  • Sorry can anyone tell me where and how I can get an aldi voucher? please ;)
    Sorry !

    I don't know if it's any use to you but there's a £5 off a £40 shop at LIDL voucher in a supplement in today's Daily Mail. You may still be able to get one.

    Valid until close of business on October 31st

    Hi everyone :) I'm not adding anything to my total today as i am trying to keep £500 ticking over in my bank account and i spent £45 on postage of parcels :eek: some on Christmas Pressies for OH :D, bought some groceries and took £20 cash out of the machine en route to my MRI today.

    I now pay anything over the £500 in my account off the mortgage which means i need to add another £50 to it before i can make another payment. I have all my parcels posted from last weeks sales so am planning another blast this week to bump up my total :)

    I have also been working on a challenge to make £100 in 100 days using survey and online earning sites for a week now and am up to £8.50 on that (i have it on bubblews so am earning from posting about it too ;)) Its helping me to start using the sites again as i had stopped doing all that for ages.

    Well done everyone on the fabby totals made so far this month - keep going, there are more ££ out there to nab ;) xxx

    £30 added to my account from winnings today and £11.85 transferred from paypal for fb sales so another £8.15 to go before i can make another mortgage payment.....I am dying to just pay the balance to take me to my £500 target but its more fun trying to do it this way :D I have another box of stuff ready to auction so i might sort the photos today for that, and i have a few things to ebay too. I guess thats my day planned for me then :P

    Happy earning today - i hope you put your extra hour to good use ;) xx

    Wow! I can't believe it but I've done it. :j:j:j. When I started I never thought even my measly £5 a day was possible but thanks to seeing everyone's successes and with your friendly support I've been really focussed on this challenge. I've even passed my target with a few days to go:T

    Since last update 6 days ago I've made:
    • £13.46 profit(after fees and postage costs) selling books on Amazon
    • £5 Love2Shop voucher from a postal survey
    • 50p off shopping till-spit
    • £17.80 from EuroMillions lottery on 17th. Never buy lottery tickets, only bought this one because it was a massive rollover. Put it safe and forgot to check it until last night:o. Matched 2 numbers plus both stars.
    Total: £36.76. (Total for Oct: £172.91/£155):j
    Mustn't get carried away, if it wasn't for my Amazon sales I'd have had a rubbish month:o. Must try harder to find more ways to make money.

    Happy money-making/saving everyone. And Thank You:beer:
