August Make £10 A Day Challenge ~~All Welcome~~

Hi all,
This was my first challenge and I'm declaring at £140.74 - my target was £155 cos I was going for 5 a day. Not bad I think, I've learnt alot about how much you can make/save with things I didn't expect, for example starting the free scratchcards. Some of the highlights/surprises where:
£55.36 in eBay sales
£13.35 in free scratchcards
£5.10 from surveys (just one site)
I never knew about the surveys/scratchcards, and hadn't sold on eBay for yonks before I found this site so I'm really surprised how much I got out of those 3 in just one month! The rest was made up of cashing in saved pennies, making sandwiches to take to work, supermarket food offers/downbranding, loyalty points and my railcard discount.0 -
Declaring £63.16 for August - not great and not even close to £10 a day, but £63 is £63!
:j:jDebt Jan 2008: £45,566. *** June 2013: DEBT FREE! ***
Paid back just under £50,000 due to some interest added.
Dealt with my debt through a Step Change (CCCS) DMP.
