I had loads of clutter to sell and so been very busy & still will be until it's all finally gone 
Other Money Makers: Cashback, FREE Vouchers, Stamps. No interest from savings has been included as these form a part of other MSE Challenges 
Personally, I value my time so I don't completing Swagbucks & online surveys even though I've reedeemed some good earnings in the past (£200+ a month) - They're nowhere near as generous now as they used to be & tasks take much longer to get decend rewards

This year I've used my valuable time & energy listing decluttered items for sale and have made far more by doing so

#3 updates for May, June and July below, I’ve been keeping track of what I’ve been doing but a house move and some family news has meant that I haven’t been devoting as much time to side hustles as I would like or need to, hoping for better for the rest of the year.

#6 randomly reporting in. I'm not good at keeping a running total of what I've earned in each category, each month, but I do transfer what I make into 'pots' in a savings account, so these are the totals. I've included any interest earned in the savings account within the total, as life's too short for that level of detail.Prolific £592.95, Octopoints £5.20, Topcashback £393.08, Tesco Clubcard challenges £89.90, Misc Sales £321, Airtime £50, Shopmium £26.60, Everup £20.32.
Total (26/8/25) £1498.75/£2025 74%I'm making far more use of cashback sites than I've ever done in the past. No supermarket shopping gets done now without it going on a giftcard bought from a cashback site, latest favourite for good rates being Everup. Other favourites are clothing in the sale from Crew which earns cashback from TCB, credit on Airtime and points on my John Lewis credit card, all for the same transaction.
