£9.62 today:
11p nectar points
nectar voucher (counting it now 😃)
£1.06 CC
£3.95 eBay
Tiny bit over £400 and inching towards my target of £465, depends on whether buyers like the look of my stuff on eBay these last days of the month, it’s a mixed bag for sure.3 -
£6.91 today taking me up to £94.98/£155. Hopefully things will pick up and I'll get there.

£10.45 today, including from
£1.03 CC
60p in change from tidying up and really hunting.£5.56 Prolific payout. (Got £12 still in there, fingers crossed it’s paid by end of month.)
still to come I’m hoping for:
Another £10 before end of month from CC and Prolific.A couple of quid from Cash for Clothes if I ever get there.£7 payout due tomorrow for a mystery shop
£10+ from EBay
That would bring me a tiny bit over my target of £465, £15 a day for January. I was going to add a few more things to eBay tonight but they can wait now I hope my target is in reach.I’m at £428.282 -
£16 as ebay sale paid out so £258.90/£310
hopefully a Facebook sale will bring cash today ..Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!1 -

£29.92 today taking me to £458.20, so I’m under £10 to go to target, it’s been a slog!This comes from
eBay sales paid for after fees
mystery shopping payment of £7, not got any more booked as I had 3 for this week but they were all taken away due to a mistake by the company. (They would have been £45 but looked ridiculously complicated.)
£5.68 payout from Prolific that came through really late at night, 13p Cashback and £1.11 from Curious Cat.I have some interest in eBay items ending on Sunday so they should take me over target.I was going to rush more through this month but they can wait now.I’m not setting my target this high again, maybe £5 a day in February 😬2 -
At last £11.81 to add to my total from a mixture of Prolific and a tint bit of Quidco Cashback3
-
Just £2.07 today from Qm/e. P/fc still being very slow and what is in there is not approved yet. Got some things to sell still and a few more "irons in the fire " as they say, so fingers crossed it improves before the end of the month.Making the debt go down and savings go up
