    Hi Everyone, hope you're having a good start to the shiny new month.

    I have a few things coming in £3.23 from betfair, from a quidco cashback no brainer that I deposited and then won on, now just waiting for the cash back.

    Also £25 from mystery shopping and £6.03 from some small ebay sales. So a good start but I'm away from home for a wedding in a couple of weeks and then im away during the last few weeks of the month so need to get a head start, pull my finger out and get listing on ebay.

    Im away at a physio and rehab clinic that I chose to subscribe to through work, although payroll c@cked it up and never took the payments, so I was initially turned down. I challenged it and after a bit of pressure they admitted their mistake and payroll are paying the £1.5k for the treatment! I would never have argued it had it not been for the lessons I've learnt through MSE!

    Good luck everyone x

    Hi everyone, I'm back. I've updated the challengers - if I've missed you off then please just let me know.

    The time off has been great - the wedding not so much as they run out of food by the time my table was called - 50 mins after my fiance's table (he was the best man) so I was pretty grouchy. But we made up for it the rest of the trip, meeting up with so many friends on our way to Chester and whilst there. Slight problem with ants in our room on the last night, and the hotel didn't even comp us breakfast or anything, so I need to add "sending a complaint letter" to my to do list.

    The downside is that we spent so much money. Plus last week I found an amazing deal on Florida flights which I booked on credit card to give us a month to pay - they were in the sale and if I didn't get them then they'd be £150 extra each. Ouch. And we have another wedding this month. So it's a real stretch this month.

    I've set my goal for £15 per day, but once all the transactions have come through on the credit cards tomorrow, I may adjust that.

    Hope everyone is well x

  • Congratulations Mavvy :j.

    Emma, I'd be devastated if that was my wedding and we ran out of food :eek:. Glad you had a good time overall though Xx

    I'm thinking I may count as I go as my wages are full of enhancements for varying shifts / hours it's too complicated to work out at the end of the following month. I'll decide come Thursday.
    Thank you to both of you for your advice; it's very much appreciated. H
    I count mine as I go along otherwise I'll just get in a muddle :rotfl:
    Skidding in at speed, late but here - put me down for £5 a day again, please :)
    Kicking off with £4.78 from Ebay and £2.19 from the A$da Price Guarantee - £6.97 so far.
    I did manage to build a website to stick everything else on during April despite things being pretty chaotic round here, and am still putting the odd thing up there too. Every little helps.
    I've had that in mind for a while now and am glad I've got it done out of the way because it means I can concentrate on my Big Idea, which I've already made a start on. :)
    Wondered where you were hiding :rotfl: but see you've been busy. All sound exciting - wish I was near as I could do the typing for you :)


    Looks like you're all making a good start for May :T


    I did a small MS today and a couple of surveys so that's £15 for the pot. I will have to update my signature for the month tomorrow.


    Hope you all have a fantastic Friday
