The Make Money For Christmas Challenge

Hello all,
In the last few weeks with the weather turning, the 'C' word has been thrown around a fair bit (no, not THAT C word!:D)
In 18 weeks to the day it will be Christmas Day :rudolf: and that got me thinking; wouldnt it be lovely to have money put aside when the Sainsburys sale starts in October? Or when Tesco has a toy sale? Or when Amazon slashes its prices? instead of adding to debt?
So Ive thought of a challenge to help ease the burden of finding the extra money for the gifts for the kids and family- The Make Money For Christmas Challenge! :xmastree:
Use this thread for motivation to earn extra, heres some ideas of how;
*overtime at work,
*surveys,
*bubblews,
*swagbucks,
*consumer pulse,
*Mystery Shopping,
*ebay (old xmas toys perhaps?!)
*car boot sales
*ciao
Set your own weekly challenge as only you know how much you need. Im in the challenge for £20 per week.
£5pw x 18wks= £90
£10pw x 18wks= £180
£15pw x 18wks= £270
£20pw x 18wks= £360
Best of luck challengers!

I know I have a few things that I can eBay
I have a few points in Swagbucks but I haven't done it in ages, I'm sure I could try and start that again! Can't think of much more to start... will nab some of your ideas from above though!
