    Hi there
    I'm waaaaaaaay behind with this challenge :eek: but today I did a mystery shop with a company I haven't used before and I've got 2 more lined up for next week so it'll bump it up a bit. I've added the £9 I earned today but I'll leave next week's until I've done them. I'm also gonna bite the bullet and put a load of stuff on ebay (oh God, the hassle!!!!).
    Let's start again (really need a kick up the bum now) :wall:

    Whey Hey!

    I did it! Made my it through the barrier with another two weeks to go thanks to cashing in my free barclay stockbroker money that I subbed to in June last year and has been sitting there waiting for me to ring up and claim. Can't believe that was the easiest £200 I have ever made. Anyway here is my breakdown and how I did it.

    Quidco.......................... £26.74
    Bingo Signups................ £36.35 (closer and daily record)
    Matchbet...................... £41.51
    Ebay sales.................... £16.55 (sold some old textbooks)
    Morrisons Discount...........£9.36 (used son's 10% discount card)
    Barclay Money...............£200.00

    Total is £331.60!

    Going to keep going as in the olympic challenge as well. Need this for motivation or I wouldn't do anything!
    £2021 in 2021... £253.86/£2021

    Made enough for another voucher on pigsback!!
    but only clicks and slicethe pie to go with it. In charge of flowers for a colleague tomorrow so may investigate quidco for that.
    By the way M&S, Morrisons, Boots and many more take luncheon vouchers off your shopping, but pinecone will pay via Paypal now.
    Off to check toluna'cos I thought I had to get to £12 to get a voucher

    Got a mystery shop payment of £60 and a cheque for surveys for £25.68 today so have broken the £5 a day target.
    Since it's only halfway through the month, I'm gonna try for the full £10 now

  • another three books away on Amazon today (will post tomorrow)

    Also, not going to add it cause did nothing to deserve it but so amazed. Was with a friend tonight and she knows am going through hard times and gave me a lovely card.....with £150!!! Didnt want to take it, am too proud (in a bad way) but it was so genuine and I did appreciate it so those who remember I need to make my challenge to pay the mortgage, this has helped massively.
