  • £111.50 in Vinted sales and £45 on EBay sales so far this month. Pleased to be clearing old clothes and getting some money for it, although given none of it is for sale at more than I paid for it, it makes me realise how much I’ve spent on clothes over the years! Anyhow, it’s all about looking forward, not backwards now. Determined to save towards early semi retirement. 
  • Afternoon, hope everyone is doing good 

    Sold on Vinted last night £16.50
    Received Monzo referral of £10 which I can share the goodness if interested in copping £10 also
    JamDoughnut has been going good received 55p cashback totalling to £5.90🎉
    Can also share the cashback savviness with you receiving a £3 bonus🙂

    Regarding refer-a-friend offers it may be worth noting that I've mentioned some offers on the first page of the Savings/investment DDs and debit card deposits- An updated list thread as remarks, which could be a way to get a bit of extra money for this challenge.

    The thread contains a list of savings/investment accounts that allow deposits by direct debit and/or debit card, which may also be of use to you if you're planning to make money out of bank reward accounts and current account switch offers.

    Please note that the above thread should not be used to request/exchange referral links/codes as that is not the purpose of the thread. Refer-a-friend offers are only mentioned in case you are interested in using one of the items on the list and know someone who could refer you in order to get a bit of extra money whilst you're at it.

    Additionally I am unwilling to refer anyone via MSE owing to the forum rules so please do not message me requesting referrals as I shall have to politely decline.
