I am trying to think of something I could make and sell to grow this money quicker ,I am quite good at flower arranging so I might try making up some bouquets ,baskets etc and see how I get on

Hi @try_harder I have just read your thread.

I haven't looked into blogging or youtube but I know you can make money from it although it can take time to build it up, maybe you could do some how to clips for flower arranging etc

I would like to work on a 6 or 7 year time frame although 5 would be great so I will watch your progress with interest.

Love your millionaire challenge @try_harder
You've probably already thought of them but Prolific surveys are good for making small amounts of money and matched betting is good too (I only did it for a short while a few years ago before my attention was taken up by kids but it was profitable during that time.) 
Will be cheering you on 🥇

Thank you ajmoney ..I might be ok to chat on YT as long as I don't have to show my face and could keep my house /rooms etc clean enough but a good idea .Thank you 
Thank you MerryHen . I am doing surveys as they come up and have just had a £50 cheque from Populuslive. I haven't ever tried matched betting ,I will suggest it to my husband ,he might enjoy that .
I have been watching Nicola today at the frugal cottage talking about the seven streams of income ,at the minute we have two I guess like most people ,our business and our dividends /profit from our Isa which is relatively small at the minute. We need to find five more ,I shall be looking in to this next to see what ideas I can come up with

Week 7/290
Well ,I have had my best week ever ,just goes to show what I can do when I put my mind to it ,mind you I was very lucky too this week so unlikely the numbers will be this high again but I turned one buy at £50 into £150 and one buy at £100 to over £300 .My small amounts came to £38.49.So my totals for this week are 
Money saved for Mort £403.64 total £2461.60
Money saved for Millionaires Challenge £537.49 total £1178.40
Total saved this week £941.13 !!!!!
I shall definitely stick to what I am doing ,my main thing is writing a list of things to do each day and making sure I do them ,this has helped enormously

Wow that is good TryHarder. You have really got your mojo back with the buying and selling. Are you using EBay ?

Aims for this week ,week 8 .
To save at least £278 towards mortgage and to save at least £135 for Millionaires Challenge ..I find it so much better if I write my goals down at the start of each week and so far this is working well for me ..This morning I invested most of the money saved for MC into my ISA ,now to make last weeks £38.49 in to something bigger by at least doubling it once

Week 8 /290 
Money saved for mortgage £367.08 total £2828.68
Money saved for MC £53.22 total £1231.62
Not such a good week this week for MC but all money is in the ISA and is slowly creeping up in value
