosted by our Lloyds PPI but I'm not holding out much hope. :rotfl:

    Declaring January at £297.56 / £310.

    Think it's the first time since starting the challenge that I haven't made target, but it's also the first month that this wouldn't disappoint me, as what with having a baby half way through the month, there has obviously been a lot less time for month making, and as I'm on mat leave from work I haven't been able to put myself down for any overtime etc, and didn't really take on many mystery shops over Christmas and Jan as I was so pregnant and could have popped any day and wouldn't have been able to keep any commitments. They usually account for a fair amount of my extra, so I'm really pleased I did so well without them.
    Think it helps there was a lot of casino bonuses from bookies websites I've got accounts with, and I got lucky on a few risk free offers.

    Anyway, enough rambling because there's probably no one left reading January anyway!! :D

    Can't believe we are into February already... :eek:

    Well done to everyone and how they did in January. Whether you reached your target or not, you still deserve a WOOOOO-HOOOOOOOO for trying. Only a big fat zero happens when you don't try. :)

    ---

    I have a further £5.03 to add (blog commenting: £4.06; Cashle: £0.89; misc: £0.08), bringing my total to £207.81.

    It's inspiring to see how much we've earned collectively, so well done us :T.

    Have a great February, all. Mmmmmmmmwah!!!

    I AM BRAVE. I JUST DON'T KNOW IT....YET. :)
