    I manage to sell more when I come to my mum's as she lives in a big city. We live more out of the way. I just bring the stuff with me when I visit her and more often than not sell at least one item.

    That's a great idea:T. I'd better have a think if I know anyone who I could 'use' IYKWIM:)

    Feeling pumped for September - just need to remember to keep the momentum up!!

    Swagbucks target met for the day (cheated a bit by not submitting my Swago board until today - so that was 200 points right there). Also did a load of surveys on My Survey last night, so just 110 points away from a £5 voucher on there. £1.50 survey done on You Gov this morning too.

    Mini challenge for the first week of September - earn £50 on Textbroker. This will be tough. I'm working this evening (5-8) and tomorrow afternoon (2-8). We've got the carboot Sunday, so that's the morning gone. I am off work next week - but so is my OH, so I'm not going to get as much done as I would on my own.

    It's not so much the writing of the articles, it's getting them. You have to be really quick, which means sitting at my laptop refreshing the page and grabbing whatever I can. I reckon I'd have to do around 10-15 to get the £50.

    I'll give it a go!!

    Thanks CBC :)

    I've managed to do one since I posted, but it was only worth around £3.50. Also done a Prolific survey for £1.25.

    Another one written, and I'm up to around £8.50. I've also got another one to write. Might get it done before work. I'll be pleased if I can clear £10 on my first day :)

    Thanks INOD - I'm not too far from a £5 voucher on there. Will hopefully manage that today.

    The Textbroker challenge isn't going well. I had to give up that last article I got on Thursday as they wanted all of these weird keywords put in, and it just wouldn't have made any sense. So, I'm still stuck on £8.50. I tried to get some more articles yesterday morning, before I went to work, but there was nothing :(. Still want to try and get as close to £50 as possible. I reckon it could be done. I worked out if I got £50 a week on there, it would add up to £800 by the end of the year :eek:. That would nearly clear my gas bill arrears. Will have to bear that in mind.

    My faith has been restored!! I've just picked up a huge article on TB. It's worth between £16 and £21, depending on how many words I write. I'll try and get this done today, but by the end of tomorrow at the latest :j

    Swagbucks target met and a £5 voucher has been claimed.

    At my mum's now as I'm staying over before the carboot tomorrow. Not that it looks hopeful, as it's chucking it down at the moment.

    Going to try and get the TB article done before I go to bed.
