    I'm going to admit defeat and drop my aim down to £2 a day, as that might be actually achievable :rotfl:

    I'm hoping that once me and Gentleman Caller have a house I'll be able to do a bit more for this, can't clear out stuff on eBay when it's all packed up and difficult to sort out. Will also spend less time at the weekend driving around the country.

    On the plus side when we do have a house MIL has said she'd like us to help her clear out a load of furniture she's had stored for years, anything we don't want for the house she wants me to photograph and help her list on eBay, with a split of the money made :beer: Just need to find that magical house that jumps out and goes "I can be your home!" before we start working out what we want to put in it.

    good luck, would love to own our own house. one day if I win a competition for a home or a heck of a lot of money!

    Hi please can I join too, £10 a day.

    My main aim from this is to save from cutting down and hopefully packing up smoking altogether.

    well done and good luck with the giving up. :money:

    I hope you all had a lovely Easter break and are already making lots of money this month.

    Just on a flying visit home (where I have internet:j) and have tried to a bit of a thread catch-up. As usual, so much to read from last month too so won't try to reply.

    I hope your holiday was memorable and relaxing, Lynne. Sorry to hear you've had the lurgy since you got back, Get well soon. I'm full of cold myself at the moment, most unlike me as I ail for nothing normally, touch wood.

    No money-making done/possible except an unaccounted for 4 pence:rotfl: which has appeared in my online bank account from GEO something or other. Maybe it's from GeoLotto that I read was closing, I know I hadn't much on there. Every little helps as they say and although I'm not taking part in the challenge this month (but I will be back one day to join in the fun and camaraderie) it means I'm 4p up so far this month:T

    No time to faff about with my signature today, (the formatting took ages:() so all the figures are way out and totally wrong. My Emergency Funds have been totally obliterated for a start but there'll hopefully be other opportunities some day;)

    Have a great April everyone:beer:. Talk to you again, maybe not soon, but definitely sometime:j

    miss you, very quiet on here

    Planned to list things on ebay or facebook today to sell, but chores got in the way. I did buy a magazine for writers with a free competition booklet showing hundreds of writing competitions to enter, so i will enter a few of them.


    good luck! hope you win some of them.

    Got 50 quid off my parents in law as part of my birthday present. My birthday was at the end of march, but i got the money today. I previously was given 160 quid for my birthday, but that was before April, so i am not counting that but i am counting todays.

    So i'm 1/6 of the way there!

    happy belated birthday

    Right challengers updated and I will leave you in peace fora little while lol.

    Yesterday I spent whole afternoon cleaning and decluttering DS's bedroom, cue lots of tears, but it looks lovely now and we have stacked things better and more tidier. Keep walking past and admiring how lovely it looks.

    Did find some items to sell and put some on facebook selling page, but not had any interest, will try another selling page.
