I also keep forgetting to post monthly totals!
Last time I was on here I had just done a car boot sale and made £80 and I had just put items on eBay. That has gone really well for me and I have made £338.41 so far with four more items yet to go on.
So, I am up to £924.15 for the year and I am determined to get to £1000 before the end of 2013. I am still doing the surveys but have yet to hit the cash out value yet, but they are going.
It has been a really hard, but rewarding challenge for me to 'earn an extra £2013' in a year by selling things and so on, and it has made me use my brain. That said, I have only managed to get roughly to half way. I am really going to have to find much better and profitable methods of getting my hands on extra money next year, especially since I have sold all the unused things I have in the house!
GB12345 - do you mind me asking what 'Createspace' is and what type of freelancing stuff you do? (If that is not too nosey a question to ask?).
Well done to all those people who have reached their targets, plus those who have made the effort to try and earn some extra money too!:oNo. 47 Save £12k in 2018: £ ( %)
