Make £10 a day Challenge - February 2016

lexbubbles

Had a £3 fleabay sale this morning that somewhat mitigated the fact that they refunded £7 to the buyer of that DVD (price + postage which I personally have never understood because I can prove I posted it and spent money on the postage. The paid for service was provided but whatever) so I'm actually only -£4! Hooray! [/sarcasm]

See if I get lucky with RM actually compensating me this time but I'm not holding my breath.

Need to do some surveys now

Hi all.
I've never posted anything on a forum before, but then I stumbled across this one and spent the last couple of hours reading everything from last year to now. I think you guys are amazing!!
I've just started trying to get into this money saving malarkey. I've got £4500 of debt and have only paid the bare minimum on them all for years and I'm determined to start clearing them. I'd also like to start saving for a mortgage deposit (which feels impossible to do while renting but hey ho)
Last month I sold some things on ebay for the first time and after fees I'm £42 up!
I'd like to join you all and do next month's challenge please x

Textbroker has been quite busy today, so I've managed to write 10 product descriptions and 1 article. This should make me £10.40. I spent more than I meant to at the supermarket this morning, might try to do some more product descriptions later to make up for this overspend.

You mean your signature?

Towards the top of the page there's a banner menu that says "main site | forum | userCP | community | new posts | forum search | quick links | log out"

Click on "User CP" then in the menu to the left there's an option to "edit signature". Add whatever you want into there, save it, and it'll show up on all your posts.

Well done on posting and reading the thread - you must be full of info now after reading all that Also its fab to hear you have decided to start working on the debts and mortgage situation :T:T It certainly is doable from this thread alone as it helped me clear my rather more substantial debt than you have now

Do join us for the rest of this month - you will be made very welcome! xx

I popped in to say i managed to add a lovely £16.43 to my virtual account today mainly from surveys/PTC - i waded through about 70 emails to clear them and just kept doing as many as i could. Exhaustimacated again now LOL! Sadly i still have another 50 odd emails to wade through but they are all video info type ones so will watch when brain less frazzled....

Had a couple of sales on ebay and fb as well, but paypal account is on minus as someone submitted a question about item being posted and it turned into a case and held funds (i'm sure the buyer didn't mean that to happen) I even added the tracking info to the case showing it was delivered and its still not resolved as waiting for buyer to respond....sigh i have a feeling i just need to wait for it to not be taken further before it will clear....so nothing to add to actual account just yet!
