    A slow start to the month, spent on a coffee yesterday, and then off on a little trip today. Hopefully it will look for my spirits. Thank you @cathybird for this thread,

    Hi everyone, I thought it might be useful to share this thread for those of us who are aiming to generate a little bit of extra income alongside NSDs.

    This is separate from the ‘make £2026 in 2026’ thread. There used to be a monthly ‘Make £10 a day’ and this one has carried it on but as an overall discussion for the year:


    it’s a very friendly place 🌟


    hope this may be helpful 🙏
