WELSH-DRAGON_2

Well here are my totals so far:

£21.50 mystery shopping
£200.06 quidco
£5.29 ebay
£10.50 lottery
£51.30 matched betting
£284.00 overtime in my office = £572.65

I also have more to add to quidco when it tracks, and 2 days of overtime from my office plus a couple of car boots hopefully so I should reach the target of £1,000.

Dezzi I know how you feel about making all this money and not being able to spend it on anything even though you are working harder than ever. My OH and I felt like this last year but we are now DEBTS FREE :j :j :j and we wouldn't be if we hadn't put every last penny towards it and it would still be hanging over our heads.

Now when one of us gets an extra shift or I do some MS its great because we can think about what we will spend the money on. My OH is out tonight with the TA earning extra pennies and eh really couldn't be bothered but knowing he would earn money THAT WE COULD SPEND!!! was ennough to spur him on and out the door.

I actaully now feel gratueful for being in debt at a young age ( stick with me here I'm not mental - honest) because I have learnt so much on how to make more money, spend less, and get more for my money and I and WE will never be in debt again. So just look forward the light is at the end of the tunnel and you are all running towards it.

(Cheesey I know but true) .

a quarter way there - did some more gambling to get more money on quidco and have joined r points and mutual points - though i'm a bit confused by them - they seem so similar. which ones best?

nothing else as yet - trouble is i keep getting sidetracked on the computer when in quidco looking at stuff... I need to get back to being more focussed! Help! I will read through this thread tomorrow and take notes!! that should help... thank you to everyone for all theinfo and advice. jaquie x

Hi everyone

Time for another update:

AQA - £143.40
Change - £8.00
Mystery Shopping - £25.70
Quidco - £38.45
Ebay - £251.00
Yougov - £2.00
Other - £266.00

Total - £734.55

:j Have passed the £700 mark

I did another mystery shop yesterday for £6, sold some stuff in the paper for £7.50 and sold some Eay items for £30.

I was on my local radio yesterday winning an Ipod Shuffle so I'm going down there later today to collect that. It was quite nerve racking, I've never won on the radio before but it wasn't as bad as I thought.

I've also got a load of stuff on Ebay so I'm hoping to reach the £1,000 target by the end of Sunday. May have to do some AQA to get there though.

Keep going everyone
