Make an EXTRA £10 a Day in March 2023

February was a fantastic month for Make an Extra £10 a Day challenge, and saw a number of participants achieve their Personal Bests, which is so inspiring - particularly for the shortest month! Here is the MARCH thread ready for some Spring Joy!
For anyone looking for a new challenge to get their money looking a little healthier, jump onboard to see what you can achieve! The purpose of this challenge is to try and make an extra £10 a day on top of your normal income to help things along, eg. paying off debt, making savings, paying for holidays, overpaying mortgages or even extra spending money. Every little helps, and we've seen participants reaping the rewards of giving themselves a target and using the group for inspiration and encouragement to get there.
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. This isn't a competition to see who can make the most; everyone is on their own journey and doing a variety of different activities to raise extra funds, so please set your own target, do your own thing. If you feel £10 is too much, why not start at £5 (or less if you want)? Or, if you're brave, join those who aim for £20 a day! (We saw a few occasions of topping £1000 last year!) 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 to average £10 a day (or whatever your target is) extra by the end of the month.
This is the 187th month of the challenge which was started by Batgirl in September 2007. Here is a link to the original thread as I am sure some of you are interested to read where it all began. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/542835/make-10-a-day-extra-every-day-in-sept-challenge
Thanks to Batgirl for starting it and for everyone who has kept it going for over 15 years.
If you would like to join in, let us know by commenting in the thread with how much you are going to aim for. If you would like some ideas, or recommendations, or just check-in for a bit of encouragement, you'll find lots of friends within this group, and you are welcome to join in at any time.
Good luck for the month!

I'm in and aiming for £10 a day so £310. I started off doing this in Jan of this year and was convinced I wouldn't be able to do it. I was wrong! Thanks for all the encouragement and support. I'm looking forward to giving this my best shot.
