  • I've made a grand total of £2.72 this week!!!!

    On the up side, I've been looking through my survey and cashback sites and some of them are coming up to or over the threshold for claiming so I'll get on and do that so they are all gathered in before Christmas.

    I've got:

    830 Lightspeed points that I can put in my Paypal account
    3140 HI points.... not sure whether to claim 2500 or wait til theres 5000 there, they add up quite quick
    76540 T&V points.... again not sure whether to claim 60000 or wait and see if I can get up to 120000, porbably not, T&V are slow
    2329 pigsback points
    1995 pigsback points in OH's account (he'll claim vouchers and hand em over for christmas spendings....or else!)
    27 plus 5 pending points from itsyourview.... have to hope I can get to 50 before December....
    £7.75 from Valued Opinion just 2.25 to go
    time to get clicking!

    Been pretty quiet for me recently - have been busy trying to get on top of our finances and settling into my new job. OH's away next week so I'm hoping to really have a good sort and maybe get in car boot sale once he's back.

    About £20 this week - I'll add it up properly and report later in the week.

    sorry candyblue logged off yesterday quickly, so in reply to your question, travel cot, child's desk, child's golf clubs, ps2 games, lots of videos, and books for between 50P-£1. (put my amazon listing on holiday and took all those books AND VIDEOS. (just need to delist books I've sold but too tired last night to do so).
    my daughter and her fiance came as well and they made over £30 so quite a profitable day.
  • Hi All,
    I have not posted on here for ages, due to a combination of manically busy with work and a poor run of health, but I am still enjoying the challenge and I am pleasantly surprised how much I have made for the challenge so far.

    I think my biggest savings are coming from having moved my credit card balance to 0% interest card and taking my lunch to work everyday. Also, as I now only work 4 days a week, I save money on travel.

    Unfortunately my debts have gone up as had to buy a new computer!:mad:
