    Morning all

    I won't be able to clear anymore from my card until next week now when I get some more Paypal money through.

    I've got a couple of mystery shops today and tomorrow and will be listing more stuff on Ebay on Sunday.

    Have a good day everyone :D

    MIT just read about that on the other thread. So pleased for you - bet it feels great to be able to clear 2 debts.

    Ive got another 20 towards Capital One. OH is hoping to have a good weekend as it was a level results week and its usually busy so hopefully will be able to get some extra there.

    I'm a couple of surveys short of a £15 paypal transfer with Lightspeed -
    I've already got £48 in paypal, so once I get the Lightspeed money, I will be up to £85 for this challenge. I've also been persuaded to give matched betting a try....:eek:.....but I think it will take a while before I make anything from that.

    Everyone is doing brilliantly - we're just over half way through the month, so loads of time left for more money making....woohoo! :T

    I have only got 2 more weeks to pay nursery fees for my 2 little horrors and then dd starts school so will only be paying for ds. I know it doesnt help this challenge but we definately need one for next month!!

    Capital One has near on £100.00 towards it so far although Im hoping I havent taken too much out of the food budget!

    £100.00 to go and thats 2 targets reached this month x
