    Hi guys can I join? I'm trying to top up what I earn so I can afford a house deposit. I'm well aware I'd need to save up a lot as I want the mortgage in my sole name, so getting started now!

    I've got a few days overtime, I've got one day overtime in April, and I have a few books from Uni to sell, and a radio I forgot to return to Amazon. I will need to read through this thread and look at what survey websites are best.

    Hi Mizzame
    Know well about the depression problem! I think that's were I am coming unstuck at the moment, making money but spending it as quick as I am earning it! I think may be if I have a goal such as a holiday to work towards it may motivate me more....think I might price up a holiday.
    What sort of promo work do you do?
    Doing okay earning at the moment, done 3 mystery shopping assignments with Market Force so far this month, but its hard work. Got another to do tomorrow and I have earnt a bit from eBay.
    Must keep going and look forward to some sunshine!

    Aw LuckyPenny booking a holiday is great as it gives you something to look forward to however bad things get.

    I do promo work for a Field Marketing Company... Some jobs fabulous, some really dull and some tough but most of them I enjoy. Try Link Communications and CFM.

    I Mystery Shop for Grassroots.

    Have to laugh Mizz ... up here CFM is local radio station and Grassroots is a horsey website used to check microchips but I know those aren't who you are talking about,

    🎄PAYDBXMAS21 #11  £11,300/£11300
    Target met.
    💥PAYDBXMAS22  #11 £5000/£5000 target met.
    PAYDBXMAS23 #26 £5000/£5000 paid

  • Had a clear out and sold some books and DVDs to colleagues, currently made £22 and have some others possibly going on Monday.

    eBook sales are trickling in, made a few quid last month and I'm looking at the same this month, don't get any money until around May or possibly even June though so it'll be a while before I can add that to the total.

    Overall so far better than last month XD
