    I have been paid today so won't add anything to total after today. Its been a good month in terms of how much extra I made but due to a change in my financial circumstances money is much tighter.
    Anyway, thanks to bank shifts, wage enhancements and a refund for overpayments my June total is £589. I will update my Sig.
    Well done everyone who has stuck with this challenge. Thank you Cally for keeping it going.

    Target met.
    💥PAYDBXMAS22  #11 £5000/£5000 target met.
    PAYDBXMAS23 #26 £5000/£5000 paid

  • Paid £16 of loose change (£10 of 20p, £5 of 5p, £1 of 1p) into the bank this afternoon.

    Also got a whopping £98.32 paid in from Zazzle, it's been accumulating for around 4 years, with me doing no marketing at all in the past 3 years. Finally got round to submitting my W8-BEN form, which they then lost, submitted another one, didn't hear back from them so was starting to think I should just delete my shops and tell them they could keep the money they'd "stolen" but then I suddenly got a paypal notification that the money had arrived.

    Haven't seen if my Ciao money has gone in this month so I'll hold off totalling until Monday.

    Hi Cally :)

    I've updated my siggy so you can see my total for this year so far.

    Can't believe we are half way through already!!
  • Wow, thanks to my Bubblews and Zazzle money (both of which have already been spent as I'm setting up my own history website and hosting fees cost XD) this month I made & saved and extra £143.73!!!

    So total so far this year is £211.48 :D
