Well done on the eBay sales, i entered a few comps to try and sell the prices lol, i am off work tomorrow though will enter loads more

Instead of entering loads, what i do now is enter comps ending the next day. Theres a sticky on comp board that changes everyday listing the comps that are ending the next day. That way i dont miss any, instead of going through the hundreds listed.

Thats a good idea, will do that tomorrow

Hey all,

Another hot day here! Done just 1/2 hour overtime today.

Ive done my daily clicks, including the scratch card where i got 50p today! Im really anoyyed though as i wanted to go through wepromiseto cashback site and get £40 cashback on jackpot joy for a £10 wager. I logged in today to see the cashback has gone down to £20 now but i think i will still have a go coz one person on comps board won over £300 on there!

My paypal money has gone into my bank account today £100 is OH's for what i sold for him and £30 for me.
Its half price listing day 2moz on ebay, i have 2 sets of rear lights just sitting in the shed i might sell it i can find out how much postage they will be. OH is thinking of selling his PS3 as ever since he completed GTA he doesnt use it anymore and games are ££££ for it! I think he should keep it to keep us amused when we move out though!

The tickets just sold on ebay for £35.20!! And the buyer has paid straight away! So ive just withdrawn the money from paypal £63.84...not happy about the paypal fees again though.

I also found £2 in my betfair account so i withdrew that into my account.

So totalling up my money

£472 In ISA & bank account
£10 cheque i won
£63 paypal from ebay sales
£2 betfair
£7 coins to pay in bank (will pay in 2moz)

Total : £554:j Thats just over half way to my challenge of £1000 by end of August!!

If i keep up my no spending any of my wages i think i can do it!
Ive worked out that with my basic wages i will have £526 on my last payday of the month after deducting my mobile bill. So if i carry on not spending any of my wages i will crack my challenge and go over!!
Plus i know i will be doing extra hours this month because of the V2008 i will need to go in on a saturdays.

Im feeling super motivated at the momenmt so im off to think of more money making ways.

Afternoon,

Ok first off i got my pay slip today and i have earned and extra £19 after tax for the 4 1/2 extra hours i did this week (our pay goes wednesday to wednesday) so thats cool. It doesnt get paid into my account till monday though so i wont transfer anything into my ISA yet.

When i got home i had a WEM (winning email message) to say i had won Motorola EQ5 speakers worth £96!!! Here what it looks like http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/16906.htm
There not even out in the UK yet!! Im am sooo happy!:j :j Im not sure i will be selling these though as they will come in quite handy for handsfree in car and music when we go on holiday. But havent decided yet.
My luck seems to be getting better with comps, although some people on here win something every week...big things too!

I just popped to the shops down the road to post tickets and i paid in my £7 coins into the bank. I have a different account i only use to pay in coins at Barclays as its just down the road. I already had £3 i there so after i paid it in inside i went to the hole in the wall and withdrew £10

My A&L saver pin came today but in the letter it says i should of had a letter before this one giving my my customer number....but i havent yet! So i will see if it turns up 2moz as i need it to log in on net to pay £1 in !

Keeping_Motivated

I am so glad you explained what a WEM is... I keep seeing it and thing what is that? Durrr...

Well done on the win, how long in time do you spend each day entering comps? I may start having a go.

Thanks KM, It took me a while to work out what it meant to! Ive cut it down to about an hour sometimes more doing all the comps ending the next day on comping board that way i dont miss any aswell. I always check out the i won, i won, i won board as it motivates me to enter more! Seeing what others win.

Make sure you use Autofill (if you havent got it download google toolbar which has it) saves ages typing in your details to just one click of a mouse!

Hiya,

I have just finished reading the whole of your diary over a few days between discovering lots of money saving things online thanks to MSE forums!

Well done in clearing your debt :T I have found I feel really motivated after getting involved in this site, which is great. I have a huge amount of debt from going to university (and now work in Tesco, great isn't it :rotfl: ) so not aiming to be debt free any time soon, but first goal is to get rid of my last credit card!

Going to start comping, daily clicking, using other links on cashback sites and signing up for survey sites too to try and make what I can for free online. There is so much to read up on and find that I get frustrated at not being able to do it all NOW lol

I shall be continuing to read though and see how things go for you,

Take care,
Debz
