So far this month I have made £30.88 interest.
This weekend I was really spending money rather than saving it.Although most of it was online so hopefully it will track soon via Quidco/TCB and I can add that to my total.

Woop! Finally have something more than pennies to add
Ebay items didn't sell (no suprise there) so they're going back on to end on a sensible day! But just got another £19 from the playb*y c*sino offer, oh yeah!

Ok so I'm going for my £5 a month for August (£10 is just unrealistic right now) I failed in July due to having to borrow some to float my current account rather than paying heafty o/d charges.
Anyone got any tips of how this can be made easier without doing all the survey/cash back sites thing?

OK, first update for my first time in this challenge!
I have £91.89 that has either tracked or validated in Quidco, plus am waiting on another £64.55 that hopefully will also track and validate :T Not used it before, but keeping my fingers crossed that it will happen!
I am only go to use in my total things have have tracked and validated and show as the amount on Quidco though.
On top of that have £22.48 from ebay in my paypal account and more listed so another fingers crossed there!
Many more things to investigate now, but not enough time in a day and I do try not to make my DS a laptop orphan :rotfl:

Hi all
A late update for July, I wasn't sure if to post here or on the July thread but I thought no one might see the July one now. It was my first month on this challenge and only made £29.13but I didn't put as much into it as I could have. Starting to feel the pressure of wanting to reach £1k by Jan as so far only have around £235. So please could I be put on for £5 a day for August and I will try harder this month!!!

Hiya! Everyone counts their money made differently so it really is up to you - if it would motivate you to do more by seeing it there then add it! But if it would make your other money making plans take a back seat then don't, if you know what I mean!
Off to see what surveys I can do, they took a back seat last month :rolleyes:The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

Hi everyone :hello:
Welcome to all the newbies!
Basically, you can count whatever you like towards this challenge- everyone does their own thing. Some people count things like- money saved on bogof's etc what would normally have been spent, money earned on ebay, amazon, play.com etc, ssurveys and daily clicks. Some people only count "hard cash"- this is what I do, as I like to see the money used towards something in particular at the end of the month. It depends what means you have to make the extra cash, and how much time you have to do extra things.
I think some people use income from like 2nd jobs as well, as it is not what they class as regular income. So it is entirely up to each individual person what they want to aim for- £5/£10/£15/£20 per day, and also what you want to count towards it.
I have thought about starting doing a bit of ironing on the side, if I do decide to start doing this- I will no doubt count it towards my total.
Good luck to everyone just joining, any questions just shout up
