Hi

I have made a start - i emptied purse of change and emptied OH's pockets too!! £4.12 in total!! I am also planning to bake some doggie biscuits tonight and selling them. I bought dog bone shaped cutters ages ago so it's about time I put them to use! Holly (my lab) will love being a tester for them i'm sure!!

Also tonight I will be putting items on Ebay since it's cheap listing day..I absolutely hate listing stuff but it has to be done!!

Yeh im not keen on listing neither, I just collect things and then put them all on the same day as they advertise each other, just put a little note under saying check out my other items!!

Lynz ur list is like my bible now Thanks!!! hahah. I went on the that topcashback thing and theres a few things u can do on there. Write a report about a holiday u went on well only a small comment... £1.50 daily clicks again high street web, kelkoo etc I mean I we find a few websites that do this then prob get about a quid a day in just a few clicks!!! oww I sound like a advert!!! arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! im going to add my up tomor and hopefully whatever tracks i will get. I didnt get anything for gala bingo but i put an enquiry and got £20 rock on!!! so theres a few here

These dates are a bit ridiculous!!!! but its still money!!!

madness.... anyways Ive still got virgin casino and ladbrokes!!!

any more ideas anyone this is cool I like making money!! Im going to work in a an hour (im still in my other job for gods sake:p ) so get making more money then minum wag pfffffffffffft!!!

System

I really need to get some money making going after my laptop splurge.

I have calculated I can just about do it, but it will be tight!

Ill update mine later on. I will include doing ebay, something I really dont like doing, but I need to.

lynzpower

OOohh yourm doing well dezzie. Yes its disaapointing isnt it when they dont look like they are gonna pay out for ages

I dont know what else i can offer at the moment.

ive exploited quidco almost ( although theres a few I want to do from home) OH needs to bump his up so he can take advantage of loads of these quidcos.

I entered a load of comps this afternoon to try and win something decent to sell. I cant wait to get home every day to see whats turned up ( answer- nothing yet, but very hopeful)

We are having a real "quick tea" tonight, pizza and jackets so that we can crack on with photographing and listing.

Ive got a load of next clothes, with tags 3x trousers 3x skirts I might do as a bundle. Ive also got a lightfitting ive been meaning to sell for ages, im sure Ill be tied up in knots with my patience draining while trying to takem a picture of it again :wall:

I have to AGAIN do some work for my 2nd job this evening , one of these days I will get paid for that! im also booked in to go to a Habitat party where there are goodie bags to be had next week wonder if there might be anything worth flogging in there OH has got a pair of hot fuzz sunglasses from the Sun paper yesterday and apparently they might be worth a bit too. Even if its a quids worth, a quid nearer to our target :T

Also for everyone ebaying- dont forget ebay is available in 2 forms for CB - 1) on quidco altohugh I have heard a lot of reports its not tracking etc. 2) to go through nectar eshops which ive been doing as the quidco one has been so all over the place.

Quick question - what do people count as earnt towards their £1000 target via Quidco and stuff? Would you include items that are tracked but not due to pay out til after the end of the challenge or would you include everything as its all extra money earnt???

Same as things like MShopping - the money is officially earnt but takes a while to arrive... I would count that though!

I know its a little pedantic, but want to do the right thing... or the generally agreed thing!! Realise its my money but want to feel like I am completing the challenge by the book!

Thanks for any advice - shall be updating my sig later.

Im going to count it all to be honest, in quidco if its validated by our cut off date, Im having it! Whether we have technically banked a grand or we are still waiting for 10p to pay out from quidco, to my mind its neither here nor there.

eg, Ive found a fiver in my greasypalm. I must have got it AGES ago, its not a site I use. But if i can get at it, im having it in the total. Likewise the pennies that are in the house, they are ours, so we will cash them. Without the challenge we might have lazily just left them in the pot.

Emily- I cant believe you are joining us :T :T I would have thought youd be all challenged out by now :rotfl: you are such an inspiration :cool: - and I know your progress will certainly make us here in the power household raise our game!

So gang what are we all up to this evening?

Ive got an email to apply for a focus group, about to send that.

We are meant to be doing some listing tonight too. OH on way home from work at the mo. Will do it when he gets in.

No prizes through the door today when when when will the postie bring me something good?

LoLo

Hi, can I join in with this challenge please? Am going to go for the £1000 but think its highly unlikely I will reach it but am going for the aim higher method.
