Hi guys,

I wanted to set my self a goal to keep myself motivated after reading so many stories on the forums. I am hoping to raise the money to pay a loads off my mortgage and have spare to get a brand new bathroom.

I am starting my goal with £20 and will spread it across different things. I will update this forums once a week to mention where I am at and what I have done.

Week 1:
Betting: £400.00
Ebay: £29.00 - clearing out old junk
Swagbucks: 380 points made (only started today)
Facebook sales: £25 - clearing out old junk

Thanks for reading and I hope you can all get behind me, If you want to know what I am doing exactly don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks very much,
Andy

    Keep it up and i hope it goes well :-) p.s. would like to know if you find a big money spinner :-p !!
  • Just seen this thread, am very interested to see how you get on with it.

    I regularly read threads about becoming millionaires and I get a lot of inspiration from them even though there's no way I can follow in their footsteps:o. Your target seems much more realistic so I hope to gain some good tips along the way;).

    Maybe you should add a signature to your posts so you can update your totals on a regular basis, such as monthly. That way we can follow your progress and cheer you on:T

    Good Luck:beer:

    £400 in one week seems quite a lot
