Make £10 a day - January 2014 challenge!! Everybody most welcome to join :)

MrsCautious

I've just added £96.90 to my signature as a series of ms payments has cleared today, I've also added a couple of quid in nectr points and 50p for selling a greetings card.
I'm pleased to have made more than £10 a day this month in total but can see this is my lowest month to date, so being realistic about things I should admit I could have done better, I have kids' clothes and an old phone sat here that I should get sold, I'm going to set a lower target for next month and try and get more organised/motivated for March.

I'm still waiting for some mileage exes to be paid so will see how long this will take now, they can go into Feb.
Good luck to anyone going for it in Feb, it's hard work isn't it?

Adding £2 saved bringing my lunch into work.

Also cancelled a professional subscription and will now save £22 a month as of 1st March. I plan to use that saving to help me with the 52 week money challenge.

Still waiting for one payment for £7.50 for an item on ebay that ended last Sunday. Hoping I get payment and its just someone clinging of for payday! Got one item listed as buy it now for £15 but expect it may take a while to sell. Keeping up with onepoll, qmee and doing a bit of swag bucking on the side. My goal for Feb is get my printer sorted and have a go at some more straight forward mystery shopping jobs in Feb and see how that goes.

Well that's a nice way to finish off January. Swagbucks just issued my latest £5 amazon voucher so I have banked that with amazon making my January total £75/£50

I've been hiding myself away pretty much all month, I've really been struggling the last few months with Low moods, and struggle to even get involved online sometimes
I've spoke to a wellbeing adviser and been assessed, she seems to think i have Anxiety. I have been talking to her once a week for a couple of weeks but i think she misdiagnosed me. So still in the process of trying to sort that out and get the appropriate help

That aside, i have had a very good January, I've not kept tabs on all the bits and bobs but would guess at at least doubling my original target of £310. Alas most of it has gone on car expenses, Tax mot and insurance all due this month :mad:

Ebay has been a good earner for me, but have had more non payers/ late payers this month than i have in all my years ebaying!

Hope everyone well, see you over on Febuarys challenge

This month I was aiming for £310, with £150 from mystery shopping, £100 from Ebay and £60 from other places.

I ended up making £382.50 from mystery shopping, £78.15 from Ebay and £74.75 other income. Not bad at all!

I need to save £830 before May, I had £115 left over from ebay sales before Christmas, so my running total is now £651.24. I'm going to aim for £10 a month again for February, which will mean I have the money I was aiming for, plus most of another bill for £120, which is due in May too.

I've put all this money aside in a separate savings account, pleased that my hard work has paid off.

I've not been counting quidco / topcashback as I include these in my normal budget. I have done a couple of bingo cashbacks in the last couple of weeks though, inspired by people on here, so when these pay off I will add them to my February total (less the money I had to pay to get the cashback). That should be a £20 start to my February total.

Lots of hugs to you moneyspider hope you can be kind to yourself. I know I won't be the only person here who can relate to what you say, I wish you lots of love and luck to help you feel better xxx

I've added 74.97 made up of a paid mileage claim, Qmee and have also included the cost of 12 x 1st class stamps and 4 x large letter stamps sent to me today for taking part in Royal Mail's survey. I'm so sorry I can't remember who here recommended this but I'd like to say thanks anyway. Also I can't link on this phone to show you where it is if anyone would like to take part. Perhaps search rm survey on here and that should help x
