    Well done mickey :T :T

    My total is going up slowly but surely - after Quidco and a pinecone survey (so glad I changed to paypal) this week I'm up to £182.57 - way way behind target but it's money I wouldn't have if I hadn't been doing this.

    Also been tidying up my accounts and checking all my OC money is in my special account, had some cash on my desk at home from selling stuff at work and matched up 2 of the boxes but the 3rd no clue where it's from so have put the c.£20 in my money I've found piggy and will add it in at the end of the challenge - my guess is it's for stuff I sold at the end of 2006.

    Did a mystery shop today too, loads on green metropolis, some more things on amazon and 4 things on ebay yesterday too.

    Also trying to get back into daily clicks with cashbag and check survey account as often as possible, want to try and double my total in April :rolleyes:

    Thanks, my promotion is in a new school I was interviewed about 3 weeks ago. The one in my current school wasn't going to be made permanent as the temp headteacher didn't get the job permanently so the person I was covering for would be moving back down to the job I was covering if that makes sense.

    I got a cheque from global test market today, but I've realised I've run out of paying in slips so will have to wait to pay it in! Sold another book on Green metropolis, and done some mystery shops but won't add to the total until it hits my account.

    Well done mickey mouse on reaching bronze. I really need to work out what my total is for this challenge, one of the many things i plan to do now i have two weeks off!

    Well done hope78 on your promotion.

    I've been doing quite a few mystery shops recently and have two planned for tomorrow, so when i get paid it will make my total look healthier. Got paid at the beginning of this month so can finally get back to matched betting. Everyones totals are looking great.
