I've gone past my target with £109.95 paid from the cashback credit card I opened this time last year to get the initial higher rate cashback and hardly use now, I plan to close it now I've had that payout, been paying it off each month.

I had a DS game on buy it now on eBay with free postage for £3.99 (only the game) and it sold at 1am this morning. I'm working out that comes to £2.90 for me, I've sold loads of DS games a while back and found this one in a drawer at work the other week, so although it's a low price am pleased to have decluttered some more and made a couple of quid.

Planning to put two or three things on eBay tonight but the sofa is beckoning x

£12.88 yesterday from vouchers - total so far an amazing £18.58! In my defence I have spent a lot of this month so far getting cheaper deals, doing credit card shuffles and so on so my overall expenditure is way down and I have cut ££££ in interest off my debts. Once these things are all sorted and in place I can concentrate on upping the income.

Mid month check in #92

Hi everyone, I've been inspired by hearing all of your updates through the month, and given me lots of ideas to try! Few of them (surveying etc) come to anything much yet, but from many small acorns...

Totals for the month to date:
£20 Christmas cheque
£170 paying guests
£20 Ebay items (batch 1, after postage etc: cash still in paypal though).
=£210.

I would never have tried Ebay-ing the bits that I did or been as quick to say yes to back to back guests etc without this challenge spurring me on - thank you.

We have a guest staying one night next week and I am doing several hours overtime this weekend, so I'm feeling pretty confident about the challenge! I dont feel like doing either so thanks again Aesop et al. I've also been through a lot of our books and am building a batch to trade in. Might also finish that this weekend. Another first try at that for me.

We are also living on yellow stickered top ups, mainly to the freezer. I was SO excited today to discover YS aubergines, oranges, cauliflower, broccoli - I needed fruit & vegetables, theres been a lot of carbs recently!

Sold a DVD box set on Amazon. Had listed it ages ago and forgotten about it. After fees and postage should get about £5.50 for it. Will add it into my total when it gets to my account.

Also managed to declutter my sofa through freecycle so thanks for the suggestions everyone. Now need to get some toy storage so that I can see the floor again!

£90.84 to add, yearly saving due to phoning when getting our car insurance renewal and getting them to drop the price x

I'm just joining this Gonna try for £10 a day which will pay for my monthly amount I've earmarked for our trip to Canada next year - so far I've sold a few bits through FB making £33 so that's a good start!
Anyone know when the next free listing on Ebay is???

£1.06 eBay after all fees/postage. Bit miffed as it's an item I sold for £8 last month but buyer never paid.
Saved £1.65 on a top in H&M by pointing out the tiniest of loose threads, extra discount on top of sale price!
99p saved on discounted hair dye (don't usually count discounts on items but since I would have bought it normally at full price it's genuinely money saved).

Oh, and finally got my first Swagbucks voucher!! £5 for Amazon
