  • Can anyone give me a rough idea of how you guys are getting this much money? Ive earned £10 here and there through things like swagbucks and survey sites... but hundreds of pounds just seems way out there?!!

    Hi, I know we're quite far into the year, but I was wondering if it was possible to join.

    I am looking at starting a house deposit, and would like to join a couple of challenges to keep me on track.

    My plans for this challenge are, rather than counting bit and pieces like roadkills and surveys etc, money which I don't quite "see", I will be saving money from wages and any gift money (birthday, christmas etc) into a savings bank account (one away from my DDs and my main job's wages - my second job is paid into this one as I see the second job as extra) and will update here at the end of each month (or every 4 weeks perhaps as I get paid 4 weekly) with how much I have in the bank. To me, money like that is more "real" than an odd penny here and there.

    I get paid on Friday so will be able to give a first amount to start with.
    Hope you don't mind =)

    Well I didn't sell anything else in April other than the £17 I posted earlier in the month.

    So my current total is £55.32 for this year.

    I've cashed out of Ciao this month (hasn't gone into my account yet) and got some ebook royalties coming in at some point, plus I'll probably get to a Bubblews payout as well, so I'll have some more coming in for May without having to raid my DVDs or bookcase XD

    Started adding in OT from work this month so:

    OT: approx £150 after tax
    And a couple of cheeky flutters with tiny stakes netted me £30

    Still to be received are just over £8 from Ciao and the £30 voucher from Dooyoo that I have had to chase yet again....:mad:

    Overall not too bad though!
