    Hi ..Had to do some catching up i thought ...Ive not posted on this month till now so just edited my signature .
    So far this month what i can remember :

    • 3.00 - reduced pizza and chicken legs in local co op i saved
    • 50p - You gov survey
    • 3.00- vouchers recieved this morning from pinecone survey
    • 30p - onepoll surveys
    • 1.20 - scratchies
    • 1.61- change i found on the floor
      And my biggest this month is £ 14.05 i saved by purchasing shopping vouchers off Ebay where i won clothes vouchers for my friends birthday present and also puchased food store vouchers which i will spend.
    I love getting vouchers off ebay as not only do i have them poste staight to my door i also normally pay less for them and get feedback points too , along with never relally having to withdraw my money from paypal which takes me 10 days to clear in my bank account;)
    • 4.00- saved not having to get a bus ticket to collect my vouchers from the specific nearest clothes store for my friend.
    Total so far £30.66

    Hey guys ! !
    I think we have a little problem!
    I think.. (please can other peeps check this) that TAB now pays for its free scratchies into bonus money not hard cash!!
    How gutting!
    I think I am going to deposit up to over £10 and then withdraw but I think that unless you're into bonus money, this ship has sailed!
    :(:(
    I think mine is still going into real money... ?

    Hi everyone,
    I haven't done one of these challenges for awhile now, since I moved out and managed to get a Real Job so wasn't relying on online money every month. I have to tell you, these £10 a day challenges have helped me survive for around 18 months! I love them.

    I need around £400 for car insurance and tax renewal mid June and the end of June. So I think I will aim for £5 a day for this month (and I will include the few days I have missed and start afresh tomorrow) for a total of £155 this month, then aim for £10 a day next month. Getting back into the swing of things takes awhile.

    I am also going to only count money as it hits my bank account now instead of when I make it.

    Just going to update my signature now. Will let you know how I get on.
    I like to make money
    Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder


    :j Make £10 a day challenger - it pays for trips to Florida! :j

    I would put them in a small box rather than an envelope to make sure they don't split and leak in the post. Something smaller than a shoe box I guess depending on size

    Thank you JesaRose. Daft question, but any idea's where I could find some? What sort of shops etc, the smallest items are literally the size of my baby finger I've looked in the local pound shops and supermarkets but cant find anything small enough.
