Debt Free Me's New Plan and Challenge

Hello All
Right, starting tomorrow, I have a new plan and challenge, which by fluke has been timed quite well.
I remembered that if I save approxiamtely £5.5k by the end of 2009 (I need to check out the actual settlement figure on my letter, can't find it at the mo but that's around the mark) along with my monthly installments, I will have enough money to pay off my loan in half the time! I also want to save £1K (£200 of which is nicely tucked away in my ISA) for when me and boyfriend plan to move in together in January (for my half of the rent deposit/anything we might need). This works out at around £11.67 a day, which comes in well with me starting the £10 a day challenge with my first attempt starting tomorrow for July, although I am only starting off with £5 a day.
I plan to do this by making any money outside of my full time wage and by saving anything I possibly can from my full time wage, which probably won't be very much as I do not have much to spare. Does anyone think this is possible? I plan to attempt this by doing the following, among anything else anyone can suggest that I could look into.
Finding a higher paid job
Looking at part time work either at a place of work or at home
Daily clicks
Surveys
Slice the Pie
Bingo (mainly when Gala is free on a Thursday)
Writing reviews
Money I find
Saving 5ps, 2ps and 1ps
Selling an Amazon (5 books just listed tonight :T )
Selling on Ebay
Selling at car boots sales (maybe)
Any more ideas and encouragement welcome and thanks in advance.
