    Can you average it out? ie I've not made £10 EVERY day, but I've averaged out at £28 a day...

    £8 at cash for clothes

    £20 nectar cashed in
    Need to send my books/games off this week and have listed some items on ebay to end on Sunday.
    Couple of you gov surveys done and nectar ad points added which will go towards future amounts.
    Think I will look into the mystery shops and how I will fit those in around work as they seem good earners.
    As it's the 8th today, I should really be on £40 (£5 per day for me) so I'm a little short of target. But I'm feeling positive and everyone's posts are very inspiring. Keep up the good work :T:T

    Of course, the idea is that £10 a day sounds less daunting than £310 a month/£3650 a year etc.

    The idea is to get to the end of the month having made £310 in ways other than your salary/benefits/pension etc and either paid that money off of debts/mortgage or put it in a savings account.

    Breaking it down into lots of different ways of making money helps making it achievable too, £10 from Swagbucks payout here, £10 from a Ebay sale there etc etc but no doesn't have to be exactly £10 a day at all, it all counts.

    (I haven't made anything this month, but I know I will just need to find my get up and go!)

    Good luck.

    One of the companies I do mystery shopping for is looking for shoppers in the following counties: Herefordshire, Yorkshire, Hampshire, Cambridgeshire, Shropshire, Fife, Cumbria, Somerset, Lincolnshire, Warwickshire, Cornwall, Devon & West Sussex.

    If you live in any of these areas, then send me a PM and I will recommend you to them. Hope that's OK, just a couple of people mentioned they would like to give it a try.
  • 61p from using a '10% Off' pet food voucher
    12p A$da Price Guarantee
    30p Qmee

    Not a lot on the face of it, but if I scraped up a similar amount of 'not a lot' in similar ways every day it would still add up to over £360 in a year.

    The stories of the returnee cats were the best part of participating in the thread today though :)
    December 'Make £10 A Day' Challenge - £1.82/£155.00
  • Tues and Wed I managed to scrape up £2.75 between swag bucks and instaGC. Today I got £17 cash for selling some of my icing and cake boxes to a local bakery who had ran short before their order came in :) My other half says I shouldn't count this and only the difference between what I paid and what I charged them (it's not much) but I say phooey to that. I have £17 in my pocket that I didn't have yesterday :D :T

  • Finally moving on up! Got the £30 for selling a compact camera I've never used paid into my bank account today! :-) The grand total so far is £32.57. Hopefully that'll skyrocket on Sunday night when all my eBay listings end!
