Hi
Just a quick update for this month.....
I have made another £20.20 this week on ebay......
Also £4 on a £2 scratchcard so £2 profit.....
And lastly a £100 gift voucher from M and S for opening a M and S bank account....yeahhhhhh:):)
So that's a total so far this month of £134.40 for which I am very proud of myself...
Hopefully this month I will meet my target of £5 a day
£134.40/£145
Good luck to everyone and thanks for letting me be part of this challenge xx

Thank you Aesop

Any advice on anything I could be doing to go towards my earnings. Maybe something more successful than others?

Do you have a smartphone/tablet?

Any books/cds/dvds no longer watch/listen to?

Any used stamps/coins?

Any broken ghds?

Any old clothes/shoes?

Do you do survey sites?

Evening all! Not as much happening this weekend as I had hoped, but a few small successes giving me a new total of £87.70:

60p one pulse app (I actually cashed this out accidentally. Sausage fingers anyone!?)
£11.48 Topcashback

Another $8+ cashout from clix but won't know how much exactly till it lands and the $ exchange is factored in.

The big one however, was that HMRC have sent a letter regarding the horrible phone call I endured about DD2s child benefit and the loss/discovery of her birth certificate. After giving them the details of the call, they reviewed it for me and agreed that it was so poorly handled, I should be allocated an additional payment of £60, yes SIXTY POUNDS!!

I nearly keeled over! HMRC giving money out that they don't have to?!?! Its like getting blood out of a stone usually! Says a lot for how dreadfully the advisor treated me really.

Anyway, it hasn't landed yet, so will try to contain myself until it does, but is it ok to include this do you think? To be fair, I feel like I blinkin' earnt it

Hope everyone has had a successful and profitable weekend

I'm not doing so well folks. I'm on £30 for the month which is way down on my £5 per day target. I've found survey sites are slow for me at the moment - no new surveys coming up or getting zoned out due to eligibility. I'll put this month down to experience but I do have a few bits to add to the Bay this week so fingers crossed for a little more money. I did get some unused stamps from old envelopes which I used to post a couple of Bay items, and I'm doing a copper/5pence collection mug too. I joined swag bucks but not sure if it's for me...you need an awful lot of points to get anything back? Hope everyone had a good weekend :beer:

You can potentially earn £5 a week but it depends how much time you have for it and how much you enjoy doing their surveys. There are 2 threads dedicated to swagbucks. Have a read and you may pick up some useful bits.
