    I don't know if this Mystery Shopping company has been mentioned before but I thought it might be a good one for all you challengers!

    They are called Maritz Virtual Customers. To join you need to call 01628 495777. You give feedback over the phone etc none (as far as I can tell) of it is done online. They pay you a fee for the work and you get out of pocket expenses.

    I do not have the time to carry out this work so decided to send the info on to you guys. Hope it helps some of you. Good luck!!

    Hi Everyone,

    I haven't got anything more to add to the challenge (yet) but should get extra job paid by mid next week, am working on some e-books, am expecting some vouchers, have designed a leaflet for dog walking, am setting up a website and have got another business idea in process for an ebay shop. Hopefully will be able to add something to total soon. Am off to do some quidcoing.

    Luv xx

    Hoping the fact that I just found this thread on page 9 is a reflection of the fact we're all working hard and not that we're all doing so badly that we've nothing to post!

    Got a few days to update, and quite a bit more Paypal money through! I last updated my total on the 15th, so here goes:

    16th: £200 from Paypal (checked last night, and nearly all my withdrawals are now in the bank sadly - only a couple more to go!)
    17th: -£10 deposits to collect free bingo winnings. Waiting on several payments.
    18th: £50 Paypal - £1.84 postage, and -£20 free bingo deposits = £28.16

    Total for past 4 days: £218.16. Total so far: £1199.04 :j
    Another £2808.96 to go!
  • I have two items ending on ebay in about an hour both with a few bids so will update shortly
