Hello all,

In the last few weeks with the weather turning, the 'C' word has been thrown around a fair bit (no, not THAT C word!:D)

In 18 weeks to the day it will be Christmas Day :rudolf: and that got me thinking; wouldnt it be lovely to have money put aside when the Sainsburys sale starts in October? Or when Tesco has a toy sale? Or when Amazon slashes its prices? instead of adding to debt?

So Ive thought of a challenge to help ease the burden of finding the extra money for the gifts for the kids and family- The Make Money For Christmas Challenge! :xmastree:

Use this thread for motivation to earn extra, heres some ideas of how;

*overtime at work,
*surveys,
*bubblews,
*swagbucks,
*consumer pulse,
*Mystery Shopping,
*ebay (old xmas toys perhaps?!)
*car boot sales
*ciao

Set your own weekly challenge as only you know how much you need. Im in the challenge for £20 per week.

£5pw x 18wks= £90
£10pw x 18wks= £180
£15pw x 18wks= £270
£20pw x 18wks= £360

Best of luck challengers!

    I know I have a few things that I can eBay :o I have a few points in Swagbucks but I haven't done it in ages, I'm sure I could try and start that again! Can't think of much more to start... will nab some of your ideas from above though! :D

    I did a car boot sale yesterday and made £85,72 profit but I dont think I'll add it all to this challenge. Think I'll add £10 and make up the rest of the week from ebay :)

    Excellent Hummingbird!

    I was in sainsburys earlier and noted that they had a toy sale. It felt really good to pick up some super cheap toys that I had put by in only the short space of time this challenge has been going!
