:hello: and welcome to all newbies and regulars.

This is the 69th month of this challenge, which was first started by Batgirl, in September 2007 Thanks to Batgirl for starting it, Nat21luv, Monkeynut, Sweetpeas, Purpleroses, JesaRose and MizMir for keeping the thread going.

I know this first post is long, but please read as it give tips on how this challenge works.

If you're new to the challenge don't be scared - here's how it works:

The aim of this challenge is to make £10 extra a day everyday for the month. A lot of people think this is impossible but it can and has been done (and in some cases some show offs have even doubled or tripled the monthly challenge).

If you feel £10 is too much why not start at £5 or if you're brave join those who aim for £20 a day! Anything extra you make is great so set whatever target you think you can manage.

The idea is that everyone posts how they are making extra money and these shared ideas help all of us to learn new ways to help cut debt or earn/save money.

What cannot be added: wages from your main job
What can be added: overtime at work, income from a 2nd job, daily clicks, interest, vouchers, mystery shopping...the list is endless.

This board moves so fast so here's some ideas for people to make money. (Click the blue words (links) for some shortcuts to threads/links on each subject):

Play, CEX, zapper, we buy books, Amazon Trade In.

    awww CP you are back too! :j:j :hello:

    when people disappear off MSE I always assume they are doing so well for themselves they no longer need MSE.

    Lovely to have you back, sweetpeas is back too.

    Aww hello to sweetpeas too then!

    And i wish that was only too true as to why i disappeared! In fact it couldnt be any further from the truth. However, i'm back. I've re-evaluated my life, i've got rid of a lot of bills (sky, stupid insurance policies, gym, ect) and i've cut my bills right down. I'm still totally skint, but my debts are coming down slowly. I've quit uni (long story) but feeling much more positive. Depression is still my downfall but its one day at a time. I'll get there i'm sure.

    Hope your well Aesop. Still an angel for running this thread!
