    well done to everyone so far! 2nd day of the challenge for me and some ebay items have ended and I've managed £9.62 profit after all fees. Also made another £7.50 on some MB'ing yesterday. :j

    Going to sort out my pending Quidco and surveys and add that as a seperate pending total too. Will update total in my sig in a bit.

    Just wanted to say thanks for the thread, I always read threads like these and mean to join them but end up never getting round to it, but now I have am finding it a real inspiration. :T

    Thanks for all the 'good luck' messages! The interview went really well, they asked me what my preferred hours would be and showed me around the office so it seems promising!
    Just have to wait and see when I hear from them. I'd be starting monday if I get it, I'll let you all know as soon as I know!!

    God, everyone has been doing really well! I think I might go try some of the competitions on the board, I can't find anything in the house to sell so I might as well try to win something to sell on instead!

    P.S. Just checked Quidco and got declined for one of my magazine group offers. I did the magazine group as its own click and then the business magazine, but turns out it was part of the magazine group so I only get one reward not 2 - £4.80 lost today, no profit! :(

    I just love that question you ask yourself - 'what can I do to make some more money?' - I'm now going to ask myself that everyday!! :D

    I use http://www.theprizefinder.com for my internet comps. They sort them buy closing date and if you register then they highlight the ones you have already entered. I just enter the ones that are closing the next day.

    So, what can I do today to make some more money?

    I am going to list a few things on Ebay tonight and see what happens with them - still not received payment for the ones that closed on Sunday :mad:

    I've just received 5 surverys to complete that will pay £5 each so that's another £15 towards my total. I can complete these tonight.

    I'm going to answer some questions on AQA and enter some competitions at the same time.

    Off to make some money now!!
