    Have today requested £10.25 from a survey site so will add that when it comes in. Bank holiday will delay invoices being paid so can probably only add more to the challenge end of next week...

  • just realised I forgot to include some expenses on the mystery shop money so my total has dropped a little! :( but never mind!

    shows how obsessed I am with survey sites as evry time my parents go to boots or argos they ask if I have any vouchers before they go :rotfl: which is great for me because it means I get the cash without spending the money!

    I am amazed at how much I have managed to make in the challenge and if it wasnt for mse I would have never managed to do this!

    As I said before my challenge money (plus the £60.12 from the money for nothing challenge) is going to be for my spending money in China when I go in September (obviously hoping to bring some of it back!!) but an added bonus is as Im away for almost 3 weeks most of my wages that month will go unspent! as Ill only be in the country for 10 days between paydays Ill be able to save alot of money that month too!

    Got 2 cashback cheques this morning that were £197.50 between them, so I topped that up with £2.50 I had in savings pig and took that to bank straight away.

    saved another £2.28 with a BOGOF offer, so that can be added.

    Mum's threatening to do a car boot sale tomorrow (first one :eek: ) and I'm hoping it rains so I don't have to - most of the stuff's mine with a few of her things.

    Friends are coming over in 2 weeks so I have to get rid of things before they get here to look less cluttered :o so I think for next 2 weeks I'm going to be at home with NSD trying to tidy things up here before they come over.

    Was only going to clear my room as I have to move to another room for that time but they're now needing to use my PC in office so will have to tidy up here too :eek:
