£1000 in four months challenge!!

jediteacher

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to this board and I watched the 2 month challenge.

I would really like to clear some debts and will try for the £1000. :rolleyes:

I work as a full time teacher and mum and don't have time to get an extra job and am not sure how to earn extra cash.

I ebay items and have tried quidco but I don't understand how everyone makes 'free money' from this.

Anyway, would be good to be inspired by all of you as a lot of you did so well on the previous challenge.

Fingers crossed and good luck everyone. :T

Since the start of this challenge I have made;

Ebay: £65.92

Today I received a cheque for £74 for mystery shopping and have accepted two more visits worth £25 to do next week.

I have also been clicking like mad so hope to have a few quid to add to my total on Monday.

Finally, today I got a job tutoring adult education - not a regular income but an income all the same :j

Keep going everyone x

I need to join this!

I need some motivation in order to save some money/pay off some credit cards.

I have £200 and a £500 CC's that I'd love to clear by the end of the year.
So I will aim for £750.

I signed up for Quidco today and already have £1.45 from Whiskas in there.

I have £2.05 in Pigsback although they only tend to pay out in vouchers don't they?

Also:
Ciao - £3.85
Valued Opinions - £3.95
YouGov - £27.75 (£50 min payout)

I have £20 of mystery shopping money from Grassroots coming at the end of the month too.

At the moment:
£57

Hi everyone! Have been away so starting a little late, but my total at present are:

~ £10 in £2 coins
~ £26.70 in Quidco account

... therefore currently at £36.70. I am going to list a couple of bits on ebay tomorrow which I hope to make £40 from. Would love to reach £100 in total by the end of the week, I'll keep you updated!! xx

Hi guys,

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. Hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday, especially now the sun is shining.

I have been doing surveys like mad! My items finished on ebay so i made a little from them and got paid yesterday from some mystery shopping companies so my total is looking better than previously!

I have been looking on the OS board to see if there are any tips on there which can help me save money towards this challenge, i spend far too much on groceries!:o

Total so far:

£56.80 in cash
other monies are pending, will work that lot out later!

Am also not going to count my coin jar till it is full or the end of the challenge which ever comes first.

Well I got the overtime from last month so £60.00 into savings, the holiday pay from 2nd job has just changed the sysyem and reckon I owe them as I took 8 hours holiday earlier in year!!! but should be cleared by next time.am arguing my case though. have nearlly 25.00 on greasypalm so should be paid out in October and 58.00 on quidco (about 7.00 due in Sept) so that will all be going in, Nothing from Amazon yet and about 30.00 on yougov. Got three more £2.00 this week making 12.00, not counted change pots yet. Will be paying the overtime money off tesco card at end of month so hope to clear that in 2 months. Am fighting the urge to go out with a mate tonight cos didnt have anything over from unneccesary spend last week so will ring them in a bit and say I'm nor going

well done everyone and thanks for the inspiration

Hello lovelies!

We've got oodles of fab sunshine here today so I've been photographing stuff for eBay all day - and I've sent Hubby up the lot to fetch it all down onto the lawn and we'll see if any of it is saleable.

(I bribed him with a big fry up this morning!) :rolleyes:

I'm still at £0 so far though.... :eek:

I hope you're all doing well - and also enjoying some lovely (FREE!) sunshine :beer:

Love Jacks xxx

Hiya all feel I've been neglecting you, Mr Welshy is really going on about pulling in our belts so it makes this challenge even more important to do.

today, I got up very early, loaded up the car and went to a car boot - I was stuck in traffic for 30 mins and the car was on red with the temperature being 33 degrees. I finally set up and made £125 in 3 hours - although a nice sum, I have made much more at the last 2 car boots and today I returned home with alot still in my car. So rather than drag it all out I am off car booting tomorrow for a 7am start - on a Sunday morning that is soooooooooo wrong but it has to be done.

I took a £220 mothercare 3 wheeler pram today and tried to sell it for £30 but no takers - I will put in the free ads and hope that someone will buy it - its well worth the money.

tonight I plan to do some clicking

That's a pretty good total, well done welshy, and good luck tomorrow.

I have listed a few more bits on amazon and ebay, and have been making the most of quidco today. Lots of stuff pending but not much actually on its way back to my bank account - made a tiddly £3.90 matched betting today but got £13 ish from bingo that I was only playing to get cashback, so that is better than a poke in the eye!

Keep up the good work everyone x

WELSH-DRAGON_2

back from the car boot I sold some more stuff and my car booting totals for the last 2 weeks (4 car boots) is £710

if I didn't have a migraine I'd be on here tonight, but I am off to have a cold shower and rest my eyes.

hope everyone is keeping up the good work

Welshy x
