2007 Olympic Challenge (Part Two)

Yorkielass

Well it's been over a month but I'm back and ready for the final push!!!

A combination of a week away on holiday (and getting ready for that) then work's been very busy and stressful (temps don't have the best terms and conditions where I am) and Amazon and GM sales have dried up completly - have just had my 1st 2 week period since August when I've had no sales on Amazon at all :eek:

Anyway when I realised I'd never make £1007 without a final push I've got myself sorted - finally updated my " how much money I've made and where I've made it from" spreadsheet and I'm up to £754.54 :j :j I'm almost bang on target for this point in the challenge (which is good but I was £150 over at one point - I did miss a week when I was away though)

A bit of interest - as in 90p - on the account I opened to pay the money I made into has helped a bit - and 1 video on amazon, a gym ball to someone at work and a couple of things on ebay but most of the money in the last month has been from taking part in psychology experiments at lunchtime - I pop over do an experiment and get a few pounds - used to do it whilst I was a student and have gone back to it as the dept I'm in atm is close to the psychology dept - have made almost £50 in 3 months :T

Lastly my mum sent me £20 to buy a top because she was going to get me one but couldn't see one she liked and normally I would have bought a top with it but I decided I had enough clothes so it's gone in the challenge too :T

I've also got some Mystery shops at last having kept missing them. Did one on Saturday for GFK NOP and doing 2 this weekend and 1 the next for TNS, 2 of which are places I've been before but over 3 months ago - as I didn't MS for over a month (mid April - end May) I'm really pleased - that should be £30 ish to add.

So to get the final £250 I need :eek: I've/I'm:

1. Put some vouchers on ebay - 1 lot sold today and 1 lot ending on Thursday - both doing/done really well
2. Got some things lined up for ebay and as I've discovered it's a cheap listing day on Thursday when I was going to list them anyway I'm playing with turbolister atm to get them sorted.
3. Getting a carboot 'pile' ready - I think I can get enough stuff together with some of the amazon/gm stuff which hasn't sold to make it worth while in a few weeks weather permitting
4. Going to envirophone my old phone (keep putting it off but OH has so many old phones there are plenty of spares)
5. continuing to book myself onto psychology experiments got 1 tomorrow and friday and one next week so far.

Hoping that'll help with £100 or so - just need amazon sales to pick up again.:rolleyes:

Well done to hypno, ruthie, lee and anyone else I've missed (I had a quick scim through) it's great you've all made your targets - here's to more successes over the next few weeks :T :T
