Well done woodyrocks :T :T

I've realised I need to update my total - but my spreadsheet is on my computer at home - will try and do that tonight - I have my breakdown of where the money has come from on there too but will save that for the end.

Had a good week last week and made my £37 weekly target. :j

Had 2 Amazon sales over the weekend but only got a few pounds from them - have done a couple of experiments too but won't be more than £12 this week :mad:

My things on ebay are doing really well - well one is in particular and they have loads of watchers so I'm hoping that I'll do a bit better next week.

Have the jiffy from envirofone to send back my old phone in - might just get the cheque in time.

Think I need to have another ebay think tonight - I so want to make it to £1007 :money:

Hmmm, I am in Limbo now, unsure whether to quit or try and make £1000 in a month - I think that's impossible but will keep adding little bits here and there x

just a quick question, if people have taken extra jobs to earn cash are they adding on the gross amount or the amount after tax and NI???

the reason is i have a hefty amount of overtime coming in and wondered whether it would get me to gold status, but defo depends on gross or taxed??

any views

My overtime I added after tax and NI - the actual cash got in the hand is what I put in my total.

that's what i had already been doing, but just thought i would double check as i'm looking for gold and will probably get about £1600 for 80 hours overtime, but my overtime is at a reduced rate!!!!!

then i need to minus tax, NI etc.

admittedly o2 owe me £150 which will push me closer when they pull their finger out!!!!!

Im not doing this but would count the amount after tax and NI that way its the actual amount of money you have to use for debt repayment or whatever you are using the money for. If you include it as gross it would look like you have more available money than you actually have

cant wait to break open my piggy bank! that will be a true test of money that I would have frittered away one way or another (mainly in the vending machine at work )

I have put all the loose change I end up with in there, not high value coins but the stuff that clutters up my purse (especially after a night out) only draw back to this was the time I had to overpay on the parking meter, it hurt so much to do that!!! and I have to admit that normally I would have found somewhere to park for free but I had my 5 year old autistic niece with me so that wasnt an option, the parking price was well worth not having to worry about a long walk!
