Hi all,
Well I've set myself the challenge of making an extra £400 this month (well, 20th Aug- 20th Sep), and thought I would get myself a little thread so I'm keeping track of it (and don't just forget about it!).
So far -
Well I've set myself the challenge of making an extra £400 this month (well, 20th Aug- 20th Sep), and thought I would get myself a little thread so I'm keeping track of it (and don't just forget about it!).
So far -
- £86.67 eBay sales (although some yet to come out in fees)
- £8 FieldAgent tasks - I've just found this and love it, although Hubster says it's pointless :mad:
- Signed up to iWriter and a few similar sites, and have been commissioned to write an educational article
- Have some tutor work lined up (I'm a teacher by day), but not sure it'll start before my Sep 20th deadline!
- £42.76 selling old textbooks to Fatbrain!

Another FA job tonight - I love this app! Only £2, but every penny counts lol!
Sunday will be a good day to fully update, as my listings end then.
I've also joined a website to rate other websites and will be doing as much of that as poss. So far I've only met a few of the testing criteria, and by the time I was able to do the test they had been completed, but still hopeful!Fritterati Challenge for 2013:

Same total this week unfortunately... nothing on FA, and not really anything left to sell on e*ay! Got a couple of listings ending next weekend, but will be trying to get more website testing jobs to up my total.
Onwards and upwards!Fritterati Challenge for 2013:

Oh well, so much for the £400! I was also very (too) optimistic with my savings this month, so I'll have to transfer some back to dig out of my overdraft! Ooops!
Anyway, a couple of small sales online. Current total is £207... still $20 to go into the paypal from website testing, but to be honest there's nothing left to sell!Fritterati Challenge for 2013:

Thanks Beanie and Rainbow - I had almost forgotten about my diary in the chaos of day to day life!! Even though today's the 22nd, I actually have a few FA jobs to do - maybe about £12/15, so I might add that to the total lol!
I was actually aiming for extra income for a new car, but saw a little cracker last weekend so we put it on the CC to clear with our savings!
Off to update my sig!Fritterati Challenge for 2013:
