Make £10 a day March 2015 challenge thread

Aesop · 1 March 2015 at 12:37AM

:hello: Hello and welcome everybody

This is the 91st 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.

What cannot be added:
Wages from your main job

Hiya everyone

HAPPY ST DAVID'S DAY - Leeks and daffys

Thanks a million Aesop for the new 'Fred'.

Please put me in for £130 for March as on holidays and only here for 13 days of the month. Don't know if I've any chance of doing it but I'll give it a try.

Hope you all have a magnificent money-making month
