Home Based Enterprises & Interest Beater Challenge.

Frugaldom

Hi Bails, well done! £6 free money is excellent.

I've just rejigged my sig (again) and managed to fit in all of the interest beater figures. I've made the equivalent of 2.75% interest on my virtual £4000 (living allowance) so far this tax year. As bank rates plummet, our aim, on this challenge is to beat 6.5% - something that few of the ISAs are offering right now. In fact, I can't find ANY offering 6.5% for a single year account. Does that mean the Interest Beaters challenge could outstrip the official ISA? :rotfl:

Ok i'm lagging seriously behind!!!

Thinks todo are register with gala for a free thursday. I have £157 in quidco from various things but as that has been from prior things i'm not counting it.

I must have a go at ebay.

I posted on the DFW board and they have suggested proof reading for extra cash while i'm on maternity leave so need to look at that too.

I wish writer share would come backup, also need to look at slice the pie andthe internet assesor jobs plus maybe becoming a chat host.

Not got a clue as yet. I will spend this evening once daughter in bed with a note pad,pen and doing every possible search online to see what i can dig up.

I'd be interested in the proof reading too please. I'm thinking you have to have a qualification to do this but I could be wrong! Surely years of marking essays is good enough?

Well done on your Ebay Sammy, and thanks for reminding me that I have some Ebay to add - £26 (minus fees which I haven't seen/worked out yet, and 4p extra on postage!).

Doh I just tried to write a reply and my DD managed to !!!!!! it. Let's try again.

I would be interested in the chat host thing and would be grateful any hints and tips as I have couple of hours spare in the evenings when DD is sleeping.

Have applied for AQA and am waiting for them to send me the test. Fingers crossed I pass the test and that I have some knowledget that they will want to pay me for.

This challenge is running from 6th April 2008 to 5th April 2009, so it's early days yet Our targets are the amount of interest we would have made if we had a full year's living expenses earning 6.5% interest in the bank. The object is to rasie that money without spending money and without it being part of what you would normally earn in the course of a normal day.

If you prefer, you can stick to the Government's official tax free cash savings allowance, which would earn you £234. Some of us have chosen £4000 because we are on challenge budgets of £4000.

Let me know your target amount and I'll get it added to post 1 and welcome to the challenge
