  • 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.
