    Hello all, been another unexpectedly busy month so another rubbish one for extra money making! I might have missed target by miles but need to remember an extra £117.31 is not to be sniffed at :)

    Sorry for being a bit late on parade and not posting much in the way of blow-by-blow results. Here's a potted rundown of January...

    14.10 - Asda Price Guarantee
    1.55 - Qmee
    3.92 - Crowdology
    23.95 - Ebay sales
    0.61 - '10% Off ' pet food coupon
    3.00 - Pinecone
    15.00 - Ebay research panel
    140.00 - Unexpected late Christmas gift to us from father-in-law

    This brings the total to £202.13, exceeding my target of £155 for the month. I do feel a bit of a 'failure' though (for want of a better word), because the cash gift formed the bulk of the total and I know I would not even have come close on the strength of my own efforts.

    I'll just have to try to do better on the February thread. I'll see you all over there shortly :)
    December 'Make £10 A Day' Challenge - £1.82/£155.00
  • I have acquired some loose change and roadkill from a variety of places. Auntie found a penny when we were shopping and she gave it to me and OH gave me around 10 pence in change from his job.

    I got £3 from a survey site.

    So I didn't meet target but I am happy to report that in total I made... Only ten pounds off target and I am really happy with that, it's so much more than I would I have made had I not stuck with this challenge. Right into February we go!

    No. 80 Total = £105.89/£155.00

    Swagbucks £5
    Fabric Sales on insta gram - £182.99

    Dear respondent,

    unfortunately our Mobile Trends study is now closed. We kindly ask you to delete the app from your phone
    if you haven't done so.

    You can look out for new app studies around the end of January/ beginning of February
    .

    Had notification of their new app this week - no upfront info on what it does, but it promises cash rewards so installed it to see what it does. Just seems to be a survey app - 'we'll let you know when a survey is available'

    This is a little disappointing compared to their old app (£5 per month for doing nothing) - and there are lots of survey reward schemes around, most of which take ages to get decent credit on. But perhaps this one is better than those - will have to wait for a survey!

    Anyone else had the invitation and tried it yet?

    A bit late to the party but I aimed for £310 for January and my total was £330.07 :D

    Just found the feb board and realised the challenges have their own board now so that will make it easier to follow :)
