  • Congratulations to everyone who has posted more earnings this past few days.:T

    Just received £16.76 from books sold on Amazon. Have also posted 2 others which will bring in about £4.20 profit but the money for them probably won't hit my bank account until after 31st:( so will add it to total when I actually get it.

    Roll on November to start again!

    Yes, I'll see you there:hello:

    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
    Well done and congrats :dance: :dance: knew you could do it ;)
    Can I count the cost of something that I would have bought myself but someone bought it for me?
    I think that would be okay if you were genuinely about to buy it yourself.
    I did it :) £505 extra paid off my Mortgage this month :) Got a few more payments in from fb sales so off it went! Am also now up to £12 in my £100 target for survey sites :)

    Very well done FC - brilliant as usual :T

    Well done CarbootCrazy on making it to your goal too - its quite a buzz isn't it?

    Well done all the others coming in over their targets already :T :j :T

    I'm just waiting to see how much o/t I have for this month and bank interest plus some other bits. Don't think I'll make my target though :(

    Be back later
