"2012 Make £10 a day challenge January ~ everybody most welcome to join in :)"

Hey Everyone,

Watched Superscrimpers last night - I love that show, it's just loads of tips on how to save money on things. DS1 watched it with me, after telling him what it was about he turned up with a notepad and pen so he could jot down anything useful, lol. Was quite funny in the adverts as the Tesco one came on that advertises shopping online - he wrote it all down, then highlighted 'The hardest thing you will have to do is open the door' - he said it was the best tip he'd ever heard! :rotfl:

Anyway, I signed up to their challenge after seeing it on the programme - basically they send you an email everyday for a month with something new to do each day. Was planning on going to town but I happened to check my emails first... today's challenge is to have a no spend day! :doh:

Oh well, why do today what you can put off until tomorrow...

I'm currently on 71 gold stars and I'm wanting to cash out so I can ditch the site. :rotfl: I think it's a waste of time for me doing it (would get more out of swagTV) but I've made a 'mini rule' with myself to at least cash out once from each site - if it's not been worth the time then leave....but get a payout first.

Thanks! I'm amazed, lol. It's taken nearly a year, and there have been so many (sooooooo many!) days when I've had bingo running all day long - will be so glad to see the back of that website, lol. Good luck with it, fingers crossed you'll win a big one and can get there a little faster

I do both woohoo and sb tv at the same time and often a survey as well LOL!

Got up to a lovely unexpected cheque this morning from aviva - no idea what it is for as it just says allocated refund??? anyway a nice wee £49.44 to add to my total and taking me a good bit closer to my £500 target.

Another wee 38p from Zopa interest this week - have £70 in my holding account so think i will lend again.

2p roadkill i found outside while walking to the car

I have some money in my saving pot too that i'm going to bank along with the cheque today - not sure how much yet so will add that later.

Also have someone calling later to collect some things i sold on fb but will add that when i get it!

Got another £10 yesterday for charity fund too and some more to calculate postage for and invoice the buyers.

busy day ahead i think LOL!

So totals are sitting at £459.95/500 + charity £98/155 at the minute.

Oh also waiting for swagbucks vouchers from 3/1 onwards - i think it is a backlog cos i've never waited this long before!

this thread moves so fast phew....

nothing much to report. I've booked a table at a local table top sale on sunday though so hopefully I should make some money there and clear some space. I'm looking forward to it actually.

DH took the laptop to work yesterday and when he got home the baby had been sick everywhere and only wanted me not DH so DH offered to do my daily clicks for me. He had an eyeopener at how laborious they are :rotfl:

I've been lucky over the weekend with lucky emails from sprpoints so that's bumped my total up a bit. I need one more referal though to take me up to the next level so if any one needs a referal please consider me

Still hoping to make my target by the end of the month though. If not there's always february :rotfl:

£10 M&S voucher landed on my doormat

And with any luck, another NSD today.

Ordered a £10 Amazon voucher from S&S at the weekend. Don't think I remembered to add it here though yet. Did have a quick skim over my posts, and didn't see it, so hopefully I haven't added it twice. Although I think cheating would be the only way to make my target this month!!
But don't worry - I won't!!

Just been flicking through the thread and saw a sig (might have been Bluecows?) that showed total vouchers earned in 2012.. hope you don't mind but I've pinched your idea cos I like it

ETA: Sorry, was monkeynuts x

I took the inspiration for it from Aesops sig.
Think I might add in cash from surveys as well, as I do keep track of them in a spreadsheet, but might be good to have on here as well as motivation for others when they are a bit brain dead of surveys!!

Should really be getting on with things rather than pottering around on MSE. Got 2 reports from MS jobs yesterday that need to be written this afternoon, so need to make the most of both children being asleep at the moment!

Sent off ebay parcels today so thats £20 to add plus £8.55 saved on shopping this week. Have claimed another $10 paypal from SP but will add that when it arrives.

PS Just checked emails and SP payment of £6.26 has arrived so added that too.
