May 2014 - Make £10 a day - everyone welcome

Faete

I'm up for another £5 a day please.

I've kicked off well with a £15 Amazon voucher from surveys and this month's £25 contact lense savings.

£21.21 to add from eBay, plus a priceless smile caused by the lad in the Post Office queue in Tesco Express who was trying at the top of his earnest little voice to persuade his poor embarassed mother to buy a packet of Weetabix 'because it makes you POO, mummy!'

Well finally found time to sit down and sort out monthly budget - don't know where the time goes eh - and edit my signature.


So I've left my household/grocery challenge at £240 for one more month.
Decided £100 is enough to keep in 'bulk buy' fund - which also pays butcher bill once every 2 months.
I've finished paying off the car loan :j
So monies from stopping smoking (7 weeks now), this challenge and any left from hh/gc at end of month will now go into new Savings Fund - will put in 5% account at bank.


Now - We keep getting all this junk mail -promising this, that and the other. Some were letters from one of the insurance co's for over 50's and I was getting fed up with, and was a bit sceptical of, their promises of free gifts for signing up to their 'pay every month until you die and we will cover your funeral expenses' lines. I showed them to DH and we decided to take them at their word and applied, paying £4 each a month.


I did it online - free - and within a week we were enrolled. They stated that the first month was free and then they would start to take the £8 each month from our account. We received all the relevant documentation from them regarding the policies. They phoned me after they took the first payment to see if everything was okay and, when I asked, they said the free gifts would be sent in the next two weeks.


Yesterday two envelopes arrived - one each. Inside mine was £75 in MnS vouchers (undated) and in DH's was a prepaid card loaded with £75 for H**mb**e. So for a payment of £8 we now have £150 = profit £142. There doesn't appear to be anything in their policies to stop us cancelling them whenever we want and the next payment isn't due for 12 days !!! Seems too good to be true eh. :T :dance: :T


Made another £3 on surveys today so whizzing along at the moment.


Hope you all have a savvy Saturday

Just checked my eBay and am eligible for the three-day free listing thingy...

Woohoo. I don't think I'm doing a very convincing job of sounding like I'm not wearing my 'jaded with listing' head here, but will definitely be taking advantage of the promotion anyway I have no idea whether it's another invite-only thing, but thought I'd mention it to alert anyone else half-bothered that if you look in your eBay it might be there

Just signed up to swagbucks and not too sure about it. Reckon it's beginners confusion but do things and get no bucks!

try logging into your account and see if they are offering it to you anyway. some people don't get the email and when they log in, the offer is there.

there is a SB thread on MSE. have a read and you should find you start making SB. If you do surveys and stuff and find they don't credit, you need to email support. if you are on Facebook, there is a sb uk page, you can post on there too.
