    thanks a million Aesop and hope all going okay for you - nice to 'see' more of you this week.

    No worries nat21luv - and don't be jealous clingingtothewreckage. It's just that when I had to return from Spain in November 2008 all I had was a suitcase and £20. Not really had time or money to collect any 'clutter' :rotfl:


    Not made a bean today but been sorting out potential stuff and looking for more schemes and opportunities. So fingers xd will be profitable in the long run :D


    Have a super Sunday everyone
    Lx

    OFSTED finished and reported on Friday, so today is my chill out day... given me a bit of time to catch up with survey sites and have a look at quidco, click snap, tcb, shopitize and see if anything I want to buy that will pay out.

    got DS to help me clean the house ready Daddy coming back tonight. I need to sort his camping stuff out, he is going on Friday. tried to buy a sleeping bag from sportsdirect but they are all too big.
  • I use IAP surveys, don't know too much about them, took me about 3months to get enough points for a £10 AGC. Surveys are *normally* worth about 100 points for 20min survey and cash out is about 1300 points... Hope this helps?!

    Yeah i do them too - just cashed out £10 voucher that can be used in loads of high st shops. I'm gona save mine for xmas pressies
    Hopefully if I can get a couple more, that'll cover all the kiddies at least.

    I've added:

    £11 Santander 123 cashback and interest
    £1.44 TopCashback (from an M&S Christmas present)
    61p nectar points earned on shopping and petrol.

    I have 15 items listed on eBay, ending today, I think about 7 will sell and this will bring me from about £12 after fees.

    Pending this month I have

    £46 from ms
    £198 2 months mileage claim, not sure if this will be paid as cashflow is a nightmare
    £69 TopCashback from booking a couple of trips through hotels.com and a week away through Lowcostholidays, not really expecting that this month, it's already just a little overdue.

    I have children's bikes, tennis racquets and assorted clutter to sell, this will have to be next month now. I have a few ms jobs in the pipeline to pay out next month, one is for £35, best fee I've had, I have to open a savings account. I did an MS yesterday and they increased the fee to £15 (including reimbursement) as the first time I went the shop was shut.

    I still need to get started with Roamler and will do Adpoints tonight, I am ploughing on with YouGov, Qmee has fallen off my radar. YouGov is the only survey site apart from nectar canvass and Pinecone I do as it allows me to tell the truth about what industry I work in! I'm at £23, so not quite at half way til payout, but still seems busier/quicker than last year at this stage, which took from Feb til Dec I think.

    We are off to Portugal in a couple of weeks, I'm calling it the holiday eBay bought :)

    I feel like I'm plodding along this month, am seeing where I get to until I've been doing this challenge for 12 months. Thanks to everyone here I have learned a lot!

    I've also made savings from next month that I won't add, £23 a month direct debit cancelled to Orange, I was paying for 2 mobiles for my daughters and I've been able to get this paid through work. I'm also saving various amounts after losing our beautiful little jack russell, including £15.15 a month on pet insurance. Really want to sort my claim out today, I've paid out around £700 for her treatment for her being so poorly.

    I keep saying I will do a car boot sale but it's just too much for me at the moment and with a bit of effort I should get stuff sold on eBay and Facebook.

    Bit of a mammoth post there. Have a great Sunday xx

    Okay, I'm finally here with some totals to add:

    £50 cheque cleared
    £10 Qustodian - £40 since July, so I'm happy with that.
    £32 in Paypal - a combination of two eBay sales (one thing was a freebie I signed up for and it sold for £10.50!), two small Instagram sales and a tiny, tiny mystery shop.

    Total now stands at £268.65 - slightly ahead of target.
    I like to make money
    Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder


    :j Make £10 a day challenger - it pays for trips to Florida! :j

    28p Adpoints, mutter mutter :)
    £18.43 from eBay sales after fees, all paid for, happy with amount, it all helps. Relisted non-selling items, may have to face the fact some just won't sell.
    I'm behind target and not at all sure payments pending will get to me in time to reach £310, £200+ not too shabby though after months of higher totals and I love the fact it's more than I've spent on groceries x
