    Sorry Stressed I was typing when you posted. I bet we look really amature compared to the make £10 in a day board. :( Especially if you've done January's in 9 days.

    You'll have to give us some hints and tips. :D

    No Elysia, you don't. I like that there is a challenge each month to focus our money making, otherwise I slip and forget to do surveys, free bingo etc.

    This thread is so supportive and everyone is friendly, so I will keep hanging around if that's ok:o

    I start my £10 over christmas, so count vouchers used etc, also emptied my £2 coins and seal tin so they counted this year. I normally start the year ahead, but fall behind by April so I am hoping with the support of this thread and the challenges I can keep going all year.
    The challenge is £10 a day all year to try and have a big 'final' family holiday as my DS is 18 this year, DD1 will be 16 DD2 15 and DD 3 11 so not sure how many more holidays they will want to spend with mummy:(
    I am loving my time with you guys here and on bingoport, which I hadn't been on for 6 months until you started talking about it, so I need the motivation I get here


    Sorry long post again

    Stressed xxxxx
    Hoping to stick to the challenge this year!!

    Thankyou - that makes me feel a bit better. I only took over because the OP didn't post very often. She is lovely but had other things on her plate. :( I thought I would help and get things up and running again.

    I do hope I'm helping everyone - and not preaching. I'm just tying to pass on what I learned last year, and trying to keep the motivation going.

    Rufus - I've been thinking of you - How's your £20 dooyoo challenge coming along? Nicely I hope. Don't forget to keep up with your clicks. ;)

    elysia- thanks, i know its supposed to be just a bit of extra to do and it would be if i could just get things to go how i planned ha ha ha . I think i was just on a bit of a downer this morning and will soon snap out of it. I have actually found another 5 things to list so feeling a bit better already.
    stressed.mum- welldone on the £10 a day like elysia said you will have to give us some tips.
    I joined the 11k in 2011 tread but no way will i manage that. i have decided to set myself a challenge sticking with the 2011 them and it will be £2011 in 2011 a bit more realistic for me lol.
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:

  • Zangles - that's partly why I haven't gone for the ebay challenge this month, I knew I would get too stressed to work it out. I have never sold on ebay and I look at our junk and think "no one would want that", so I will keep it in my diary for another time when I am feeling stronger!!

    My £10/day is made up of lots of little thing, quidco, surveys, sealed tin, £2 coins. I don't know if I will make it this year, fell by the way side about June last year, but hopefully I can stick at it.

    Off to do my posts ready for bingo tonight - have got 5k points so with a couple of wins might manage a redeem this week

    You have motivated me so much already this month, and if I dont achieve part of the challenge I don't feel like I can't come back, which is how I feel with lots of the challenges. On some challenges I feel like I'm not there, I post and no one acknowledges me, so I just drop out then. ( Bit like bingo chat lol)

    I have just done my posts ready for bingo tonight, took me 13 minutes with no interruptions, timed to see!!! I did 10 post on newbies, working my way down list. I click on last page of thread, which brings up first post, read that then a quick relevent post, hi newbie hope enjoying etc, then on to the next.

    Hope this helps

    Ha i knew it was you. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    Don't give up just because you can't do the challenges - I can set alternatives :D Especially for you. See how kind I am. ;)

    Let me know if ever you feel you can't manage it (this is to everyone) hopefully I can come up with another idea.

    stressed.mum, it is easy when you get into it. When im feeling it would stress me to do it I will list things that do not really need much of a description. Things that people who are looking for them would know what they do and look like any way.
    You do get in the swing of things.
    I just plan out when i will package things and if people have not payed then i cant do it and have to find the time another day.
    elysia you really have been a great help on this thread and i really do appreciate it.
    I have listed som meor things and have some ending today.
    I think i will do my bingo posts while oh is watching football.
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:
