    Hi everyone :wave:

    I'm back again. I'm going to aim for £5 a day this time. I haven't quite got the hang of this yet ;)

    A good start to the month is that I got the payments from We Buy Books, Music Magpie and notification from Zapper that a cheque is the post. WBB and Zapper paid me exactly what they quoted. Music Magpie paid me 60% of what they quoted. Note to self - don't use Music Magpie again :(

    I'm still waiting on notification of a payment from Momox.

    Total received so far (including cheque that's in the post) is £89.07. So that's my first amount towards this challenge.

    I have 7 items ready to list on eBay tonight. Listings all prepared and uploaded ready to start early evening tonight.

    Good luck everyone :)

    Just a quick question for you lovely peeps as I'm a newbie.. does gift cards and gift money count towards extra income?

  • Hi everyone. Hope you're having a lovely Saturday.
    I've done some surveys today which has earned me a little bit towards this challenge. Not going to list the amounts though until I reach the cashout threshold.
    I did receive a £2.50 voucher for my regular Supermarket which I will use top pay for part of my weekly shop. Will put the £2.50 I've saved by using it into my savings account. So that's £2.50 down, £307.50 left to find! :)

    Quick question ..... if I also use the nectar points that I currently have to contribute to my weekly shop tomorrow then does the value of them count towards this challenge? I'm guessing they must provided I transfer the cash that I would have spent into my savings account?
    Total Debt April 2017 = £98086.93 :eek: May 2017 paid back £678.63/£97943.93 or 0.69%
    Short term financial goal :-
    Clear £7107.78 of high interest debt (includes clearing overdrafts)
    April 2017 £0/£7107.78 paid. May 2017 £678.63/£7107.78 paid (9.54%)
    Weight loss goal:- Lose 30lbs by Christmas 2017 April 2017 1/30 lbs lost

    Starting the month of with £12.32 from survey sites may be a slow week as me and the DH are off together for the week and got a busy week planned so will probably have to play catch up next week :D

    Evening all

    Brilliant money-making already :dance: :dance:

    Hope your poorlie DS soon spot-free Aesop.

    I've had a lazy day today as it is our anniversary, so spending some time with DH instead of on the 'puter.

    We had one of MnS £10 deals, which actually was rather good for ready-made. We've had a film night thanks to the amazing site prime (which DH bought so he could watch the awful car series) and topped off with a good bottle of wine I had saved from the 'naked' people special offer.

    Rather a good day despite the terrible grey and damp outside, which wasn't conducive to a walk to the pub anyway :D

    Hope you all having a good weekend
