    Morning all,

    First day of the challenge! Feel like I'm off to a good start, having a cuppa and catching up on some surveys before heading into town for a MS.

    Out of curiosity do mystery shoppers add the fee to their total on the day of the shop or on pay day?

    £2.50 spent in nectar points today. Five items up on eBay and one bid already!

    ETA: £2.00 Amazon vouchers used. Bit of double counting as moving to counting vouchers as I spend them as they're not worth anything unused! It's not as if I count this money towards anything in particular, it's just motivating to know that I'm saving X amount.

    Just spent ages on the phone to PayPal (and their bloody awful voice activated menu!!) to get into my old account as Crowdology has reached cash-out point and won't let me send it to my current paypal account. Got that sorted and then Crowdology decided its payment thing was down!

    Mystery Shopping (and everything else). I don't add in any money until I actually have it, just in case.

    Day One and I just hit target with an Amazon book sale, £10 after P&P. It has been an exceptional day with One Poll also - that garnered me £1.85 but best of all I received a letter from Barclay's saying they will freeze all interest on my outstanding CC debt for the time being. That is a great start to my self-managed DMP... I just hope the other two creditors are as co-operative/kind. :D
