I appreciate I'm late in starting this month, but please can I join? We moved house (to a much more expensive place :eek:) and the credit card bills and overdrafts have been jumping again! Need to get back on top of things before they get on top of me and had lots of good ideas and lovely support on this thread before.

I'm in for £10 a day please

Added you, good luck for the month!

Not having a very good day feeling thoroughly deflated and despondent especially as had to dip into my little (and I mean little) savings pot.

Massive hugs. You can and will do it. Take a breather, go make a nice drink and sit and jot down all the ideas you can think of to make extra money and what you need to do for them. That'll give you some focus at least.

***********************************************

3 items listed on eBay tonight - the angle grinder I won, some Molton Brown goodies and some Lego Friends I got from a boot sale for 50p. I'm really hoping for some good sales. I might do one more before bed.

I've also been approached by someone wanting to collaborate with me about lease cars - I'm not sure how much to charge so I'm going to chat with them tomorrow and see what their budget is.

Thanks Emmaget and Aesop.


Sold two items on ebay earlier for £10 and have just listed a few more. Fingers crossed.


Up to date on all surveys on bzz agent, my survey and valued opinions.


Joined TCB as was only using Quidco and can now compare offers.
Tried pinecone but still cant get it to go through. Will try again tomorrow.


Earnt few pence on QMEE will cashout tomorrow and then add to total.

Thanks Emmaglet will have a look


Have been having a long standing issue with my current account and today they have made a compensation offer of.... £650!!! very pleased not counting it as part of this challenge as want to keep my momentum going and give myself a goal to beat in June that will be realistic and based on what I can do normally but so pleased and will be put to good use on my debt free journey.


Another piece of good news is that a family member has very kindly donated all of their old records to my ebay pile and from a quick look on ebay prices seem to range from 3- 20 each for those that I have. I have around 150 records to go through and have only researched those that I thought likely to be most popular like Elvis, Queen, Elton John, John Lennon etc. Will be great fun to go through listing them all and will keep a tally of how much I make from them.


Had a lovely swim with my little princess - we hire a local private pool for an hour every Thursday (its actually cheaper than taking her to the public pool as only £7.50) and its literally just my mum and I in the water with her as we have it all to ourselves. We have lots of fun splashing and playing games and come out totally relaxed. It really is lovely.


Off to cake decorating class later I am self employed designing projects for craft magazines and running my own little wedding/gift business and love anything creative. Hoping that in the longer term I will be able to add cakes as another self employed source of income. In this house cake gets eaten far to quickly for anyone to actually notice the decoration!


Hope everyone is having a lovely and productive day. Looking forward to reading all the updates later.

Loads of good news in that post, and the pool sounds like great fun! I love swimming, I think you've encouraged me to go swimming tonight.

My exciting news for the day is that I've launched my website that is similar to BubbleWS. I'm slightly terrified that it doesn't work, but I've done as much research and testing as I can, the only thing to do now is to run it and see whether I make anything from it.
