    Hi everyone,
    I've not shown my face for ages- I'm really sorry. :o Seem to have been so bisy with one thing and another I just haven't had the time.:o
    I thought that now we only have 2 pay days left until Christmas I had better get my finger out and get in on the challenge!

    I am only going to aim for £5 this month, just because I don't seem to have any spare time to do anything lately and I'd rather aim lower to save any dissapointment at the end of Nov!

    As always at this time of year (despite mygood planning and organisation...!) I could do with the extra cash for Christmas. Want to get kids a few last bits of presents ans also have a bit of "spare" money aside in case we take the kids out or anything over the festive period :beer:

    So, £5/day for me too please Jesa.

    EMminently - yes, we all feel like that at first. There are *so* many ways to either cut down the spend or find extra income, its very confusing and *feels* very complicated. But take it step by step, you can't get up to huge sums straight away - doing mystery shops, for instance, I did one a month for the first two months, but after 6 or 7 months, I earned just over £150 in one month! The efforts you make build up and really start to pay dividends. Just take it slow, read stuff through, experiment with one thing at a time, you'll do it.

    And that applies to all newbies! The people you see with thousands of posts to their names all received a lot of help from the people before them - they/we are willing to pass it on, and help you help yourselves.

    Here the sermon endeth :D Have a good day all

  • I echo everything Karmacat said. Just try one thing at a time -- otherwise you'll find yourself overwhelmed and you'll give up. It's well worth it once you're in the swing of things :)

    ETA: Just remembered, I've reached my £300 target for this month. Nowhere near as much as last month's total but I'm still pleased!
