    So I made £15 profit yesterday on a hamper I made and will be making £20 profit on some sweet cones tomorrow for a birthday party :) not a bad start. That's half of the week covered so just need to sort some things out to sell on Facebook now :). This year is looking good, just need to keep up with it. Good luck everyone

    A sim card with £5 free credit (I think, haven't actually checked it yet) and £10.50 from a survey site, so £15.50 so far.

    Rosie, is that woohoo bongo? How long did it take you to get to a £20 amazon voucher? I tried playing there ages ago, but when I worked out how long it would take me to get to anywhere I think I lost the will to live and gave up! Is it worth going back?

    Yes its the bingo. Took me about 4 months to get. Have had £80 from it in 12 months but just have it running in the background along with sbtv whilst I do other things.

    Dropped my husband at the train station this morning on my way to work. I usually can't do this as going the opposite way on the school run. £8 car parking fee saved:j

    I am not sure how I am going to make the money yet but would love to join in and see if I can make it work...£5 a day initially - any tips greatly received at the moment I have signed up for swagbucks - looking forward to the challenge :)

    first post has lots of idea, joining survey sites, mystery shopping, writing for sites, shop and scan, etc, etc.

    Have a look around your home, anything you really don't need anymore? Try facebook selling.

    Oh if you have a smartphone, there are apps you can install to make money. On the UP your income board, is a thread for Android phones for apps that make you money.

    Pinecone vouchers are from Pinecone the survey company. They pay £3 a survey if you complete the whole survey. They pay in paypal or luncheon vouchers. I take the LVs and save them for xmas and then use them to help me buy my food shopping for xmas.

    Roadkill is money found in the streets, on the floor, in the washing machine, in the jeans ready to go in the washing machine, on the floor at supermarkets/buses/anywhere really.

    Amazon vouchers are ones I earn from survey sites/swagbucks/gifthulk, etc. I used to save them to buy a kindle but they got spent on other stuff, so may just try to save for xmas again or birthdays.

    Paypal is money earnt from sites like getjam, android apps, gifthulk, cashback sites, etc.

    And money saved from savings is that whenever I save money somewhere using vouchers/coupons, points etc i will physically take that money and stick it in a savings account.

    So if I started on the 5 quid a day challenge, does that mean that every day I need to raise 5 quid, or do I need to make 365*5 = 1825 quid over the course of a year, that will add up to a fiver on average per day?

    I've got a couple ideas so far, i've got a lot of stuff on ebay currently (35 items)

    I've got a whole potful of euros/dollars/cents that I think you can send away for sterling on some websites?

    Looked at doing the amazon trade in also, a lot of my books dont come up though. Are there any alternatives for book selling?

    Any other ideas to help me along?
