    haven't posted for a while, but today is reckoning day

    £36 in first three days already reported
    £56 matched betting (free £100 sky bet)
    bit of a bonus discovered (in fit of MSE zeal going through records) I was owed £165.90 on expenses
    £23 on bingo

    Total £281 / target £290

    So unless I can make another £9 today will have just fallen short (grrrr - why did it have to be a leap year)
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    Got my wage slip finally, so I can work out my back-pay now
    Total - £952.23!! Minus deductions of £541.01!!!! Then minus tax, student loan contributions, pension and NI!!!!!!!!!!!!
    In my hand I got £164.25!!! Better then nothing I suppose, though I would have preferred the first figure!! My wages have also increased by £32.33 per month!
    So totals for today
    Wage back-pay - £164.25
    Money found while out walking dogs - 5p
    I think that's probably it for today
    Total for today - £164.30

    Grand Total - £363.36 :D:D:D:D

    I only joined this challenge half way thru Feb, but had been reading the thread since mid December, and signing up to the cashback sites and mystery shopping sites. I'm pleased with the total but most of it was Bingo! Also Quidco are due to pay me £54 in February but they are hopeless in not having paid it, (why do they say 'payment due February' when they have no intention of paying in February? - its all tracked, validated and paid to them) so that will have to go forward to March. I am not counting the £60odd I have in daily clicks, as its all spread out in small amounts across lots of sites and some just don't stand a chance of ever reaching the payout minimum - that's why I don't count the money till its in my bank, because its not 'real' on a click site when I can't actually have it!

    So my final total (Batgirl asked for it in red!) is £392.20
    Because of the amazing Bingo money, without it I know I can only aim at £5 a day for next month - I don't buy lots of things for cashback and have no partner to bulk up the possibilities, such as doubling up on Bingo or buying more stuff for cashback. Two people getting cashback on car insurance is more profitable than one!

    This thread offers lots of support and encouragement and ideas so I am happy to have already signed up for March. Thank you to everyone taking part.:T

    PS - Some of the words in the above are appearing in RED but I only put the total figure in red so why did the other words turn red????????

    When I first started doing this challenge in September the amount of people who posted that "it can't be done", or "how is this possible?" was unbelievable I am sure people thought I was a spam posted and making it up, but we now have so many people who are living proof that it can be done, and also can be done month after month, it gets harder the more you do it but definitely can be done. Well done another shining pupil :cool:
