    Some fab totals there, peeps. I've stalled a bit, nothing extra made since middle of March!!! :( Slightly running out of ideas, need to regroup.

    On the plus side I have been not spending budgeted money on baby and maternity stuff due to swapping, making etc. so not all bad. So definitely some savings to come there.

    Shame that the original post hasn't been updated in weeks. Would be nice to see that I've completed the challenge on there! Sure others would like a motivational push too!

  • Well for April so far I have £17.30 for trading in a bunch of DVDs with Cex. Need to get rid of the books next, and clear out the craft stuff.

    Thinking I might have to revise my approach of not including work overtime - there'll be more time for external bonus income like ebay once we've moved but it's taking so long! Will start counting overtime from this month I think...

    Well done everyone!

    Still earning well, mainly though eBay sales, market research, a cashback website and cashing in loyalty points.:j

    Does anyone do a tax return for their market research? If so, do you include both the assignment payment and the goods payment e.g. if I went to a restaurant I would get £10 to spend and £3.50 for doing the actual job. Would you declare £13.50? or just £3.50?

    Doing well earning but bought myself a (second hand) car, I didn't need it, just wanted it! So broke one of Martin's rules! This has taken my debt free date back by 1 year.:(

    I am spending the money I earn on two holidays this year, but trying to get them at the right price. Think this is always a great motivating factor for earning/saving money. So I am going to try really hard over the next few months to realise these dreams.:T
