Ooohhhhh, Postie's just been. Free toothpaste for a trial, obviously not adding, but every little helps, lol. Also got my bank statement - I dipped into my overdraft 3-4 times last month - saw a bargain on DS1's main present and would have saved money by buying it then, even though I'd get charged the £5 monthly overdraft fee. After that I thought, 'well I'll get charged this month anyway so why not use it'. Turns out that I'd only actually been overdrawn for 1 day (due to money not clearing from my account, so still being counted in the balance), and they haven't charged me for it . Not sure why, most banks would jump at the chance to get some money out of you, but I'm pretty pleased about that and I'm adding the £5 to the challenge, and transferring it to my savings account

Hello everyone,

House of cards your post made me smile. :DI was lurking for ages and then decided to join but I had no idea how to make any extra cash without getting an additional job, but after a few days of head scratching I am pleased to announce that the penny has dropped!!:j

I have earnt £2 already doing surveys and I have made piles of things for ebay I just need to charge my camera!

I would like to ask if I can include savings amde on shpping as well though? I made a list yesterday and put it through my supermarket, checked the 'top' stores and then went to Aldi and saved a fortune £8.47 all together. Do you count this sort of thing normally?

I am definately inspired! So thanks everyone :T
Over and out!

Welcome :wave:

Its up to you if you count it or not- if you can put the money towards debt or savings then I'd say yeah


Still not much money making from me- needed a break from eBay but still busy answering messages on there- may go and get more stock tomorrow although not much variety to sell so it depends on me getting lots of a couple of items.

Is anyone else having problems with the games on sw**bu*ks today. I have played several times. I have tried playing and submitting my score (which usually works for me) and then playing and not submitting my score but still I have not been awarded points for playing.

Everyone is different, I'd only count it if I physically put the £8.47 into savings/used it to pay off a debt/actually physically had it with the rest of my money for this target...I save all my money in a separate savings account and use the lump sum at the end of the month. Sometimes I count £5 Amazon vouchers if I can afford to put £5 from my current account away, if I can't afford to then I won't count it.

Thanks Natterjack88! I think I will count it then . I just don't want to cheat .
My goodness you sound busy on ebay! Hope you manage to restock soon.

Thanks Emmaglet,:) I think you are right I do actually need to put the money aside. I will have a think about the best way to do it.

Just a bit! My fees for December were £500 :eek:

What sites are you already signed up too? Have you tried Swagbucks and Superpoints yet? If not PM me and I can refer you and help get you started, although Fairys thread is also very helpful

I need to concentrate more on decluttering I think thank my buy to sell. My ds has just turned 6 months old so he's gone from being content to need all my attention plus the teething doesn't help.
