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!

Excellent, added you to the list! Any ideas of how you'll earn extra? Maybe I could make a list so if we're lagging inspiration, the list will be there to help!

lulu_92

Put me down for £5 a week and I'll see how I do!

SavingSassy

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!

nat21luv

Im really looking forward to this! If you have any ideas at all, do let us now and I can add it to the list

I did a car boot sale yesterday and made £85,72 profit but I dont think I'll add it all to this challenge. Think I'll add £10 and make up the rest of the week from ebay

Thanks for starting the challenge :-)

Excellent Hummingbird!

I was in sainsburys earlier and noted that they had a toy sale. It felt really good to pick up some super cheap toys that I had put by in only the short space of time this challenge has been going!
