  • won a £10 book token and sold a 1st edition autographed book on Amazon.
    I also won a iPad mini which is going up for sale locally to me. That will help the total.

    welcome to deldee, TiltedBrain and lrb7691

    slow earning week for me as there was 4 stolen pony reports came in within 3 days so it all got rather hectic, 3 found alive, 1 found (rip x) and then another one found from last month (rip x)

    off for the rest of the weekend now so time to chill out and slowly expand the website, more traffic = more views on adverts .. fingers crossed

    Hi! Can I join please?

    For the first time in my life I have some savings and it's spurring me on to save more. So I'm doing this to save £2014, not just make it.

    I'm only going to count the money that is physically in my savings account, I have some in my PayPal but I will most likely use that for business stuff and erm ebay shopping :o

    So at the end of January I had £336.26 in my savings account from mystery shopping, selling things and my cake business.

    Hayley :)
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:

    I'm getting really frustrated with myself. I am doing well at earning but I don't seem to be clearing any debts because I keep spending! Car MOT'ed and repairs last month and tax disc this month, plus we have had some family outings.

    If I wasn't doing this challenge I don't know where I would be!
    Did my first MS assignment with Market Force which was fun, trying to find another to do now.

    Selling a few bits on eBay and purchasing vouchers through a cash back site for fuel and shopping giving me 5%. Plus I pay £3 a month for a heath fund scheme and I am able to claim back £90 consultancy fees this month :T

  • Yeeah, sign me up to this, although I doubt I'll get close to £1000 let alone the full £2014, but it might prompt me to finally clear out all the DVDs and old crafting stuff that I've been hanging on to.

    Solid but not a spectacular start from me thus far, I will continually update this throughout the year:

    1. £20 refund from insurance company due to them making an administration error.

    2. £10 from a survey reward site.

    3. £50 from selling my old bike that has literally been lying up in the shed rusting for at least 15 years.

    Total thus far - £80.
