I just logged into Nationwide to start the process of earning £125 for switching a bank account to them. While I was there I noticed they've kindly paid me 24p interest. So my total so far is... 24p!

Woohoo!! Your off! Got to start somewhere and 24p is 24p!

Money making faded at end of last month but made £236.34 so happy with that.

Going to aim for £10 a day again - going to do some bank switches for myself and OH, and force myself to eBay. Have lots to sell but just need to do it 🙂

That's brilliant! My OH just got his £175 paid into his account yesterday, so he (who is not drowning in debt and earns a good living) has treated him to a load of wine!

That is very much the problem with selling...the just getting on and doing it part.

I've got a £4.82 Sainsbury's voucher I just found today! (It is mine! just didn't know I had it!) So, it's a start. I AM 100% getting up and doing some surveys tomorrow! I want to somehow make some actual cash tomorrow. I also have a play pen that is brand new to dig out and sell, so I'm hoping to get up and running with that!

I got £45 cashback through Top Cashback for changing my breakdown cover from the AA to RAC. I'm not going to count it for this challenge though because it says it takes an average 26 weeks to track. Still, it'll help with the March 2023 challenge I also received my first £66 electricity credit from the government - not counting that either given what's happened to the electric bill!

I spent yesterday opening new savings accounts, moving money around to optimise interest payments, and setting up standing orders to meet all the minimum pay in requirements. And I started a bank account switch to Nationwide which should earn me £125 (to add to the 24p interest ). Felt like quite a productive day!

I claim a total of £10.56 so far made up of little bits of bank interest and cashback that I've claimed.

That's brilliant! I'm was counting as I had earned it before, but I think I agree with you, I'm going to switch to counting as the money is in my hand/bank/PayPal this month. I think this could help me to focus on the little daily effort rather than the big ticket things that don't pay out straight away.

Both me and OH have applied for bank switches so that's £350 hopefully to come at some point - might have to be for next month's challenge.

Also done this week's meal planning and some batch cooking which I think helps reduce grocery spends.

Still avoiding the eBay pile ....

When I changed to first, as soon as I'd met the DD and pay in following them closing my LLoyds accuont, they paid within a couple of days. It was really quick! I saw Natwest's deal doesn't pay out until January, but I'm doing that one next I think! 
  
Ditto! Still avoiding the Ebaying! I can't do it! I just can't! (I know I have to!!

Oo would be good if it's that quick ☺️

I'm even contemplating doing the paperwork to avoid the eBay 😂
