Hi @gocurlygirl I can't speak for the creator of the thread @I_Love_comps but I'd imagine you can jump in when you'd like.
I don't have a number, but jumped in early February and I'm keeping track. 😊 
Happy Saving and making!

Hello all, I’m at £1805.23 (number 14) this is from 

ebaying, it’s getting harder!

cashback on credit card

nectar points 

vouchers and cash gifts: birthday and Mother’s Day 

prolific

curious cat

Bank interest 

bank switch to first direct 

cash for clothes 

rewards from hotels.com 

top Cashback 

roadkill including an old fiver and some pound coins around home and pence out and about 

refunds on a dress and jeans I’d had ages 

I’ve not been doing much recently to focus on this due to new work but have posted here to give myself a kick to get going again. I had a big month in February, only aimed for £150 in March and am on £200 so far in April. Hoping to have enough YouGov points to cash out this century, especially with accounts I’ve added through YouGov finance..🤦🏻‍♀️

I don’t count value of free meals/food/other stuff but do love to get a freebie. 

Good luck everyone x

I still don’t have a number but have a few updates
I had a £9.99 refund from a company where I didn’t use a discount code but I emailed and the honoured it anyway.
I bought a glass mug from costa in February, used it loads but retired it as it was a pain then it was recalled so got a £9 refund.
Took my youngest for a McDonald’s, he ate his meal, I had my drink and chips then discovered my burger was wrong so they refunded the whole £11.88, I also won a free milkshake on the drink they refunded but not factoring that in.

My daughter has sold some outgrown leotards and made £85.59 after postage so far.

My April interest amounts are £0.68, £4.81 and £0.42.

This brings my current total to £794.85/£2023.


Somebody had commented a while back that the govt energy help and council tax holidays shouldn’t count. I felt a little like I was cheating by including them but I think everyone has to work things their own way. I don’t include my side hustle earnings so I will have to work hard to make the £2023 without those. So far this year I have £1590 from the side hustle so including that and not the energy or council tax would make this challenge seriously unchallenging for me.

I need to do some survey payouts too but my balances are tiny compared to a lot on here
