    Hello, I am completely new to this thread, could you please add me?. I will not have the time until later this week when the kids get into the nursery. But I am really excited to see if truly I could make £10 a day. I would go through all the starting pages and see what everyone is doing. Count me in please :)
  • Today was a bit of a washout - I heard some awful news about a friends wife this morning that preoccupied my mind as bad news always does. Took me a while to get organised so I only managed a measly £1 today - 50p double the difference back from a tesco misprice (love some free money) and 50p at instagc. I have a lovely swollen hand from my last few days of clicking and typing so I think I'll give that a rest for a bit!

    I did manage to save £15 a month off my sky bill for the next year (didn't even have to fib!) and have a few things on ebay, a potential handbag sale, and some other bits and pieces percolating so hopefully back on track shortly :)

    A slow start - £1.17 found in a little pile by the washing machine - BF said he'd found me some roadkill - I'm really pleased that he's getting into this as well. :D

    Think I'll start emptying the shrapnel from my purse into my roadkill coin jar too. When I get enough of any coin I bag and bank it. :cool:

    Morning

    Just counted up the coppers out of the pig and I've got £5. That's after 3 months though. And I won't be able to carry them down town and pay them in all at once - they're too heavy!
    I used a token in T*sco for milk yesterday so another 35p. It's slow progress!
    I signed up to adpoints a long time ago and gave up because I hate adverts/advertising/commercialism...the lot! But I've started again and I'll plough through it for £1.25 a week (is this amount right?). I see there's another site that does this but I'm not sure I can stand it!
    Today I'm going to search out 5 books to put on ebay.
    Is there anything around at the moment like the McCains offer? I really missed my vouchers this christmas!
    August Shopping Challenge. 26/8. Budget £250 Spent £256.81.. £6.81 over. So £0.00 a day left.

  • Have begun the groundwork by signing up to almost every site listed on here, and have started making bits of money on surveys etc. Not enough to cash in yet obviously, but will keep going and update when relevant. Have cashed out some money won on LadyLucks bingo, won by using my free £5 so no outlay required. Didn't want to put in card details, so have requested cheque and will update total once it arrives. Have also got two mystery shopping trips on Monday, have started putting annoying 2p, 5p and 1p from purse and lying around the house into a pot to count up at end of month, and am planning to start on clearing out and selling old books etc next week once kids back at school, so although nothing in kitty yet, there are irons in the fire.
