    Just converted £8 of tesco clubcard vouchers to £24 at Ask Italian for our holiday in a couple of weeks.  So am adding that to the total as I have saved £24.  Also received the £5.58 from Prolific, wow that was quick.  That's a total of £306.80 this month.

    Another small payment from PFC means that I have finished on £165.50 for the month. I was only in the Uk for half of it so I’m counting this as a win.

    Of that I made an extra payment of £80.91 to my SIPP so I’m happy with that.

    My bank switch has been completed but no cash reward yet so hopefully that is £200 to carry into July and I have just finished getting to level 15 on Family Island which is on offer for £30 on Swagbucks. It was quite quick to do, but I think you would need to start today to get it at 3000sb.

    Thanks... having gigs again is helping a great deal. I never realised how much the extra cash helped until the pandemic stopped me doing it

    I’ve crept up to £190.01 with eBay, prolific, Curious Cat and bank interest among other things. Not been anywhere near as active on CC, ebay or Prolific as have been busier with work, so that’s good news apart from what’s counted here! My target was £155 so very pleased to have done it. 

    A little bit of Cashback in there as well. Well done to everyone however much extra they’ve managed. I’m loving my total has the penny I picked up in the Post Office yesterday when posting parcels!

    Some great totals this month :)

    I finished the month on £106.56 so pretty far short of target, but onwards and upwards for next month.
