Make £10 a Day - December 2013 Challenge

Options
:hello: and welcome to all newbies and regulars.

This is the 76th month of this challenge, which was first started by Batgirl, in September 2007 Thanks to Batgirl for starting it, Nat21luv, Monkeynut, Sweetpeas, Purpleroses, JesaRose and MizMir for keeping the thread going.

I know this first post is long, but please read as it give tips on how this challenge works.

If you're new to the challenge don't be scared - here's how it works:

The aim of this challenge is to make £10 extra a day everyday for the month. A lot of people think this is impossible but it can and has been done (and in some cases some show offs have even doubled or tripled the monthly challenge).

If you feel £10 is too much why not start at £5 or if you're brave join those who aim for £20 a day! Anything extra you make is great so set whatever target you think you can manage.

The idea is that everyone posts how they are making extra money and these shared ideas help all of us to learn new ways to help cut debt or earn/save money.

What cannot be added: wages from your main job
What can be added: overtime at work, income from a 2nd job, daily clicks, interest, vouchers, mystery shopping...the list is endless.

This board moves so fast so here's some ideas for people to make money. (Click the blue words (links) for some shortcuts to threads/links on each subject):

Sell your old books/DVDs/CDs/games here:

Play, CEX, zapper, we buy books, Amazon Trade In.

Have old mobiles/laptops/cameras/satnavs/consoles? Trade them in here:

    Hello! Thank you Aesop for the new thread, I hope you are ok xx

    I'd like to be in for £20 a day for December please as I'm anticipating payments that should take me past £10 a day, whether they materialise is another matter.

    Good luck everyone, hope we can have some great totals x

    Ooo this looks interesting, can you put me down for £10 a day please? Can I just check something, if I 'find' Tosco's points receipts and put them on my card do I declare it on here at the time? I've also never checked Asta price thingumyjig so perhaps I should ;-)

    Just checked and DS2's very expensive mountaineering boots have a bid on Fleabay (the money they make is mine), so I might make half of my target tomorrow!!!
    Thanks Aesop for running this thread, it could become addictive :D
