Here is a nice new thread for July. . Get creative and lets see how we do this month.

Threads like this have ben going for a while now and really seem to motivate people. So come on everybody, this is the place to post how much money you have made each day, over and above your normal income.  This can be from selling stuff on line or at car boots etc, doing surveys, mystery shops, receipt scanning apps, bank switches, cashback, or anything else you can think of.  Do you have a side hustle? Are you crafty? Do you bake cakes to sell?  Let us know and share your tips and ideas as well.  

£10 is a nice round figure that everybody seems to like, but if you want to aim higher, that is brilliant.  Or if you think you can only manage £5 a day, or even £2.  Whatever target suits you best.  Personally I like to aim low and then I feel better if I beat it, but one day I'll branch out and go for the full £10 a day.  

In the mean time, let us know you targets and how you are doing so far. ...Welcome to previous posters and newbies.

    I'm kicking this off with a target of £5 a day, so £155 in total. Off to a slow start with nothing made yesterday, and today is looking a bit dodgy so far.  I'm sure it will get going soon though.

    Well done everybody so far, doing well. That was a nice surprise @Hummingbird0_12, always nice to find money you didn't know was there. 
    I'm still not off the mark yet this month. Done a few surveys but waiting for them to cash out.
