  • Not updated my total on here since July :( Had a couple of excellent months since then :) Slowly getting towards the target :)
    August:

    This came mainly from Ipsos, Toluna and Valued Opinions plus my nan gave me £250 towards my holiday (she wouldn't let me refuse it!!!)

    September:
    £281 Total = £1471

    This month I cashed out on Toluna, iPoll, iSurvey, Opinion World and Global Test Market plus it was my Birthday and I got £170 birthday money. I also won 7 prizes this month so it's been a great month for me especially as I was on holiday for 2 weeks of it :D

    I completed this challenge a couple of months ago, hope I am down somewhere as being completed! I am currently on £7000 or so!! :D Exceptional year for me, especially considering I started in March and I've been ill on and off all year :D

    I took my total off as I was worried about nosy friends seeing it :D

  • Hi Cally,

    Sorry I haven't been keeping the spreadsheet updated :( My total for the year stands at £1010 so far. Still hoping to earn more though.

    Thanks

    I have utterly lost track, really must do my finances. Suffice to say that £2013 is not looking likely.

  • I am afraid I have no idea where I am with my total anymore. Due to redundancy and financial difficulties, everytime I made some money towards the challenge I then had to use it on something else again. I have probably made about £150 since I last updated.

    This makes 908.65

    Definitely not going to make it this year but hopefully next year will be a lot better - I am currently setting up working from home plus all outstanding debts to family and friends should be cleared - plus my sons birthday will be out of the way!

    Good luck everyone for the remaining months.
