    Hello all
    I’m at £165 this month and would like to get to £200.
    I’m including the cost of afternoon tea for 3 people I’ve been given by a restaurant after complaining about a meal!
  • A £5 win (& a lucky dip  :D) on the lottery last night for me.

    @lilly81, you can make it any way you want, as long as its extra, over and above your normal income. So online surveys;  mystery shops; selling things online, or car boots etc;  any sort of hobby you have, maybe making cards, cakes etc and selling; vouchers you earn & loyalty points etc; bank switches, competition wins.  Anything you like. 
    Just decide what sort of target works for you. We call this Make £10 a day, which is a nice round figure. But some of us only go for £5, and some will try for £20.  Just keep posting for help & support, we are a friendly bunch.

    Well some of you are doing very well this month, I seem to be having a really slow month on the survey/study front so far. I do have some CDs I am going to try and sell on one of the sites, we'll see how that goes.

  • I'm now at £69.16 so a bit behind target.  Mostly from Prolific and eBay.  I've started another switch for myself and OH, this time with TSB which is a bit more complicated to get the full amount, and I've also gone through Top Cashback for both.  This should pay out at end of September, so not included in this months target.

    I've made a small start towards next month, I've opened a saving account which pays higher interest then my standard one 😊
