I have been lurking around on these boards for some time -- knowing I need something to spur me into better financial shape and trying to decide which challenges to join.
Hope you don't mind me posting here half way through the month -- or that I've not set a daily target -- or if I've not set up a sig -- or if I report things that have not yet paid out -- but I thought I'd work better if I started sharing what I'm doing with you amazing people on here.
So far this month I have £114 tracking through TCB, saved £15 with a voucher on an Ocado shop, found £1.69 on the pavement and ordered £15 in JS vouchers from my credit card. I have listed a couple of items on Eb*y (more to follow -- no bids yet on those two) and joined (but yet to participate in) a number of survey sites. It's all very much work in progress so far but I'm thinking of setting a £5 per day target for next month.
Any tips on the best sites to start me off would be greatly appreciated.

No bids on Eb*y (items finish tomorrow)

Ten writing assignments to complete ($16 each)

Still waiting for £15 JS vouchers
Loads of stuff found to list on Eb*y

I never print the recipes, I click on print, and my printer comes up, but I never click print on my printer and always get my 10 points credit.0 -
Well the singing seemed to work last time as shortly after people started getting some luck on the Bingo, and various claims etc that got sorted.
And there's been even more singing this time - so which one of us is going to win the lottery?!?Erm, and can we all remember who started off the lucky sing song if we happen to win the lottery tonight:rotfl:
Thank you all I got 4 numbers!! Not quite the millions, or even thousands, I was hoping for but 1st time its ever been more than a tenner that I've won (Though I don't know how much yet - watch this be the first time its ever been £11:rotfl::rotfl:) Will update total when I know how much it is.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31.
