£53.05 unexpected credit interest from my Cash ISA so that takes my total to £179.89.
I had originally targetted £5 a day as this is my fiirst challenge and wanted to break myself in gently, however, as I have already beaten it, I am going to go the whole hog and aim for £300!0 -

So..... there I was minding my own business looking for ways to make/save money.
Next try was checking my credit card receipts.
It appears I had some fun with one of the betting companies around the Grand National and when I thought the debit had failed, in fact they'd taken the money out 3 times! Plus I already had £10 in the account (once my winnings were placed in there) so I've just added another £40 to the pot.
I also found a £35 parking charge I'd forgotten to add to my expenses. Now claimed back
With £20 quidco from those nice people at Gala and joining up with the clicky links, I've now got another £40 from cashback! NB: I'm leaving daily clicks out of this at the moment because I have a different challenge for that money.
So total now stands at:
£193 + £40 + £35 + £40 = £308!
Wow! I never thought I'd be able to make £10 a day, leave alone in 15 days.
Many thanks for the challenge. I now have to work out how to do it next month!The smaller the monkey the more it looks like it would kill you at the first given opportunity.

Hi everyone, just to report my total is at £362.62/£750 today. Been experiencing a lull these past few days so will hope to get things going again today with the 5p listing day on eBay! I have also just purchased my car insurance via Quidco. It was the cheapest quote anyway, and then Quidco were giving £75 cashback! It isn't tracking yet as it says it can take up to two days, so fingers crossed!
Also had a job interview yesterday for a part time job and they said they would let me know today. Not holding out much hope, but still
I like to make money
Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder
:j Make £10 a day challenger - it pays for trips to Florida! :j

ITS THURSDAAAAAY!
Can you say...
FREE BONGO!!!
Doncha just love Sharon Osborne?! I was ecstatic with my first ever win on Monday - £20 isn't to be sniffed at for a couple of minutes work booking the games every hour!
I've also signed up for Take A Break bingo. I have a feeling that was one of the sites that most of us hammered something rotten in Jan/Feb, but it's a totally different style now and they do the free scratchcard offer. Had to deposit £10 of my own money, but - apparently - you get the scratchcard every day with a prize between 5p and £500. I've 'won' 75p so far, so have £10.75 in the account that they say I can withdraw at any time. Edit: Make sure you say no to the sign up 100% deposit bonus, otherwise you're not allowed to withdraw your cash, they make you bet it so many times first!
Here's a link to a £4.50 printable coupon that you should be able to use against your groceries in Tesco
, or Asda if you can find one that still accepts internet coupons:

(If you say 'no, it didn't print', it lets you print it twice!)
I got a barrowload of surveys last night, so that's another £4.50. Loads of Piggy points available for me today=£1.40.
Trying to motivate myself to do some 5p Ebay. I hate Ebay!0 -

Am having a rubbish month - only 5p piggy points today. Sainsbury's sent me £15 in money off vouchers but you have to spend £25 on each shopping visit to get £5 off:rolleyes: If things get desperate and I need to do another job then I might consider it but I am trying to save - its been an expensive month.
I had one ebay sale and the other thing hasn't sold for 2 weeks on the trot - these were what I considered test items so I guess, I will have to list more and work out the postage/packing costs.0
