    Can I join in again please?
    I have done £5 a day in the past ( a long time ago) and so would like to have another go in June.

    So £5 a day or £150 for the month for me please.

    I will be counting extra pay for working a day over half term (I'm a teacher doing an extra revision day and get paid extra for it), any ebay money (though not sure what I'll list), surveys and vouchers used on food shopping. Will try to think of more things......

    I recently got paid, so sat down and did an excel spreadsheet of all the things i need to pay for this month, and after all outgoings, I have....... wait for it..... £1.24 left! Very disappointing, as i wished to save at least £100 this month! And I am also glad i did it as i now understand that i cannot afford anything! arrghh. Put me down for £10 a day please, literally selling everything i dont need or haven't used in the last year. All watched dvds are going... you watch them once and never watch them again, except I'm keeping the classics, dirty dancing, etc).

    Gonna be a long month!
    omigod don't get rid of dirty dancing! In my view that film is the greatest cultural achievement of the 20th century. Perfect in every way.......

    Please put me down for £5 a day again. Although I surpassed £5 a day in May, some payments were "one-offs", so I'll see how I do without those in June! :)

    Hey Everyone,

    Thanks for starting a new thread, Aesop.

    I'm torn now as I really doubt I'd make £10 a day (very busy next month), but am finding £5 a day too easy (and I get lazy once I've made target!). Can I go for the mid point, £7.50 a day please?

    Sold a book on amazon, but after amazon took their sizeable fees, i received £1.94, and postage cost £1.92...... measly 2p profit - should have carbooted it :( But ah well.

    2p/£300!!
