    I'm still on £613.64, which is frankly, pants!

    Don't be so hard on yourself! Still £613.64 more than you would have had without the effort. I think that is a great amount :) :beer: Even if you hit half or less this year that is still a lovely amount of month, over £50 a month on average! x

  • I haven't checked in for so long! To be honest, I have lost track of where I am really. So many unexpected expenses came along and we are only just now starting to get ourselves ready for saving again.

    I got £345 in my pay packet on Friday from the competition.
    Spent £1.63 of Play.com points

    Total to date = £807.94

    Oh and I complained about a bar on twitter last weekend and they sent someone to track us down and handed me £60 in cash to buy a round of drinks with! Can't claim that as my personal earnings really though (and we did spend it on drinks) so although that's not counted I was still pretty chuffed!
  • I have had a good catch up month but still lagging way behind the 2013 target.

    This month I have added £23+£28+£7+£22 in my annual insurance referral reviews through Quidco and shaved another£182 off al the renewals, so adds another £261 to my total taking me up to £989 for the year so far.....I know it is much better than not trying but I need to do more. I think a car boot sale and en ebay purge may be called for... Good luck to you all.

    Hi,

    I made £145 this month. Not as well as I had hoped for, but better than nothing.

    Nothing sells for me on ebay anymore, but I did manage to get rid of a few things on gumtree.

    Hope you are still doing well.

    I have now made £4043 since March! Expecting another £630 already for September but never count it until it has arrived. The full £630 is going on bills/savings but I don't care, still money I have earned :) (Sort of).
