  • Hello everyone,
    Dear Aesop thank you for the hard work you put into the forum. Long time no post but I did keep an eye on mse, of course. And you encouraged me to sign up to this challenge, so here I am, my first ever challenge of this kind, could you please put me down for £5/day in February? Thank you very much and good luck to everyone. Xx

    Can I join please? £10 a day is a tall order for me but gonna aim high! £280 this month.

    I have a question.... does buying reduced items count (i.e grocery shopping money saved by buying yellow sticker food?)
  • Determined to cash out my Valued Opinions voucher this weekend but bloody survey is refusing to complete! Stuck on the last page, will move back but not forwards! Have emailed their support team and taken a screen shot in case I need proof but that's the first one I've been eligible for in ages, quite annoyed!

    If it was stuff you needed anyway and you put the money you save in a savings account or pay off a debt it can be counted.
    That's what I d anyway :)

    Hello everyone, thank you Aesop for running this challenge, this month I'd like to aim for £5 a day please, trying to summon the energy to plan how I can do it x

    I don't count savings from buying YS stuff as for me, my challenge is about creating extra income in my hand, if that makes sense, but I do count any money off vouchers, loyalty points etc. I do the Grocery Challenge on the old style board though and this coming month I'm aiming to spend up to (yeah right) £150 for the three of us and our dog -- so my extra money making can hopefully cover that.

    Good luck everyone for a fabulous Feb xx

    £5 a day is lower for me but I may take some time to plan and higher my target to £15/£20 a day in one or more future months, I need to make those plans a reality. I may be talking complete nonsense of course, most months I have managed to make over £20 a day but I can see it gets harder as you go along -- I had a lot of clutter to sell xx

  • Hi There...I disappeared in January but was still doing the Challenge behind the Scenes...and managed an extra £75 for the month which is BRILLIANT for me...so I was pleased.

    Can I aim for £125 for the Month please....this will mostly come from Ebay Sales and some extra Work that I'm currently doing...

    Thanks :D
  • Hi all, I am an avid reader of lots of challenges but never actually join in - am normally on the grabbit board lol so should have lots of bits to sell etc, so I thought I would give myself some motivation and join you all if thats ok with £5 a day to start me off :-)
