Earned a £5 amazon voucher through Shopprize, but I am having trouble converting it due to technical issues. I hope I get it soon.

they are saying itis the amazon server not them. they must buy direct from amazon or notify them of where to send voucher.

Don't worry. I laugh at me all the time. If you can't laugh at yourself, whats the point!?!?:o

Another £130 today, selling bits and bobs on Facebook, which takes me up to my monthly total. Suspect I need to up my target for this month!

Wow, that's a brilliant amount for what you call 'bits and bobs':j:T

Prolific is definitely picking up again this week, clearly academics are back to the research now they've finished marking undergraduate exams!

Also written my first 3 pieces for Textbroker! 2 have been accepted, 1 is still pending, but I have to wait for the Textbroker team to review them before I can write more.

Seems like quite a few successes being logged already this month - good to read about and keeps everyone motivated!

Just a few more eBay sales totalling £11.75 to report. Total now £61.08 for the month, so fairly on target at the moment. An expensive few months here what with new roofs, car insurance, MOT, Tax, house insurance and birthdays. I may not bring in much extra, but its still good to feel like I'm helping OH to plug the holes and it minds me to be fortunate that we don't 'need' me to do things like this on the side. I do this because I like to live a simple life, frugally and without too much waste or distraction. There are some poor souls for whom a few months like our last ones, would be crippling.

Not that I wish to seem preachy, but I've actually been a bit of a stress-fest recently and sometimes its good to step back and remind ourselves that there are always people worse off than ourselves in this crazy world. Or, that things are rarely as rubbish as they may seem!

And on the cheery note, I'm off to bed. Yeah I know its early - babies don't like sleep apparently. Who knew!? Night all!

Lovely post, Surfchik:T All of it but especially the bit I've quoted.
I feel exactly the same and although my financial state is dire:o and I have to live frugally rather than choose to I have very good health which is worth more than any amount of money. I know so many people who have everything going for them, an enviously comfortable life with everything they want or need but they have developed serious illnesses or physical problems which prevent them enjoying life to the full.

I'm not religious in any way but not a day goes by when I don't have cause to thank my lucky stars:j

Veeeeery slow, have £3 ready to cash out in Pinecone, have a few things close to cash out but not worth a huge amount. Need to sell a few bits at home, namely the steam cleaner but it's not shifting.

I noticed Florence J mentioned having problems with an Amazon voucher from Shopprize. I hope it's sorted now for you:).

I was having to wait to redeem my £5 Amazon voucher from Just The Answer as each time I tried over about a week they had run out of vouchers and were waiting for more to arrive from Amazon. Stocks have arrived now as I tried again last night and the voucher code arrived within about 6 hours:T.

Have a good day, everyone:beer:

Your target of £1000 for the month looks very doable:beer:
