6 year anniversary - Make £10 a day Challenge September 2013 - everybody welcome

MrsCautious

I'm adding £52.12 made up from eBay sales after fees, £3.10 found while tidying up and 52p worth of nectar points added.

Listed and relisted a few more things on eBay, one of the things I sold tonight was a dress and jacket given to me for Cash for Clothes, it sold for £23 so glad I didn't take it where it was meant for!

Nice to see so many people are doing so well :j

I don't have anything spare to sell so can't EBay or similar.

Road kill seems to have vanished recently - oh well.

Surveys todays = £2.60
used Mr T voucher = £5.00

So total for today = £7.60 - I have amended my total

Still not making my target but working on it :rotfl:

£21 from The bay after the very high fees :eek: The fees on the postage do really make a difference don't they.

Oh well onwards and upwards at least its a bit more to add.Well done everyone on your money making efforts.

I did get a free dinner worth £12 whilst I was working, which was an unexpected treat. Can I count this, or not...?

Would you have spent the £12 anyway if it wasn't free?? If so, then I would count it and pay it off something else. If not, I would just accept it as a nice treat.

I think they will probably believe you as most people wouldn't complain about something like that if it didn't happen. And they will most likely send you a voucher as a gesture of goodwill so they aren't 'losing money' so to speak, and I expect it will be more than £1.97 if you are lucky. woo wooo :j fingers crossed for a 5er

I'll email them and see what they say. Wish me luck! :cool:

In other news, £54 last night on Fleabay, some of those were 99p sales which really just don't seem worth it anymore. Still, its rid of junk and i make a few pence in the process. Guess its better than just throwing it in the bin. Also, hubby won £15. He transfered it straight into my paypal account and it was sitting there this morning so I'm counting that too. so £69 to add. Happy with that.

Never got round to doing any listing as I developed quite a severe migraine. Still feeling rather drained this morning but all the kids are at school, DH is at work, and I don't start work till 4pm so I have the day to myself to relax and pull myself together. I really hate these migraines.

Will have to sort some listings out to start tomorrow night on 5 day auctions so they end sunday night. I find this is when i sell the most. :cool:

Off to update sig. Well done everyone on money making. I'm also ready to cash out at maximiles but can't decide what to get

Yes I think it was just a nice treat, I had dinner with me to eat which was just a jacket potato so I can use that again another time now which will save me a bit of money then, so maybe I will count it then

Not doing too well yet this month, but the kids are finally back in school today so should have more time to work on this, especially as youngest is at pre school 2 1/2 days a week now.

Managed £1.05 in nectar points and done a few surveys, will update when I draw down something. Going to get back into textbroker on the quiet days when I am kid free lol.

Doing ok for my first month, have done £44.64 on Ebay so far and have 46 items listed this week so hoping to get a nice big payout next week although I will have a lot of packing and posting to do.

I'm very inspired thank you everyone.

Two separate pennies found in road kill today which made me smile! New auctions listed on EBay so should have a nice payday at the end of the week and make a dent in my total for this challenge.

Cashed out for a £10 Amazon Voucher on Valued Opinions today, so that was a nice start to the week.

Looking back, I'm really pleased with the survey stuff I've done this year. All cash payouts go into a separate savings account as I'm saving up to get me and DS a passport each (mine ran out years ago and they're so eye-wateringly expensive, and DS is too old to be on mine any more and needs his own). I'd love to be able to afford to take us on holiday next year, so having a Passport is the first stage!

All my vouchers from surveys are converted to Amazon and stashed in my Amazon account.. I had £80 by the end of July so that meant I could get DS an iPod for his birthday, and he was absolutely thrilled. Only a second-hand one but in brilliant condition and looks and handles like new! I've already got another £40 worth of vouchers stashed away now, which I'm saving for a painless Christmas pressie shopping spree for the family.

All cash from extra work and selling stuff and MOCs etc that I earn goes straight into my main account to help keep me afloat each month and to nibble away at the overdraft.

So it's all been adding up, and it's just brilliant what an impact this monthly challenge has had - and how extra financially aware it's made me!

You are so right Djelhi-Bhelli - it has made me acutely aware of what I spend and when. Well done on the iPod all with vouchers - that's just amazing! I've not done well with the surveys - must get my act together!
