2015 - January ~ Make £10 a day challenge ~ everybody welcome

Aesop

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! Here is to a prosperous and debt free 2015.

This is the 89th month of this challenge, which was first started by Batgirl, in September 2007.

Thanks to Batgirl for starting it, Emmaglet, Nat21luv, Monkeynut, Sweetpeas, Purpleroses, JesaRose, MizMir for keeping the thread going.

I know this first post is long, but please read as it give tips on how this challenge works. Some of the content has changed

If you're new to the challenge don't be scared - here's how it works:

The aim of this challenge is to make £10 extra a day everyday for the month. A lot of people think this is impossible but it can and has been done, over and over. If you feel £10 is too much why not start at £5 or if you're brave join those who aim for £20 a day! Anything extra you make is great so set whatever target you think you can manage.

It also doesn't have to be £10 each and every day - some days you make more and some days you make less, but aim for £300 extra at the end of the month.

The idea is that everyone posts how they are making extra money and these shared ideas help all of us to learn new ways to help cut debt or earn/save money.

Wages from your main job

Me please! £10 a day is my aim again

Aesop

Hello all.I asked Emma if I could take over Jan as new year, new start for me, need to find a salaried job and have a lot of financial goals in mind, one being having a free christmas. So I thought running the thread at the start of the year would keep me focused.

I have got rid of virgintv, so need to buy a roku set top box x 2 and set everything up ready for switchover on Saturday. This is going to be fun reprogramming wireless printer, and new password and ip for internet etc.

I found that we were paying a lot for something where we watched a handful of channels. And prices go up in February.

somerandom

Thanks for new thread. Did well on my December challenge so I'd like to sign up for£10 a day again please.

emmaglet

I'm going to go all in for £1,000 in January. Crazy, I know, but I've got a large amount coming from a freelance job.
