    Another Ebay fiver from a couple of items. Hm.

    You a teacher, SC? Not a job I would ever fancy, tho w/my degree it's prob the only way I could make decent money. On the whole I prefer being skint and a quiet life.

    Need to find that Feb thread, although I'm not expecting to do anywhere near as well as I'll have so much going on! But will give it a good shot - good luck everyone else.

    My final push for the month was one matched bet, which made a profit of £68.69.
    Also a mystery shop yesterday for £10.00
    Survey today 75p

    Total for 28-29th Jan: £79.44 ~ Total so far: £842.57.

    Averages £29.05 per day - just need one final push to try for the £30 a day (is that greedy?!) - need to make £87.42 in the next two days, which is £44-ish a day. Must try another matched bet tonight. I'm still £1000-ish short of the amount I need for the house move, so need to keep going!

    £7.87 for me to add today, but have now exceeded £600 so am more than chuffed to say the least. Have already committed myself to the February challenge - yikes!!! Not meaning to be a pessimist but even if I don't make the £290 for Feb, everything is an added bonus, isn't it.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Hi All

    Been a bit busy with one thing and another, have managed to raise £280.17! Was thinking I'd be lucky if I managed to save £5 a day so exceeded that so happy - did save more but had to buy things but had some great discounts on the spending.

    Will join you in May as I'm moving house / new job in Feb and on holiday March / April.

    Keep up the good work everyone.
