    Hi everyone, I've added 65p :)

    Sold a greetings card for 45p and got 20p on Qmee.

    My plans for upping my total this month or kicking off next month are:

    Heading to Cash 4 Clothes with some old children's clothes -- won't be much.

    Possibly add a pair of H&M jeans to eBay -- if I can wash a grass stain off. I have 12 items on at the moment, ending on Sunday, all at 99p, no bids so far and about 4 watchers split between them -- underwhelming but I thought they may as well be on just in case.

    Keep checking for new MS opportunities.£4 due 25th.


    Dig out unused Xmas cards (I have old Phoenix cards stock) could sell plus seek out anything else Xmas related can go on eBay or Facebook

    Get my act together to put kids' bikes, portable radiators, car seat, old golf clubs and ladies' bike on Facebook -- must be a few quid there!

    Step up my efforts to find saleable books (got 2 accepted so far, need another £10+ more)

    Am expecting £100 cashback and £50 payment for a sale this month, plus fingers crossed for £50 owed.
    (sold a vintage camera to a friend who said she'd pay after pay day)
    Hoping may get first P1necone survey

    Interest and cashback from Santander on 24th of month

    Start to help my mum declutter on eBay and am paying myself 5 per cent.

    I have one book left written by me that I have been flogging for charity!

    Last but not least I need to chill out, it's my daughters' birthday tomorrow and this is their 2nd birthday since we lost their dad, to say I am besides myself that he's not here is an understatement.

    Heading on a free three-day Mediterranean cruise on Thursday, blimmin 'eck if that doesn't help me chill, I don't know what will.

    Thanks for all the inspiration xx thought my list may possibly useful.
  • I have just worked out that in order to get my target for this month I need to make £226.82:eek:

    My money making plans for today is to write some articles, check birthday bingo, check postcode lottery, list some items on ebay, sort through emails and do surveys

    Caught up now - it reminded me that I found some suncream reduced from £16 to £2 per bottle. I paid for one bottle using my Boots advantage card, so I'm taking £2 on our joint account towards this challenge.

    Seriously, how is suncream £16 a bottle?!?!?
    I like to make money
