    Just to quickly update my total:

    Yesterday got money for bed sold on Ebay. £53, rounded up to £70 including delivery. I won't count the delivery charge even though it's somewhere we were going this week anyway, but will add £53 to my total!
    4 more Ebay vouchers x60p =£2.40
    +£2 survey =£57.40
    Total so far: £438.00!

    Welshgirl, sounds like your idea has been very popular! I can do matched betting although not an expert and I'm not very good at explaining things quickly (Karmacat will vouch for that I'm sure!)

    I can vouch for the fact that you explain things *well*!
    so if you do decide to have a group thingy then I'm happy to join in, just in case it helps any to have someone else there at all? Like all the other over-30's here though, I'm not on MSN at the moment (just never had the need, but I'm proud to say I do know what it is!)

    Over 50s, anyone? Anyone? I don't have it installed either at the mo, I did have skype but uninstalled that, its not really my thing not to have choice about when I chat and when I don't.
    and don't know from one day to the next if I'm about to move house/have a baby, but don't see why any of that should stop me!

    You are amazing, you really are! I can't believe how strongly you manage to keep going.

    I've got a busy day ahead on other things, and won't be able to do any dfw work today, but a good amount of it is paid work anyway, so I don't mind too much. I'd rather be sitting on the computer nattering here tho! Hope everyone has a good day.

    Am about to go and google msn, so may pop back later. An update for today.. £23.06 to add - a bingo win and some free vouchers used. Thought i'd lost the thread for a minute - page 4!, though its been a really good month for everyone keeping it going, I find it really motivating to hear how well everyone is doing and to glean ideas from you all.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    £20 lost to the grabbing *******s at Smile, and a quid made on Amazon. I'm going to have to rethink my pricing policy.

    Had a bit of an odd month family illness etc, but have made some great savings. Total for month is £367. I can't believe it and I cant wait to have a go next month.

    I have to finish for this month because I am going to mum and dads for a few days as they have been in hospital.

    So PLEASE add me to next months challenge. Many Thanks:D

    Wishing all the best for your mum and dad. Don't know how old they are but it's amazing how resilient old geezers can be - my mum had a major op not that long ago and now she's dragging my auntie out to the pub most days!
