A question about : December 2014 ~Make Ј10 a day challenge~
This is the 88th month of this challenge, which was first started by Batgirl, in September 2007.
Thanks to Batgirl for starting it, Nat21luv, Monkeynut, Sweetpeas, Purpleroses, JesaRose, MizMir and of course special thanks to Aesop for keeping the thread going.
I know this first post is long, but please read as it give tips on how this challenge works. Some of the content has changed
If you're new to the challenge don't be scared - here's how it works:
The aim of this challenge is to make Ј10 extra a day everyday for the month. A lot of people think this is impossible but it can and has been done, over and over. If you feel Ј10 is too much why not start at Ј5 or if you're brave join those who aim for Ј20 a day! Anything extra you make is great so set whatever target you think you can manage.
It also doesn't have to be Ј10 each and every day - some days you make more and some days you make less, but aim for Ј300 extra at the end of the month.
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.

How to add a signature - at the top of the page, you will see a green toolbar, click on User CP, on the left hand side, scroll down, until you see Edit Signature. You can then type in your signature, but you are limited by number of lines and characters, but it will tell you if it is too long. Try to make the font smaller usually helps. You can edit colours and add smileys too.
Edit Avatar - if you want a nice picture like mine do the same as above, USER CP, then scroll down to edit Avatar. There are size restrictions, but you can have most things you like. Just be careful if you are using google images they are free images and not patented/copyrighted.
Private Message - you can send someone a PM (Private message) again using User CP (Control Panel). It is on the left hand side. You need to have the right user name otherwise it will go to the wrong person. To find out if you have messages, look at the top of the page, where it says private messages, (PMs) and there will be a number in bold if you have any unread. You can subscribe to email so you receive them in your email too, which is useful for reading without logging into MSE. But to reply you do need to log in.
Roadkill - roadkill is money found abandoned with no owner, on the streets, in washing machines, in the pockets of beloved's clothes when you are about to put them into the washing machine, , on the floor of your car, etc.

36 thriftymoo Ј30 - Hi
Please can you add me @ Ј155 for the month, this is my first month of doing this.
What do people find is the best way to make extra cash?
Tom - Hello,
Please count me in for this month. DH is now out of work until late January therefore I am aiming to make Ј500 and I will check in every day to update so that I can keep track. - Thanks emmaglet
Please count me in for Ј5 a day - maybe next month I'll be brave and go for Ј10! - Count me in again, please. This challenge has been just what I need, I wish I'd found you years ago.
Will go for the full Ј10 now (feeling brave after managing Ј5 and Ј7 since I started in October) but I don't expect December to be too lucrative as there'll be so much else to take up my time. Still, nothing ventured and all that
Good Luck, all. - Oh December is going to be a tough month, pls put me down for Ј100 if I am lucky.
- Put me down for Ј200 for December. It's going to be tough!
- Please put me down for Ј10 a day thanks
- I'm going to be brave again! Please put me down for Ј10 a day. Thank you
- Please put me down for $5 a day, thanks.
- Hi,

A monthly total of $150 & Ј20 For me please - Thanks for the new thread Emma! I'm in for the usual Ј10 per day please.
Lucky Xx - Thanks for the thread, please will you put me down for my usual Ј10. Ta x
- Hiya everyone
Thanks for the Fred Emma
Please put me down for usual
Ј10 a day so Ј 310 this month.
It'll be uphill as it's December but needs must eh

Lx - Hi All
Can you put me down for Ј5 a day again, although I failed miserably in November I'm hoping December may be a little better.
xx - Hello
Please may I join at Ј5/day?
Many thanks - I missed November altogether what with my newborn going in and out of hospital etc.
Please put me down for Ј10 a day in December.
