Can I raise £10k by means other than full time wages?

Wow Gemmzie that's brilliant - congrats. What sort of things did you do?

Ebay, mystery shopping, surveys, selling old mobiles, a big competition win (£200!), matched betting, avon. Just little bits but it adds up.

Give the £10 a day challenge a go too, I started on £5 but it's quite easy to get into it and you pick up loads of tips from the challenge threads.

Thanks. Will look at the challenge threads.

Morning everyone.

I posted this thread last night and got some really positive feedback - wondering if anyone else had any other ideas that haven't been suggested yet?

Def head over to the "pay off £20k by Christmas 2008" and the "£10 a day" challenges. Also on another board on MSE there is an "up your income" board, which will give you loads of ideas, mystery shopping, slice the pie, etc etc.....some don't pay much, but every penny you earn makes a difference if you pay it off your debt.

Hi I'm pretty new here, and I have been looking into these survey sites and mystery shoppers and was worried that they always ask for your date of birth?so you give them all you personal details, how safe are they as identity theft is so rife!!!

Here is a great way of clearing a few debts. It's only beneficial though if you live in Wales

It depends where you live, but focus groups are also a possibility.

Hi Spacecadetindebt

I'm quite new on here too. I have always been dubious about putting in my details, but I might sign up to one's that alot of people on here use and say are good payers. I really want to pay my debts, but it is so hard with ID theft - do you sign up to things and take a chance or not sign up and take that bit longer paying it off?
