    Hi,

    I'd love to take part again. Please pop me down for £10 a day again. Did another car boot yesterday so will post the total from that later today and I managed to sell something on Gumtree this morning. Will post when that is collected.

    Trying to make a bit of an action plan today of what I can do while I am back at work.

    Here's to a good month everyone!
  • A big welcome to the new members:)

    Hi to all the regulars:)

    Here's to a successful month for us all:beer:

    Off the blocks with £8 interest payment from TSB and £45 refund from a club trip that didn't cost as much as expected. Good luck everyone

    May I ask how you all work out your totals please? This is my first time doing this challenge, so all hints are very welcome.

    Do you keep running totals such as as doing a 16p survey here and a £3 survey there? Or do you wait for when you cash out on survey sites and things like Neobux?

    Thank you

    A very warm welcome to the challenge, autumnleaves:). Whatever you want to know along the way please just ask. There's usually someone who can help:T


    To answer your question, it varies really but I think Aesop would say that we should add the money when we have actually received it. There have been cases of survey and other sites failing to pay or going bust:eek:. People often tend to mention details of their progress such as doing a £3 survey but don't add the cash to their total until they cash out.

    I never count anything until I have it so, for instance, if I sell a book on Amazon I don't count it until Amazon's payment has reached my bank account which could be 4 days after I actually post the book to the buyer. I know Amazon won't go bust:rotfl: but it's just a case with me of not counting anything until I have it in my bank or hand.
  • Finally stopped lurking and decided to give it a go. Will join swag bucks later!

    Same here, I don't count it until it's in my sticky mitts. And I don't count vouchers until I spend them as they have a nasty habit of running out.
    Good luck on your first go AutumnLeaves - you might surprise yourself!

    Hi and welcome.
    it is best to give totals when you have cashed out otherwise you will get confused.

    if you want to do a running total for yourself on a post that is fine but don't make it your £10 until in your hand.
