 I have somewhat started matched betting on the horses and I'm doing decently well with that so far. I'm not going to be getting large amounts back with that but every little helps.0

            Number 33 reporting in for July:
 Selling stuff £17.28 (YTD £459.74) - proper dropped off.
 Bank rewards £19.04 (YTD £153.4)
 Surveys £63.60 (YTD £472.88) - my No.1 source of extra income
 Receipt scanning £2 (YTD £93) - just a bad month for timing
 Misc £80 (YTD £300.51)
 Total £181.92 (YTD £1479.53)
 Misc was mostly £70 compensation from TalkTalk when they failed to turn up to an appointment.I’m glad I did this challenge, it makes me account for everything. Along with it I’ve reduced all my outgoings, overpaid my mortgage massively, bought expensive things I wanted (new phone, new computer etc) without getting in debt.
 I think I should beat the target, but I’ll carry on regardless.As a side point, my outstanding mortgage amount dips below my annual salary this weekend, which I’m very pleased at.0

            Another £225 in the pot.
 Have sold off everything we wanted to, so probably not going to make much more, but got to just over £3000, so really pleased! Now, having relocated from abroad, the challenge is to replace things sold, but spend less than what we made.2021 in 2021 = 3005/2021
