  • Hey guys!
    I'm going to go for it again this month and actually keep updating it!
    I am going to aim for the whole £10 (arhhhh) this month and back date it to the 1st. So thats £310 eek.

    Have quite a bit more time in august due to it being the school holidays and it would be nice to clear off the credit card a bit.

    So far I have nothing to add but loads of stuff waiting to clear through paypal etc.

    If you so superpoints or swagpoints there are loads of videos on peanut labs this morning. I have had them up and running at the same time!
    Make £5 a day in May £51.05/£155

    I might be struggling with this after all. I've gone through stuff and I don't really have much to sell at all...Also not long ago I reached payout levels in surveys so no money coming that way either. Must put thinking cap on!

  • Another £4.54 to add from TCB, need to get a bit more creative with some ideas!

    I've got an opportunity to buy 40 dresses of different sizes but of 5 styles from high street stores(h&m, wallis, topshop) for £6.50 each. I like the designs on offer and think I could make some money on them...but should I take the plunge and spend £300?! They'll be good sellers on eBay but I'm not sure if I should....what do you think?

    nat21luv - That's a big outlay...I couldn't afford it myself and would be too scared to buy so many, but hopefully someone else can you give you better advise.

    Just checked my survey sites:
    springboard £9/£25
    crowdology £0
    Onepoll £5.50/£40

    so too far off to get anything this month except of course crowdology if I can get any surveys.

    Not sure I should, spent all morning on eBay looking for similar items and there seems to be quite a lot around. If I sold them at a car boot or market I'd be lucky to get a tenner each which will still see me in profit, but I think it's too much. Urgh, thinking cap on again...

    £15.25 Ebay profits from last weekend.
    Slowly slowly wins the race :) (Not sure Usain bolt would agree with me there but shhh)
    Had an unexpected £120 in the bank from Child Tax Credits, but going to wait until I've had the letter about it to explain why, and until I know it's all right etc as you just never know when they might turn around and say they want it back! Shouldn't really add it here anyway as it's not exactly earned - although feels it sometime with these kids!
    Hope you managed to get the Sudocrem off the walls Nat :D Gotta love the little darlings haven't we :rotfl:
    I'd never heard to Scrapstores before, so have just Googled them, and they look like a great idea. Are the local ones just to go and get bits to take home, or do they do or make things actually there? If you see what I mean, and if I've got the right idea from the website!!
    Half of November Make £10 a Day Challenge: £51/ £170

    I've never been myself either, they were on superscrimpers a few weeks ago. Heard of them last year but they advertised themselves as a place to make things using recycled bottles and things for £3 a child, put me off as I have enough carp in my bin they could use for free! Supposedly, you fill a basket of materials(paper, sequins,material ect) an pay a couple of quid. I'm not going today after all, too tired. These students have drained me :( have my two young half siblings staying for a week on Saturday, dreading it :(
