    Cheers everyone, Ejs, a lot of my money seems to come from mystery shopping and auditing work, don't know where i would be without it. I'm especially starting to do more auditing work as am starting to like it and you can get regular work from it.

    Another £21 for me from mystery shopping paid into my account.

    Could you tell me the best sites for this, determined to get into it but only registered on one that doesn't have much in my area, please help!

    Debt free in 2010 :beer:
    £6551.35 paid so far.

    This WILL be my debt free year! :T
  • Well done folks:D
    I'm going to put £100 in my Rainy Day Savings ( very apt today as that's what it's doing!!:mad: again )
    Stole £330 out of there yesterday:o to pay for a Merlin annual theme park pass, expensive, but will pay for itself eventually & giving it to the kids for their birthdays ( birthdays 1 week apart )
    Started a job middle of last month only 10 hours a week low pay, gave them my P45, but have been taxed both months - must be emergency tax, as have only been paid £140 for 40 hours!! oh well will be nice when I get the tax back, as shouldn't be paying any as wages so low.
    Keep going everyone :T
    Comping again - wins so far : 2 V festival tix, 2 NFL tix, 6 bottles of wine, personalised hand soap, Aussie miracle conditioner :beer:

    In a bit better mood than the other day (sorry guys, trying to get fuel is a nightmare :mad: and its driving me nuts). I've had quite a few sales on Amazon and eBay. £30 landed in my account this morning (back doing the second job but only managed an hour before pay day this week), from bits and pieces including amazon and ebay. Got another £20 due from paypal. Will hold off just now throwing it at my debt (bit skint due to unforseen bills), and see what's left next week. Although it has given me the kick I need to get selling on ebay again. Everything except a lovely M&S soft knit fine wool jumper has sold! Must sort through what I don't wear and get it listed. The bras seem to be selling the best. (Clearing through ones that are too small).
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    I know, every time i think its going quiet, more seems to come along to keep me ticking over. I was gutted though as i saw tgi fridays on one of the companies sites, which was for a three course meal, but had to turn it down as had no one to go with, everyone was too busy:( I'd never been before either!

    Guesty6, i have pm'd you.

    Kizzy, hope you get your tax sorted soon.

    Although i am doing well with the mystery shops i am also trying to keep on top of other things such as the survey sites, daily clicks and matched betting, as all these things together probably make up a quarter of what i earn a month. I think its important not to forget the little things, like surveys as every little helps.

    Anyway, enough of my speech:o I got paid today, so will get any bills paid and then hopefully stick some in the ISA and use some for matched betting. Been offered a free bet for this weekend and have several others to play, so need to get my behind in gear.

    Hope you have a nice day on Sunday Lamarsi.

    Well done everyone for what we have achieved so far..it's a great challenge and really keeps us motivated to find a few extra pennies to pay off the debt.

    hiya everyone just thought i'd let you know been offered £190 of £500 charges of helifax c/c but going for the whole amount and also been offered £1200 comp for a dim wit running into me last year :) that should be mine in 4/6 weeks and paying that of my c/c ... the interest rate is 29.9% !!! anyway that should reduce the balance by half was tempted to have jobs done around the house but until that card is paid off i'm spending zilch! Thanks andan!
