~The Final MAKE £10 A DAY in December Challenge for 2011 ~ Everybody Welcome

iloveshoes21

Well there is no way I will meet target this month due to me being a little lazy with money making! So Im going to declare today with:

£125 xmas money
£5 amazon voucher
£6 surveys
£3.10 from swag

So thats £139.10 to add and declaring at £173.08. Feeling quite dissapointed with myself.

I need to up my game in the new year. My credit card unfortunately took a massive hit this month. Myself and my OH have had to move apart for a year due to me taking a new job with a promotion. I moved in August and I intended to just rent a room for a year but it was driving me crazy living in someone elses house and not feeling like I have a home to live in. So we have just rented a second property which to be honest wont cost that much more than renting a room. However furnishing a second house has cost a small fortune. At least its sale time at Ikea!! So i need to earn extra cash to pay off the furniture debt.

I hope everyone has a productive few days reaching their targets.

For anyone doing SB- on the Supersonic tab there is the devil inside video for 5sb which it has let me watch loooads of times, if you just play it and keep refreshing the page (and then going back onto supersonic) the video will still be there to earn points on.

Also on superpoints if you haven't check your emails as the christmas day email was for 10points, and I think 27th may have been for 5 points. I just searched for all emails off superpoints and clicked through from each one as I had missed so many! They don't seem to have an expiry date- not a short one anyway.

Money making seems to be a bit slow at the moment so I have been spending time setting up spreadsheets for next year- all my challenges, eBay, weight loss etc. I have some eBay parcels to post today so I'll add that later- not looking forward to my £500 eBay fees at the end of the month! :eek::eek::eek:

£500 Ebay Fees?!?! Wow, you must have been incredibly busy on there this month then?!? Lots of money rolling in?

I've not been on to update in a week or so as we have been mega busy packing, and have just moved yesterday so will probably have to avoid MSE for another week or so while we get unpacked and organised. I really did have more stuff than I ever thought possible, and I'm determined to get sorted and organised. Dread to think how much more I would have had to pack and move had it not been for Ebay the last few weeks, as I've sold loadsssssss of little bits and pieces on there this month and last. Have plenty of baby things stored from my first son though, so at least we are generally ready for the impending new arrival.

Anyway, on a money making note..!
£52 MS profit (including some reimbursement money from one job as used to buy present I'd have had to spend out on anyway!)
£6 Pinecone vouchers came through just before we moved, but as I'd already put all my vouchers in an envelope and left at my parents house so they didn't get lost, these were put somewhere separate and now I can't find the bloody things! Will be a nice surprise when I do I suppose! Finally actually used some LVs actually, as had a pile of about £55, so used a few on shopping over Christmas, as we like to treat ourselves to some extras, just simple pleasures like fancy bacon and sausages for breakfasts, and posh cheese and crackers! :cool::D:o
That reminds me actually, used a £3 off till spit voucher in Sainsbury's as well!

Got £20 vouchers for Christmas, and our little boy got £15 from a great Aunt, so I'm adding that as well as it's gone into the decorating fund for his new bedroom!! Want to get him some nice curtains and matching light shade etc!!

Also had another couple of vouchers through from S&S/CP since I last updated on here, so that's another £20 (might have been 3 lots actually but not sure, so will be good and just add the 2 I'm sure I've not added yet!)
And £15 Love2Shop vouchers came through from Toluna. Quite pleased as this only took about 4-5 weeks, rather than the 4-5 months it's taken in the past!!
Oooh and £15 Boots points from the Living Social (or Groupon, whichever it was?!?:o) have been added now, so that's £10 profit

So I think that gives me £135 to add on today, which is perfect for this challenge as I've just looked and last time I posted was on 15th :eek: so that's 13 days. Couldn't remember at all what I'd been on for the month already, but have just checked on my sig and was already up to £271.99, so that was a fab surprise as that takes me to a fabby £406.99. Won't declare this just yet in case anything else comes along. Really pleased with this given that it's been such a busy month for me in other ways, and with Christmas of course!!

Hello Gangsters,:santa2:
Hope you've all had a good Christmas.

Well so much for my promise to be back to normal participation

Slow month again with nowt else to land ... so declaring now at £150.75 -:

Already working on plans for 2012 - having to re-jig some figures and do a new SOA & forecast ... just need to decide whether to keep the current diary (short n sweet as it is) or start a shiny new one for 2012... :think:

Well done everyone on your gains this month - be proud, as December is an awkward one to best!

Aesop

Hi all, hope that you had a very merry Xmas!

I have £21.82 to add today, this is made up of a £20 voucher that I received, and shopping and survey points. This takes me up to a grand total of £247.63/£233 so far. So glad to hit target today! :beer:

GreyhoundAngel

Ah ! Good ! Thought I'd missed the linky being posted as usual

I'm leaning to the new diary option too, with SOA changes & new things to try - seems logical and easier to mesure progress - I seem to have a habit of starting mine at oddball times of the year :rotfl:

Quick question for any of the Oracles ....

Are SuperP's & Swag's the same thing ? seen both mentioned and got confuddled

£5 today from staying later at work to cover for absent colleague

they are both ways to make amazon vouchers and paypal, but one takes longer than the other to reach payout. swagbucks is quicker as you only have to hit 849 for amazon.

with superpoints, you have to reach 2500 points if you are not a super user, ie you have people who have signed up using your referral codes.

At............ very happily at £216.82 :j

Tomorrow is wedding anniversary, Friday clean day while hubby at work, and then its new years eve so thats my lot for this year.

Have a head start for next year as waiting on lots of amazon vouchers (aprox £40) to buy a belated anniversary gift, as refusing to use cash, and he not expecting a gift anyways.

Also have consolidated both credit cards into one 0% interest free till Aug 2013, but as on maternity until may I may aim for more NSD and £10 a day whilst off.

Plan is pay off as much off credit card next year as possible !!!

See you all nezt year and have a drink for me!!!

Will let you know when little man has arrived!!
