    Just caught up Emz as I have been mega busy with work that I haven't been able to get on much.

    You are doing fantastically well and very organised which I believe makes a HUGE difference

    Thanks DF :).

    I'm well behind. I should be up to 244 by now and I'm only on 220. To be honest, if I get to 300 by the time I go home at 6pm (currently at my mum's), then I'll be satisfied.

    Thanks Aamberle :)

    I reached my target in the end yesterday. However, I don't think I'm going to be able to keep this up for however many months I'm going to have to do it for. I need a bit of variety.

    So, I'm going to stick to 100 questions a day. That is doable without going potty. 17 days of 100 questions a day is £510. I wanted to get £850, so I need to earn £340 from other methods. I've got a couple of MS jobs lined up (£20), so will see what else I can get sorted today.

    Received my free tin of tuna to test yesterday - I think that's the oddest thing I've been sent to test. Anyone else had anything weirder?

    Hi Emz,
    Have you had a look at the 1% board. MissUniDebt has very kindly listed 100 ways of making money which may have something in there you've not currently thought of? Worth a look. It's the second post in there.

    Here's the link to that list:

    There's an interesting thread on Textbroker on the Up Your Income board at the moment. Might be worth a look, as you write well.

    Think I'm going to have a look at siging up - someone on the £10 a day challenge seems to be doing very well from it :)

    Thanks Beccie, I saw that and will have to take a closer look at it.

    Just got another MS job for £10, so only £310 left to find. Also redeemed for £5 bingo credit. Didn't win with the £5 from last week, but going to try and get £5 a day this week and see if I can get anything from that.
