    I want to enter, but I haven't a clue how I'd make an extra £10 a day :eek:
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.
  • Off to a good start so far, all my ebay sales have paid out and got more then expected especially as I was going to give half of what I sold to the charity shop!!

    Still got my amazon sale to pay out and intend on listing more on ebay on Thursday night that I was going to give to charity.

    Found it very satisfying updating my sig - how sad!!

  • OK

    So £4 turned up today for a survey I did. OK start....

    I've sorted out two cupboards and found various bits to list on Ebay, so that will be done tomorrow (got to poke DP to find the camera upload cable now...)

    Try cash back sites - read the article first. PM one of us for a referral and we make money too off a site you would join anyway. Quidco don't pay a referral fee but of the sites I've joined they offered the best free / low spend deals. There are lots of free trials you can do where you can sign up, get paid a fee by a cash back site and then cancel without it costing you any money. You can do similar with bingo and betting providing you have good discipline. You can join survey sites - again see the article. If you are dedicated you can amazon, ebay, green man, iboot, car boot etc your stuff. You can sell what you have to friends and family or thro the papers. You can print off the money off vouchers at the start of one of the threads - I think it is called freebies. There's a cottage industry thread, there's lots you can do if you put the time in. I thought it was impossible but see my sig - I'm getting £64 paid off a credit card tomorrow from a £10 stake on bingo - where I got paid my stake or more to join!:j

    Try and find something that works for you. I suggest you try one thing at a time. I started with selling some of my stuff at a car boot, then to friends. Next I joined quidco and went on from there. Try one thing at a time, when you are comfortable with it, try another..... Hope that helps. (I haven't tried e-bay etc yet.... not quite in my comfort zone... trying to get OH to do it for me on Thursday which I am told is a 5p listing day)...;)

    Hi, does a giftcard from xmas for £20 I'd forgotten I had count? I know it's a long shot but still... :)
    As some posters count loose change they find round the house, I can't see why not - provided it saves you £20 somewhere along the line.... so are you going to ringfence to perhaps buy some pressies for others with so that you don't need the £10 pressie budget for a couple of months? or something like that (no pressure);) (There's no hiding on here)

  • Managed to cashout on one sites I use so have added that to my total for today, plus did a survey for VO so another 50p added to my total. Good day today, just wish the couple of items I have on evilbay would hurry up and sell!
  • Good start today. Finally got my Canbet bonus for £70. Three surveys from lightspeed for another £3 plus a couple of other bits and bobs gives me £75.76 after the first day.
    Competition wins: Where's Wally Goody Bag, Club badge branded football, Nivea for Men Goody Bag
  • Please add me in for £5 a day. Does anyone know if the free prize draws on Fair Exchange have a catch, or can you really enter everything for free and win free prizes?

    Fair Exchange are well-known for being a spammy site, not worth bothering with. They're a bit like win 4 now and myoffers - a waste of time.

    You're best off entering the comps on the MSE competitions section... lots of genuine comps there.
