I have not posted much this month, but I have been keeping a note of income.
Cashback: 30p
Tradedowns/Multibuys: £20.33
Savings on grocery deliver (using a monthly pass): £3.50
Facebay sales £17
Copywriting work £30.37
Qmee £1.13
I think that is everything so far, which give me £72.63 minus the £8 for the delivery pass means an extra £64.63.
I have not really been focused on the challenge so far this month, but I have a new lease of life as I have found out we are going to be moving to a house that is more suitable for our family.0 -
All e@ay bits ending in an hour. So far they add up to £18. Not as good as I'd hoped. Just put another load on to end next week. Q@ee at 69p, waiting to get to £1 then will cash out. Surveys have gone very quiet. Not sure what else I can do.

Ditto - was wondering if there are usually less over a weekend? Only found two today between Valued Op, MySurvey and OnePoll and was screened out of both.

Yay-should have around £50 from ebay tonight once worked out fees, also have another £25 FB and preloved sales to drop next week for people and possible £15 more. Have been a resourceful soul today and been bagging up bunny hay-advertised on facebook and have the 19 £1 bags I had done sold already-some collected today and some to deliver on school run tomorrow. Not sure of profit yet-brand new bale in now to try and work it out but reckon it is about 75% so will add once I have more idea. Plant cuttings I took are rooting already-loads of pots and soil here so hopefully sell those in a few weeks when they have grown a little. Was going to carboot but the weather has been bracing so gave it a miss! Update total once I've worked it out!Feb £10 a day challenge: £728.50/£280

I've the following to add since my last update:
£85 more birthday presents
£8 nectar points from adpoints, fuel, shopping and added from credit card account.
£6.09 interest from Lloyds Vantage account
£4.04 eBay sales paid for, after fees
16p Qmee
12p found in street/park
60p -- stamp not franked on letter received this week.
I tried out Ziffit, using my phone to scan books and CDs which I had been meaning to sort for ages. When I saw which ones they would buy and how much was offered, I decided to check if they were selling on eBay and how much for, I've ended up listing them as it appears they are not that common but are selling. Fingers crossed there, perhaps I'm being too optimistic but thought I'd give it a go.
I had a target of £140 this month but have gone past this, mainly because of birthday gifts that I'm very grateful for. I should reach £280+ with ms money due, plus more sales. I have 2 old phones to sell once I've got them unlocked.0 -
Well......not great on the ebay sales front selling just 2 items for £8.19. Will update sig tommorow when I have worked out profit after fee's. It's better than nothing I suppose and my £15 and £20 item had no bids in the end despite 10 watchers. Was sure they would sell as a reasonable price - but thats ebay! Will relist next free listing weekend.
Listed 5 new things that will end next weekend.
£1.81 from quidco.
Seem to be limping along this week but that will motivate me to spring into action!!
Plan for the week:
1. List 2 items a day on ebay (14 new items by this time next week)
2. Daily swagbucks (searches & daily poll)
3. Nectar addpoints for 250 points this week
4. Daily onepoll surveys
5. Book in first mystery shop and get on with it!! Printer ink has now arrived so no excuses!!
6. Investigate if anymore bingo cashback deals
7. Keep my eye out for roadkill (1p so far is a bit pathetic :rotfl:!!)0 -
2 small Textbroker articles completed for £4.20. Sadly my ebay auctions have all ended without bids, I will have to consider starting them lower next time.0
