    I have just sold a few things on eBay I'm not kidding but I'm not sure the stress and hassle was worth the £5 I made!!, may try it again -steep learning curve may leave that one for a little while, think I have sussed Quidco but haven't actually been paid yet but have about £40 to get if it goes ok. Not bad for NO stress or hassle.

    I fail at the whole spending diary thing. Always start off with good intentions, but never get more than a day or two into it.

    It may be that you're too good at other stuff.

    -Matched betting - just don't get it
    -Spending diary
    -I do quidco and pigsback but not regularly enough, have to remind myself that if I do Quidco everyday it pays the car tax each year.
    -Ive taken on several challenges (money for nothing, and this months August pay a debt off) but have yet to see one through to the end, something always happens to put the dampeners on it.
    -Stopping smoking
