lynnejk

Had our lunch courtesy of an MS today and made £13. Made another £1.75 on surveys.



Have paid yearly subs for 'i' newspaper which will save £51.50 (after taking off three issues not printed through year and interest I would have earned).


So grand total today £66.25 :j so pleased as I was struggling :eek:


Hope you all have a marvellous money-making last Monday of March.

£16.48 from eBay tonight once fees were taken into account, plus 55p from Qmee - a total of £17.03 to add. Looking through my eBay listings today, I noticed I had an item with one watcher on it and no page views. How this is possible I do not know, especially since it went on to get a bid and still showed no page views, but it sold for 99p so I'm not that bothered either

I can't remember who asked about Pinecone login problems (Sarah?) and my puter is on a go-slow so I don't want to hit the 'back' button, but I have vague memories of the same thing happening to me when I'd done my first survey. The problems seemed to resolve themselves within a few days without any intervention from me. Mostly because I wouldn't have known where to start

I've just been making sure that I'm on top of my financial records for the end of the month and I'm practically glowing with joy over the strides I've made in March, mostly all down to participating in this thread. The car has got it's MOT in April and so I expect I'll be glowing with financial embarrassment again before long, but I'm making the most of this feeling while it lasts. I think I might get myself a cup of Smartprice hot choccie in a minute and sit and admire my forum siggie. So much better than the telly

I've chased up a small refund that I was owed, had an email confirming that they will pay it into my account, so that's another £6 in the pot.

Seems a shame to be only £4.30 short of my aim. I think I will try to motivate myself to write a couple of little articles on Textbroker to make my target. Not really in the mood though...

I'm declaring for this month. £155/£310 so only got half as much as I would have liked.
On the positive side, if I hadn't been in this challenge, I probably would not even have got £100.
Going to find April challenge.

Right I've managed to motivate myself to get back to some writing and have completed 2 articles on Textbroker, which will take me to my total. Final total £310.50, not bad at all.

The best news of all is that I've finally had confirmation of my new job. This will mean I can cut right back on my extra money making ideas and instead concentrate on trying to regain my career. I have enjoyed the years that I've not had a 'proper' job but am glad to have an opportunity to be back in the more traditional world of work. I'm going to working 3 days a week in a Finance Manager role, fingers crossed it goes well.

I think I might still do some mystery shopping, as I quite enjoy some of the jobs but will not be sorry to say goodbye to the mobile phone shops for now! I've updated our spreadsheets with my new salary and it looks like we will have a surplus each month, scary thought, I think we're so used to looking after the pennies that it will take some time to get used to.

Thanks to everyone who works so hard on these threads, I've found this one really motivating in the last few months and have managed to save in advance to pay some big bills that we had coming up. This meant that other problems such as needing a new kitchen tap and repairs to the roof were able to be paid out of our normal income rather than causing a mini-crisis.

Today I am going to add £9.70 in multi buys, £3 off total spend coupon and £2.40 off my fuel. Didn't quite make target but roll on April.

MrsCautious

Congratulations cte1111 sounds fantastic, good luck with the new job.

Haven't been on here for several days so it looks like I've got a lot of reading to do.

This month has been a hard slog and I am not looking forward to next month as I feel I may have been a bit ambitious.

Today - £21.12 cashback from card and mileage payment received of £132.30.
Thanks to all - you got me there again.
