February 2014 - Make £10 a day challenge - everybody welcome :)

BlueCow1975

£42.67 added for remaining payments that have come in today / profit from ebay sales.

Thanks to this challenge my next account is now paid in full and I have managed to just about stay out of my overdraft. Can now turn my attention to getting my CC paid off which is on 0% until August then I will finally be able to focus more on savings.

Thanks to all that post on here. It really does keep me motivated.:beer:

Hope everyone is doing ok this month.......
This is my second month of doing it this time(started a few years ago but didn't keep it up but I am determined this time to keep going!!). I made £39.26 profit on ebay this weekend and then today quidco paid me out £45...so add that to the running total of £91.02 and I have £175.28 so far this month......which I am more than happy with:)


Good luck for this week everyone xx

Ooooo-money for weighing in old clothes-how does that work? I always bag up torn/damaged clothes etc but give them to charity shops as rags-can we take them somewhere to get the cash (OK-should feel slightly guilty as then charity shop missing out but......)

Only a Ms shop for £12 for me today but a couple of enquiries about preloved sales and OH forgot to take thing to work so still waiting on £20 from that....:o

Here's what I've added over last couple of days:

£3 from Pinecone via PayPal
£2 after tweeting a supermarket in a lighthearted manner about a very minor issue!
£3.50 for selling a girl's cardigan to a friend - that was how much I asked, I know I could have got more, but I had my reasons for setting price that low
38p Brand Match coupon
16p for searching 'two bedroom house in Shrewsbury' on google on Qmee
8.58 eBay after fees and postage -- more items ending tomorrow, fingers crossed
£1.84 nectar points added, not yet spent, through shopping, adpoints and fuel.

I've had an emergency spend of £45 so far on my car which was spewing out smoke at the weekend, getting a new part tomorrow, fingers crossed it won't be overly expensive. Am going away for a few days so there will be no money making from me.

Still got a few things I'm hoping to sort by the end of the month, including selling two old phones but it would help if I could find both of them!

I started this month aiming for £5 a day so pleased to be now trying to get up to/beyond £500 with sales planned/money owed in mileage and mystery shopping fees -- though I ended up cancelling two at the weekend through car needing attention!

Good luck everyone, thanks to all who contribute here, it's really helpful to read xx

Just £1.50 made today on surveys and a little MS tomorrow but at least feel I am getting back into the swing of it again


I am still using my challenger 12 from last year but now I've had a look I do not appear to be on the list at all ????


Have a wonderful Wednesday one and all

There are several companies who buy clothes/shoes/bags/teddies etc by the kilo. I use Envir0cl0thes but another major one is c@sh4clothes. I usually bag up anything that I don't think would sell on eb@y. They do ask that the clothes etc be in useable condition, though most of the time they don't even look in the bag Xx

Each month a new thread is opened (usually by Aesop) and we all declare ourselves 'in'. We are then added to the list in the order that we have asked to join that month. I think it would be too much for Aesop to dot us around with different numbers, try to remember who has which number or assume people are 'in' again when they might not be.

Perhaps it is easier for people to change their challenger number in their signature each month? Xx

Haven't listed for the last few days and only a small amount to add but I have been reading every day as it keeps me on track.

I have noticed that other people include yellow sticker items and I have decided to include these in my total from now on.

Shopping on meat now in freezer £4.64
E-bay sales £3.49 (don't think I can give up the day job just yet)
Tesco Voucher £2.50

Total £10.63 (will add to signature later)

I did receive several other vouchers from Tesco's and a £3.00/ £60.00 spend at Morrison's but I have not included these at the moment and will only do so if I actually use them.
