    No, is there a FB group?
    thanks, will look for it...
  • Right, I know today isn't the last day of the month but no bank work gets done over the weekend so I'm counting my May as over.

    Earned an extra £12.43 this month which brings my total for this year to £67.75

    Doubt next month will be quite as good as book sales have slowed down. Need to hurry up and write the second volume to get more cash.

    Hey all
    Its been a long time since I posted but I have been busy with work and househunting etc...
    Total so far this year is £1038 mainly due to ebay sales, cashback websites and a little savings account that matured.
    Next week I'm doing a carboot with my best friend so hope to make at least another £100 I have an enitre spare room full of stuff to shift before I move! xxx Keep going everyone

    Corrected some initial figures and added on some new details:

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

    2. £20 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.

    4. £25 payment due to an error with my bank account.

    5. £150 payment due to a refund being held from me for over one year.

    6. Sold a small batch of toys - £15.

    7. HCs - £5.

    Total thus far - £285.

    Completely fell apart on this and some of the above need revised:

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

    2. £40.50 from a survey reward site.

    3. £25 payment due to an error with my bank account.

    4. £150 payment due to a refund being held from me for over one year.

    5. £15 negotiated discount from my car insurance.

    Total - £250.50, I suppose it's money I may not have had otherwise.
