Make an EXTRA £10 a Day in February 2023

Hollie_Hobbie

Lloyds switches for both myself and OH paid out £200 today, so that's an additional £400 to the challenge.

New total is £541.30 so have exceeded the target (makes up for my poor performance in January )

Nice work Holly! That's brilliant! x

I’ve been given 2 vouchers together worth £120 from Jet2, as they are valid for travel up to well into 2024, I’m counting these, as they will be used against a couple of weekends away, I didn’t want to count something I wouldn’t use. In the same way, I’ve been given a £20 voucher for my local theatre that lasts to 2025, hope to make good use of it. 

I’ve added £14.74 from Prolific and some ISA interest I forgot to add in at the very end of January. No chance now of me cashing out from Curious Cat in the immediate future - I’m in the doghouse!


Hoping to list some items on eBay for 10 days tonight but I may not have the time. 

I’m up to £786.48 but that’s really unusual with birthday presents and a bank switch included. 

Might give myself time off eBay! 

I also got a refund for shoes I decided I couldn’t walk in! I won’t count this but was well impressed with myself at sorting it.

£5.50 Tesco voucher so 11.05
Did remove some rewards from my bank account over.   
Pet insurance is due to pay out but I'm not going to count that as I've already paid the bill and it was 4 times the max they will pay out so it isn't really a win and there was so much faff around it I thought they might not pay.

Had a really personally stressful month so am not stressing I am way behind this month.

£1.16 cash out from Qmee and £2.35 from TCB.
Total now at an insane (for me) £406.60 x

I'd be tempted to add the money for the refund for shoes, as it's money you wouldn't have had if you hadn't sorted it

I am including a refund from Argos for part payment for a sofa £86 as I wasn't expecting it. Also cashed out Toluna £10 tes£o voucher making my total £502.60!
Still waiting for my Argos £39 'sorry' gift card but I'm going to chase it up if I've not got it by Wed!

Ah thank you! I’ve counted 2 earlier credit notes from clothes I took back months or years after I bought them and they languished in my wardrobe, so I was chuffed with that, with these I bought them for a holiday and didn’t wear them so I feel like I’ve saved money rather than made it. 😀With a few things I add I think, should I? Like gift vouchers which you have to spend more to use, but then I do think, fair enough! And lovely people on here say let’s do the challenge as flexibly as we like.

In other news I was offered a new part-time job today and talked myself into 25% more money than was originally offered. I think I need a lie down. So I’m not counting that either but massive turning point for me. 

Have a lovely weekend all.
