    Awww Carla, hope everything's ok with you. x

    I really should get my ebay backside in order, I go on holiday 2 weeks today so could do with getting abit of spending money.

    Still not heard from AQA, I'm sure they turned me down fairly quickly last time, do you reckon this could be a good sign???!!! Fingers crossed! This could solve all my problems!

    Big hugs Carla - it cannot be easy breaking up with someone so just wanted to say - I hope you are OK and don't burn yourself out as from your postings you sound like you are on the go constantly.

    As for the challenge I have entered a few competitions but no more wins.

    I haven't done a car boot due to the bad weather here and I haven't sold anything on ebay either.

    But I did ask someone who was very knowledgeable on surveys what the best ones were and she has given me lots of pointers so will check that out.

    I have deleted 1,231 emails from my spam yahoo account after ensuring none were actually worth keeping.

    and finally as I sat in my office having lunch with my workmates and I said :

    "Please can you suggest a good name for a drunken shrimp" they finally thought I had flipped (it's for a local competition).

    Quidco total has gone down due to lovefilm being declined.

    Awww Dezzie :( Big huge hugs from me as well. I'm sure you're feeling a bit lonely but by the sounds of it you can (and will!) do a lot better. If work is what you need to blot things out, then so be it, but don't burn yourself out all together, ok?

    Sweepster, you're more than welcome to join but we're three weeks from the end now. Lots of useful info here to challenge yourself wth though :). Did we agree the 18th August or did I make that up? Maybe we can start another challenge once we've had a short break?

    My totals are now:

    Quidco £137.37
    Yougov £2.50
    Mirror Bingo £15.00
    AQA £71.20
    Matched Betting £244.68
    R-points £5.00
    Changing Home Insurance £127
    Loose change £5.38
    Sandwiches £60
    Supermarket loyalty points £20.70

    This makes £688.83 :)

    I wish this was reflected in my debt signature but I've had a lot of outgoings as it's the anniversary month of buying my house, so home insurance, tv licence, etc.

    In the pipeline; more AQA and matched betting dosh, cashback for changing my utilities and I won a prize from my agency so that will be sold/added in. Also need to get rid of some vouchers I've been hanging onto.

    Keep going, nearly there everyone!
