Not done too badly in July. Recently I've received a referral bonus from Retail Eyes £1.50, and an Rpoints payout of £1.98. I made a little bit on ebay by selling some cat treats our cats have gone off. We won £7.50 on the pub quiz last week, and I've received £20 from Consumer Pulse recently. I had £5 Amazon voucher from Juicy Brains and £37.55 from Gapbuster mystery shopping.

I'm almost up to redeeming on bingoport again so should get another £5 Amazon voucher this Thursday. There should be £1.67 coming from Quidco this week and £10.60 from one of the bingo websites.

I have my first ever audit tomorrow, and a mystery shop for TNS set up for Friday afternoon. One or two of my books are selling on ebay so should make a bit from them.

Over the weekend I redeemed £1.98 on rpoints which I should have on Thursday, and the jobs for emysteryshopper have all been approved so that is £28.50 on its way. I'm still short of £76 by the end of the month and can't see where it might come from. I should get £1.50 referral fee from Retail Eyes any day, I might get £10 from ABAi, £4 from JKS and £11 from TNS but don't know when they are due to arrive.

I've recieved £25 in Amazon vouchers this week, £20 from consumer pulse and £5 from Juicy Brain. We won £7.50 each in the pub quiz, and Gapbuster paid for the jobs done in June.

Not been able to add anything on Ebay today TurboLister seems to have broken. I've emailed eBay about it.

£4.50 arrived in my account today which I think must be from Optimum Contact. I'll know for sure tomorrow.

Consumer Pulse

Well I've redeemed another 10000 points/£10 Amazon voucher from Consumer Pulse today.

I've made about 50p on the free scratchcards, and received £1.50 back from Graze.co.uk because my box arrived a day late.

Nothing I have listed on ebay at the moment is selling which is quite depressing. I'm busy playing bingo in the hope of another redeem from bingoport soon.

Pigsback.com have recently tripled the number of points I have, and tripled the number required to redeem a voucher, but not increased the number of points given for clickthroughs and stuff so I'll give up with them as soon as I have one more voucher.

I'm almost up to £1 on rpoints, and quidco will pay out at least £1.52 early next month.

Not much to report today. I've done the daily scratchcards, and yesterday a mystery shop which will earn me £10. I'm still listing one book each day on Amazon/Greenmetropolis/Readitswapit/Ebay to move them all a bit further towards being sold. None sold recently, but a few swapped. I've been paid for all the bits from earlier in the week on ebay and they've all been posted off.

I'm reviewing car manufacturers websites on emysteryshopper which is fun! Trying to think of questions to ask over the phone...

Well anther 50p today on one of the free scratch cards which means I'm building up to the £10 withdrawl quite quickly. I played a few games on the hi/low game yesterday and managed not to lose anything so that has boosted my total.

I've got a telephone mystery shop next week for JKS, my first job for them.

Yesterday I redeemed £5 on Bingoport so I'll have another £5 Amazon voucher soon. I got quite a few books listed on ebay and Amazon yesterday, and some of the stamp presentation packs I listed on ebay are selling so not too bad at all this week.

My Survey

I've been out of action for a few days having been in hospital. I'm home now and but don't plan on leaving the sofa much in the next few days. Hopefully that will mean I can get some books listed on Amazon, and complete plenty of surveys.
I received a £5 Amazon voucher from My Survey today which I've added to my Amazon account. My Survey is invitation only, and I don't remember how I got invited. Sorry!

One of my scratchcards gave me 60p and the other 30p today so that's not so bad. I've been accepted for a telephone mystery shop by JKS and must do the telephone one for Optimum Contact very soon.

Lightspeed Digital Panel

I was invited to join the Lightspeed Digital Panel over the weekend. I downloaded a small piece of software, none of my virus protection or firewalls objected so I assume its ok. They gave me 100 points for signing up, 50 points every month, and an extra 50 points every other month, so 150 extra points every other month. 550 points can be exchanged for a £5 Amazon voucher, which I've just been able to do today. It says I will also be invited to more surveys for more points.

Not much else to report today.

I've not done very much today, still feeling dreadful with stomach ache, and tired due to the painkillers. I've spent a lot of time working on a new website for my husband: www.rhoshelyg.me.uk hopefully it will gain him some more work.

I've finally got around to listing some more things on ebay - so hopefully some more money to come from there. I've just started on the coffee break list of stuff on Firefox, and I've received 12p interest on my old current account.

I've not had any new money come in today, but emysteryshopper have assigned me three reviews to complete in the next 3 weeks. I've made a start on these.

I've played on bingoport for a while and won a few games so may be able to redeem later in the week.

Other than than I've worked through the list of daily sites on my Firefox Coffeebreak plug in. I'm also planning to have a look at other blogs, and get some ideas for promoting this blog!

Having a good month so far. £12.50 appeared in my bank account this morning, I assume from Grassroots for a mystery shop done last month. I redeemed £5 Amazon voucher on My Survey last night and as I'm off sick today will work my way through all the surveys I've been offered. So far I've completed Opinion People and IPSOS surveys though neither are at payout level yet.

£16.20 arrived in todays post. £10 for a mystery shop last month and £6 Love to Shop Vouchers for doing a postal survey. I've just completed a survey for Thats What I think about films. Earned me 500 points - took 5 minutes and 1500 can be redeemed for a £5 Amazon voucher. Let me have your email address if you want to sign up.

Last night I set up Lightspeed to check it every day for new surveys.

I've also received this months payment from Quidco £103.80, and my "Reward" from Halifax £5 so doing very well for the start of the month

£6.20 arrived from a Retail Eyes mystery shop today. I've not got any mystery shopping lined up, except for a telephone call for Optimum Contact. I'll need to look more into that today.

Also £10 Amazon voucher from Consumer Pulse came in the post.

I've decided to try to list one book on Amazon every day. Some days I might manage more, but 1 a day is a minimal effort.

Not much to report today. The £16 turned out to be from TNS from a mystery shop last month. I saved £1.50 in Tesco by using coupons. I'm feeling so tired that I can't be bothered to do much extra at the moment.

Today I received stamps for the Royal Mail survey worth £8.34 and a presentation pack of flower stamps which I may ebay when I get round to it.
There was double on the scratch cards today so that will be an extra 20p woohoo! I received the £5 Amazon voucher from Bingoport yesterday and £16 arrived in my bank account today though I'm not sure where from yet!

Really must get some stuff listed on ebay this weekend! I've worked through my daily stuff on Firefox, and played a bit of bingoport. Done rpoints.

Well £20 arrived today from ABAi mysteryshopping company for a petrol station job I did earlier in the month, and £1.41 from an Amazon book sale.
High Street Web started working again on Quidco, though it still hasn't tracked since 19th June.

Consumer Pulse

I've claimed a £10 Amazon voucher from Consumer Pulse today. My first voucher and it didn't take long at all. You can't sign up directly to Consumer Pulse, but can register your interest at http://www.volunteer4panels.com/ Then you login at least once per week to record purchases of clothes, entertainment and other things. Each purchase recorded earns you 500 points, and 10000 points =£10voucher.

I wasn't able to access High Street Web via Quidco today, says page not found. Still its only 8p per day down! Still not tracked since 19th June.

A parcel arrived today, a set to make photo cuff links. I've won them on craftbits.com but I think they'll go on Ebay as soon as I get round to it.

I've accepted my first job with Optimum Contact, its a phone call to a bank, to be done in July. Also paid by Grassroots £11.

Working my way through my daily tasks while bingoport plays in the background. Its made much easier by using the Firefox "coffee break" add-on which with one click opens all my daily webpages in different tabs, then I can just work my way through them all.

I got paid by Gapbuster today, £8, for a mysteryshop I did for them in May. http://www.gapbuster.com/mystery-shopping I've no more mystery shopping lined up anywhere at the moment. I really hope July jobs start appearing soon.

I've also noticed that High Street Web hasn't tracked on Quidco since 19th June. If it doesn't appear soon I'll stop bothering.

Bingoport

Bingoport is a free bingo portal which has slot machine games and bingo to play. Points are earned by posting messages, "spinning the wheel" etc and these can then be used to play the games. Points can then be redeemed for either other paid bingo sites, or for Amazon vouchers. I can refer new members but need an email address to do so. I've had about £45 worth of vouchers in 6 months, but it could have been more if I had been more regular using the site.

I try to log in most days and post my 10 messages which earns me 1000 points, while I'm doing these I play bingo on auto and max the cards I buy for each game. If you try to redeem points which have not been played through you are likely to be suspended.

So far today I've done the daily scratchcards on Littlewoods and Butlins bingo making me 40p. I've completed the GFK TV survey, and redeemed a £5 amazon voucher on the bingoport website. Neither of these will actually be counted until I've got the money in my bank account or amazon gift certificate account though.

I've set up this blog, including adsense on it. I'm hoping to work out how to add my referral links to posts so that others can sign up to the ideas I've found.

First Post!

Well, for months now I've been challenging myself to make £10 each day over and above my wages from my full time job. This has to come from other income, such as selling on Ebay and Amazon, mystery shopping, unexpected gifts and so on. It all started on the moneysavingexpert forums. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1717603

The £10 can be spread over several days, for example if I receive a cheque for £50 that is 5 days worth. I try to even it out over a month, so this month, June, I try to make £300. I'll start again in July trying to make £310.

This is going to be my diary of how I get on. All the money I make goes into my savings accounts, and gets used for holidays, treats and building up a nest egg.
