    Please can I join for July too - £5 a day as it is my first go at this. Any tips would be appreciated as well. A lot of people seem to be well practised, so please help the newbies by passing on your experiences. Off to read some archive posts for info. Cheers

    For the newbies, the two best things you can do are:
    - read the previous threads - June, May, whatever.
    - look at the Step by Step guide at the top of every page, entitled Boost Your Income (in the line underneath the red banner that says Start Here).

    I start my challenge on Tuesday, keeping it within the actual month and I'll only count the cash when it has arrived in my account, so it only gets counted when it is real. I have a good start this month as I have a Quidco payment scheduled of £57.08. I'm only challenging for £5 a day as this is my first time so now I need less than £100 to achieve my challenge. Hopefully I'll get this by ebaying, pigsback, etc. I don't do mystery shopping as I work full-time and don't have time to fit it in.

    I have just sorted out a car-share to work which I hope to be able to do regularly from now on. It costs me approximately £4 per day just in fuel to get to/from work so for every day I car-share I'll add £2 to the pot. I know this isn't real cash coming in, but it is a genuine saving so I think it is justified.

    Good luck everyone!

    Ooh - due £17.97 cashback from Quidco at beginning of July plus £8.00 from Pinecone. I've got 6 things listed on Ebay - one has 3 watchers, another has one (only listed them yesterday). I'm applying to do some mystery shopping, and should hopefully get enough pigsback clicks to get a £10 M+S or Boots voucher before the end of the month. I'm feeling quite optimistic about this challenge :j

    Well I'm at £10.05 at the moment. I have sold a couple odd items on ebay over weekend (since I joined challenge) and I found 11pence (whilst out walking) last night. I have loads more stuff to list and hope to do a car boot on sunday (weather permitting!!)
