    I am now accepting PM's for your January totals to be added to the spreadsheet.

    PM's only
  • my january total is £110 after selling a few bits and bobs on Ebay (it would have been more but the january sales were so tempting)

    putting the money in a bank account my partner was made to open when he started his new job, it never gets used and he has strict instructions not to let me have it untill the new year.

    I've just finalised my January total and it's a whopping £517.27 - I'm so pleased! :j

    I have to say I've been very lucky this month. I had an unexpected tax rebate which really, really helped. I've also sold a few items on Gumtree and Preloved, I've completely avoided Ebay, but I'll never reach my target if I don't start to put things on there. I've also earned a few vouchers from product testing, so a good month for me.

    Total saved so far is £260.

    Earnings:
    eBay - £18.61 (with some other items listed that will go towards Feb total if sold)
    Valued Opinions - £10 Amazon (some of that was built up last year but only had enough to claim this month)
    Swagbucks - £10 Amazon (with £5 Amazon on order to go towards next month)
    Cashback - £29.70 Amazon (again, some from last year with hopefully more to come next month)
    Shop and Scan - £10 Amazon
    Tesco money off voucher - £0.08!!

    Total earnings: £78.39

    I don't think I will hit the target for earnings but it's giving me something to work towards.

    I've used Valued opinions before but the thing thats put me off using it again is that I would be turned down for most of the surveys, which would have been fine but it would let me get almost half way through the surveys before it decided that I wasnt suitable. Very annoying, plus I found a few times that the time it estimated the survey would take was way off. A 10 minute survey took me over half an hour :mad:

    Does it say reward pending or something like that? I had to wait a week for one of my surveys to be credited but I got it in the end. Hope this helps

    Luckily it tells me if i'm not qualified for the survey within 5 minutes. I've managed to check my history today (still new to it) and it says 1 is pending and 2 "have started" which makes me think they haven't submitted. Either way i'm not holding out much hope. I find survey sites rather annoying after a while. I much prefer buying and selling things on. I have a habit of stumbling into things about 70% off and selling them at 100% profit :D I think i might just do that haha.

    Thank you for your help hayley!

    I was asked to work another 'keeping in touch' day earlier due to short staff. I worked 3.5hrs and earned £21.67 woo! :rotfl:
