    Made another £20 tonight :D two hours babysitting for disabled boy whilst his mum escaped out for a break.

    Takes my total to £232.85:D

    Think I must be the only person here who finds ironing very relaxing:eek: :o

    Just been onto quidco and opened an online savings account with hsbc for my interest beater cash, so should have another £20 tracking for that soon. Won't add it though till it hits my bank account - may take a while:rolleyes:

    Really interesting thread, will most likely join you all once I have decided what amount I will be in for.
    Are things like surveys, ebay and market researches able to be included?
    Thanks

    As long as it's legal and surplus to your normal earnings then, in my book, anything goes. All we are trying to do is make up for lost interest on the money we spend over the year :)

    Sophiesmum, were there any terms & conditions for the HSBC account? I'm off to check what's available elsewhere whilst I remember. I think I'm going to end up needing a financial records book to keep tabs on all my account details! That way, if anything untoward happens, someone can track all my accounts! :rotfl:

    I found it on topcashback too but when I started to fill it in, there was nothing that covered my job - it asks for employer and job title etc with nothing to suit - I'm self employed. Guess I'll need to miss out on that £20 :(

    It was esaver account I opened and it didn't go into too much if I remember correctly.I'm not working so there couldn't have been a prob.Try going via quidco and see what happens.

    Count me in too. Hmm target i think will be £235 of baically the interest earned on an ISA.

    I think i will do it with a combo of my search funds, daily clicks and anything else anyone suggests. I'm on maternity leave so i have time between naps to spend online doing stuff but can't physically go out to work.

    Baby is due middle of july so I have 3 months to go. I finish my 'real' job at the end of may to spend a little one on one time with my 18 month old :eek:

    Two kids close together sounded a great idea when hubby suggested it now I think we are mad :rotfl:
