Right, another 12p found under the sofa !!!
Really going to get there aren't I?!!
Seriously, I'm going to get a photo of our broken lawnmower and list on ebay this weekend. Also I am going to send off for a pigsback voucher to sell or give as pressie so will put the money into this challenge from that when I get it. Am also saving ipoints and should hopefully have enough for something soon! My lightspeed points are rising nicely and hopefully should be able to get a £15 paypal transfer soon. So that will all be going toward the challenge.

Well done on doing the job!!! :T :T
I did a couple of Subway ones a little while ago where I had to take a picture of the outside and I did an O2 one with a picture. I got a few strange looks but what the hell!!

When I took the photo with my phone I didn't look around - I would have been too embarrassed - I was in the middle of the city - on my own - tanding next to a queue of traffic! :rotfl:

Now you have done one, you will be fine doing lots of others!! The first one is always the worst.0 -
I've got £71.40 in my AQA account so far this month. I'm hoping that will be at least £150 by Sunday evening.
I've also got a mystery shop tomorrow which is a meal but you get paid a £5 fee as well as a free meal (can't be bad!!) so I will add that to my total once I have completed it.
My 2 items on Ebay have got £100 already and end on Sunday but I won't count it until they have been paid!! I just want some of my prizes to turn up so I can sell them :rolleyes: . I have got some other Ebay stuff to list on Sunday.
I'll count out all my change later and add that to my total too

Oh this is just SO unfair
My laptop has died and so I can't get internet access till Monday now....PLUS my boss just came up to me and said as it's Friday and the other boss is off today why don't you all go home half hour early at 5pm. For the first time EVER I don't want to go...I want to do clicks on quidco and suchlike!!!
Have a lovely 'money making' weekend all!!

Well Im thoroughly worn out today now. All I want to do is have a nice long bath and lie on the sofa reading- but I have SO much stuff to sort out for tomorrow!
Just got in - Ive been over the other side of london collecting keys for one flat tomorrow, and I got a call on route asking me to do another one! So I have 2 jobs on tomorrow. Where Im going to find the time I dont know. Im ment to be going out tomorrow night and all day sundayt :eek: not enough hours in the day are there
Tonight then my efforts are print off all docs and prepare equipment for tomorrow. If I have time or inclination, count up the copper jar and see whats there - bag up if poss. If I have more inclination theres a few bits on quidco I need to do, and also i might enter a few more comps just in case anything comes through the door i can flog ( unless emily snaffles them all first :rotfl: )
My total remains the same for today. But Im very optimistic that by the end of the weekend we should have topped it.:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
This is what you call a challenge!:rotfl:
You are living in the UK right!?
Get a 9-5 office job approx £200 p/w minimum
Get a weekend job in retail mobile phone shops pay best, approx £50 p/w min
Wait tables/work in bar in evenings min £50 p/w
And those are the minimums amounts...1 month TOTAL £1200
If you really want to 'tear it up' take your 21 days holiday from your office job. Call an agency and get temp work earning another £200 minimum p/w. (just think of it as double time):D
Now thats what i call a challenge:eek:0 -

Yeah but we are earning 1k OVER what we would normally earn during our day jobs. Thats the key
If it was just earn 1k in 2 months, It would be easy, we are already doing it:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
