    7 days left of May :eek:
    Yet another month has almost just flown past our eyes again, can you believe we're halfway through the year already.
    It's my Aunts birthday this week, and I was doing some sorting in the spare room yesterday and found a bag of cards, mostly just generic ones we try and have in for those birthdays we inevitably forget, so have a stash of 7 for £1 Card Factory ones in!! :D:o But I also found a really sweet Me To You bear Auntie one, which I remember finding in a carrier bag in Tesco car par once, but aaaages ago - so have probably forgotten I had it for her last couple of birthdays! She can have it this year though, and some re-gifted smellies from the present box :money: So I'm going to pay a fiver off the CC as that's probably about what I'd have ended up paying for a card and some chocs/smellies/flowers or something for her.
    Also adding £10 in from MSing.
    Also had £50 into the bank from PayPal, not adding to the challenge as would already have been added as Ebay profits, but means today another £65 gets knocked off the CC. :cool:

    Payday!...so £45 on call to add.

    Looking forward to work being over as I'm out for drinks tonight (well taking a bottle of wine I already have to a friends house - very MSE)! and then a family BBQ tomorrow. Making the most of the good weather!

    Just had an email from Ebay about Free Listing Weekend this weekend - but this time it's Fixed Price listings. So that's Buy It Now things, right??

    Purina online trial, find it in the freebies board and tesco home panels, I'm getting loads from them at the mo :D

    Thanks Nat, found it or something similar anyway when I flicked through the Sainsburys free magazine a few mins after I posted - signed up to some 3 week challenge which gives me some money off coupons, and have requested a 50g sample :)

    £54 to add from another MS payment. This companies money always seems to go in at a random time during the day, so wasn't there when I checked this morning - nice surprise especially when I forget I'm expecting it :D
    Will round up to £55 and that can go straight off the CC as well - so that's £100 paid off it today from extra monies thanks to this. (Well, it will be if the Barclaycard website wants to work!! )

    Well done Monkeynut. Do you have any suggestions for those of us who are not quite at target yet?

    Just not to be disheartened about it, and look at all the extra that you do have, even if you're not at target.
    I've been doing this challenge for a long time now, so have lots of avenues etc for money making, which I'm used to now so can often cash out quicker etc.
    Swagbucks for example, my first £5 voucher took me over a month to get, now I get about 3 a month, and I know I could get more if I put more time into it.

    I struggled often to make even the £5 a day target I used to set myself when I first started joining in with the challenge.
    Well and truely addicted to it now though :D

    Thanks Monkeynut :T, this is the first month I've been this far away from target with only a week to go, and I was feeling a bit :( about it, but looking at it the other way what I have made is a heck of a lot more than I would've done without this thread.

    £1.18 to add today for free milk from job 1 that I would have bought anyway.
