    Hi Teacher, have you tried looking into doing surveys for cash or into mystery shopping. I think its on the freebie board where they have a list of survey sites and there's a thread on the debt free wannabe site regarding mystery shopping.

    Thats definitely how i've got my total up.

  • OK, time for an update and confession from me. I should have in my savings account about £120 from eBay and other sales as below, but I had a small crisis, needed to buy some essential stuff, and had to bail myself out by borrowing it. So the total in my savings account is currently nil! :o Am planning to replace it over the next couple of months out of normal wages (with careful spending) so will leave it in for now - but if I don't do that I'll be taking it off my total and giving myself a hard slap! :o

    Anyway, here's where I am (or should be :o )...

    The have/ should or will pay out in time ones -

    eBay/ Greenmetropolis/ other sales - £120.80
    Quidco - £28.62
    Ciao - £6.94
    Mutualpoints - £0 (pays £20 for 3000 points, currently have 1029)
    Yougov - £46.75 (pays at £50 min)
    Lightspeed - £3
    Overtime at work - £70
    Change jar - £1.20
    Total - £277.31

    The probably won't pay out in time ones -

    Pureprofile - £11.35 (pays at £25 min)
    Home of Research - £3.85 (pays at £20 min)
    Itsyourview - £12 (pays at £50 min)
    Total - £27.20

    Bad squirrel :o
    Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012.

  • Well I've got my total up to £210.88 from renewal of my car insurance and breakdown through quidco, and more daily clicks, and amazon. I still think I'll be hard pressed to get to £1000, but every little helps! Good luck all xx
    March 2016 - £178,914.59; July 2017 £146,160.38
    Mortgage end Sept 2043; Target - pay off by March 2022, now Sept 2021
    Target balance July 2018 £112,560

    Not been on here for a while and haven't had much time to do any money saving.

    Sold a book on Amazon today for a £20 profit so was pleased. My current total stands at £401, will update my signature when i can but must go and complete my end of course assignment for O.U, which i keep putting off!

    Well done to everyone so far.

    :wave: Hey lovelies!

    I've gone off the boil a bit on this. :embarasse

    I had a couple of parcels go missing on eBay - and I hadn't sent them Recorded... :doh: plus I had a lady on Amazon who said she didn't actually want those things she bought and paid for - her kid had done it... so I've been starting to get that :wall: :wall: :wall: feeling!

    I've done a bunch of mystery shops but they haven't cleared to my bank account yet, neither have my Paypal funds.

    (and I did buy a couple of books on eBay out of my profits as well. :o )

    So no actual progress to report really, but all @r$e kickings welcome! :D

    Love Jacks xxx :D

  • Hiya guys - just dropped by to see how you are all doing. Keep going it's amazing what we can all achieve collectively.

    I'm also looking at this thread as due to a few unexpected bills I need to make some money quick sharp.

    I have lost half a stone on my new diet so shedding pounds in one way but hoping to gain some pounds in another.

    Hi all,
    Well I have been doing extra work of an evening. Not sure how much this will make - will add to my total when I get paid for it (probably mid Nov)
    I have sent for £15 worth of vouchers from Pigsback, when they arrive will use them for Xmas pressies and add the money to my bank account. I am getting bored with daily clicks - Kelko seem to have stopped tracking fopr me, but have made a few ££ ordering DD's travel insurance through Quidco. (Kicking myself as I could booked her accomodation through there as well but didn't noticed untill it was too later) Anyway will update sig when money arrives. Keep up the good work everyone.
