Hello and welcome everybody
This is the 90th month of this challenge, which was first started by Batgirl, in September 2007.
Thanks to Batgirl for starting it, Emmaglet, Nat21luv, Monkeynut, Sweetpeas, Purpleroses, JesaRose, MizMir for keeping the thread going.
I know this first post is long, but please read as it give tips on how this challenge works. Some of the content has changed
If you're new to the challenge don't be scared - here's how it works:
The aim of this challenge is to make £10 extra a day everyday for the month. A lot of people think this is impossible but it can and has been done, over and over. If you feel £10 is too much why not start at £5 or if you're brave join those who aim for £20 a day! Anything extra you make is great so set whatever target you think you can manage.
It also doesn't have to be £10 each and every day - some days you make more and some days you make less, but aim for £300 extra at the end of the month.
The idea is that everyone posts how they are making extra money and these shared ideas help all of us to learn new ways to help cut debt or earn/save money.

yeah I would like to join but I have set myself a year target rather than a month target, is that ok?0

Count me in. Gonna set myself a target of £400 for the month. Should get about £230 of overtime at the end of February so gonna have to do as much online as I can possibly manage to make up the rest.0

Hi, thank you for running the thread, I'd like to aim for £280 please, not sure how realistic it is but it will give it a good go!0
-
Thanks Aesop. Please can you put me down for my usual £10
Good luck everyone.
Rosie xJan £10 a day £326.75/£3100 -
