    Hello all,

    To the people asking "can I count this?" i think the answer is "if you want to!"
    People generally do the challenge slightly differently than each other, some include savings on things, some only count extra money made, some include overtime, others don't. Personally I only count extra cash made, and money that I can physically put in a separate account as I want to be able to SEE £310 at the end of the month, however this is after doing various attempts and completing it previously in theory but not actually not having any extra money to show for it.

    Hope that wittering made sense!

    I have had a wicked start to this month, started up other unmentionable stuff on MSE and have had some luck making £175 profit so far! Will not continue at this rate by a nice start and I have some matched betting started off that should make some more.

    Good luck all :D

    EDIT: Just seen the Risk free Willhill offer on backgammon and made another £3.50 - Woop!

    I think it's absolutely fab people are getting on board with Swagbucks and Superpoints, you will all soon be earning amazon vouchers or paypal.

    Can I please ask though, to make sure this thread is not just taken up with them that questions/referrals are put here. I will try to answer questions on there, if no one beats me to it :D. I subscribe to the thread, so when I am able to get onto the computer, I will answer.

    Going slow for me... but have made £2.35 on amazon and I got an extra £1 off an item in a shop as I pointed out the man forgot to scan it. Also picked up 2 litres of organic milk for 10p. So I will say that's 4.25 for me today. Slowly but surely. I think I will have a big ebay push later in the week.
    July £10 a day Challenge= £0 / £310

    Lemmings, I normally add crushed garlic to butter to put on half baked battons for garlic bread, but unless I add parsley, I find it really bitter. I had a toasted tea cake with some of the butter on (strictly for quality control purposes :D) and I couldnt really taste it. Think I might add a smidgum of salt...
    £20k in 2023 = £2718 £2023 in 2023 = £196.41 Grocery challenge £250= £195.80 **MONEY MAKES ME HAPPY**
