    Hello, #14 checking in with £541.05 for January. 

    This is made up of various sums including 

    eBay sales 
    Prolific and Curious Cat surveys 
    One fast-food mystery shop.
    Cashback 
    Hunting high and low for ‘roadkill’ at home, including an old fiver and £11 in old £1 coins 
    Bank interest 

    I’m terms of freebies, I’ve enjoyed keeping a list (yes really🤣🤦🏻‍♀️) but haven’t added a value to this total or anything, but these include:

    Various classic M&S clothes from my mum, which I’ve either very enthusiastically started to wear, or put on eBay.

    Various chocolate bars, snacks, little treats that have been sent my way with lovely people I work for or with. 

    Will continue in a similar way in February, should get a good boost with FD switch fee as that will be due.


    Thanks and good luck to all.

  • Number 28, last few additions for January bar maybe some interest due.

    So......

    Curious Cat - £4.02
    Swagbucks - £5.00
    Top Cashback - £10.00.

    January total now at £407.88.

    Never would have thought I'd get anywhere near that, even allowing for the belated switch payment.

    If I can get between £150-£200 next month that will be more than satisfsctory.
