    Hello everyone. :wave:
    Aesop thank you for the congrats! I am very excited for the big day, cuz I loves a good knees up me!
    I should do well on this challenge now as I have 3 jobs! :rotfl:
    So please put me down for £20p/d this month, I need to push myself!
    I have decided I am only going to count the extra freelance work that I get, overtime from jobs 1 and 2 counts but not regular hours, and work from my 3rd job as my contract is 0 hrs so any hours I do can add to my total woop woop. Obviosuly the usual ways of extra cash count, that's the main reason I'm coming back, for a bit of mutual butt kicking, I need the motivation.
    I'm statrting the month with the £5 I got this afternoon from cash for clothes. I need to sell some books next, I caught the back end of a discussion over what book seller to use on July's thread, can anyone name me the top ones please? I need to get cracking on that this evening as well as some fleabay-ing :D

    Edit: I realised I did one shift at job 3 this month already, so thats a further £24 to add too, will pop on my siggy :-D

    Hi Suzitiger,

    I checked the prices offered on webuybooks.co.uk and zapper.co.uk. I found that each offered better prices on some books but have only used webuybooks so far as they accepted more of my books for a better price. You can also google voucher codes for them which will add another 10% to the price offered. Have used them twice and money paid into my bank one week after dropping the books off at the pickup point for the first lot and an amazing 4 days after for the second lot.

    Hope this helps.

    No money made for me today as we were called out on a couple of swan rescues so missed the car boots. Oh we'll that will mean a couple of pounds already earned for next month when I submit my mileage claim (I always look on the positive side to things):rotfl:

    That money talks I don't deny, I heard it once, it said "Goodbye"

    Can I join in please?

    I aim for £5 a day this month.

    Hoping to increase this to £10 in a few months when I get into the swing of things.

    Me too, Meeee toooooooo please :)

    I am an in and outer of these challenges but love to come back for some motivation - last month on maternity so would love some extra cash! Got off to a fab (cheating...) start by finding £68.25 in my TOpcashback woop woop! Also have done some risk freee spins on Friday and cashed out a profit - will wait for it to arrive before declaring. I have also done a couple of surveys that I have been slacking on, all good.

    Ebay - here I come :)

    Thanks for the endless motivation £68.25 / £310

    Thank you so much Chez. I too went for webuybooks and sold £7.82 worth, I took less money from them because it was less than £15 worth but more because I googled a voucher code, thanks for the tip. I will be dropping those off tomorrow. I have some other books that are academic that they wern't offering much for, so in a few weeks I will try selling them to the new intake of students or trade them in at Blackwells perhaps :)
    Swan rescues??! How cool and interesting, how did you get into doing that? I want to own and train a mountain rescue dog someday :)
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    Woo! Managed to knock £120 off our car insurance renewal quote by following all the steps in the MSE guide. And did it through Top Cashback so assuming it tracks we'll get £36 cashback too (not counted that yet).

    Also rang the Halifax and jumped through all their hoops to get my current account back to being a Reward one (lost the status in May when they changed the criteria). Too late for this month but should be there for Sep.

    And sold an item on Ebay for £29 tonight. Again won't be counting that until it's all paid & posted. But woo and indeed hoo!

    £10 a day this month Aesop :) Can't remember if I'd put my name down already or not. Don't think I did as I didn't get around to finding the thread before now.

    £30 selling some baby clothes on Facebook. Can almost see the end of all the too small sizes at last. (Took a pic of a little newborn bundle earlier - my son is heading for 2 now!! ;):o)
