    At lunchtime I did a questionnaire for some researchers at the Uni where I work - £5 for 20 minutes work :j (in cash :D )

    Then 2 ebay parcels posted - £5.64 and £1.58 profit

    And 2 amazon parcels - £6.72 and £2.77

    So £21.71 made today :T :T

    I know the rest of the week won't be as good but it's a good start.

    (paid in the cashbag cheque I got too).

  • I really need a goodkick up the @rse to get me onto Matched Betting - and to making money in general! :o

    Sold 8 items on ebay last week but need to sort out fees etc before I update totals, but none of them were very expensive so not gonna make a great deal of difference to my total anyway :rolleyes:

    Can I include the £12 a month I'm saving on Sky Broadband from this month? :confused:

    Great newsletter, Gemmzie :T

    Another video sold - profit was a whole 78p :rolleyes: but it's still 78p more than I had this morning ;)

    Have spent some time doing surveys and stuff tonight so hopefully I'll get some payouts before too long.
