    I have done nothing to earn money all day apart from scratchcards, i have been quite bad over the last few weeks really, need to get my butt in gear but can;t see it happening much before New Year. Christmas spending is making me spend too!
    Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month

    I've got a couple of ideas on how to start the £10 challenge, but whilst it'll make me money it'll be small time so not sure whether to go with it or not as other people will have big ideas lol

    would you like to share yukki??

    the best idea i have seen is spending the £10 on entrance and a stall at a car boot to sell junk you have . dunno if it is cheating though as you already had the items you are selling.

    i am going to start 2 free scratchards with it first then dunno

    Go back onto the list and it should be in a blue box at the top, make sure your hot deals are over 100c and put a few more than 5 in.

    Thanks for that Lilmissup. I didn't realise they had to be over 100c. One of mine wasn't. Soon as I added one more I got my code for the amazon voucher.
    May - £251.63/£155, June - £108.69/£150, July - £157.45/£155, Aug - £104.28/£155
    Sept - £110.80/£150, Make £5 a day in Oct challenge = £50.50/£155

    Well I am going to soend some of it on bits to make some more jewellery after I have got some profit such as a scratchcard so I have backup etc. I am going to see how much I can make from the jewellery I think.

    Trouble is I need a spreadsheet now to work out all the fees etc and costings.

    I thought that Jen about the car boot, surely it would only count if you bought things to sell with the tenner?
    I just got OH to buy me a satnav case from amazon for Xmas using my vouchers and then he gave me the money, result!! £12.50 off the debt!

    good luck with the jewellery yukki , I might try something along those lines too possibly although eBay is rubbish to sell jewellery. Think Nicki does well through etsy but I haven't tried it out.
