A question about : June 2014 make Ј10 a day challenge

Hello and welcome to all newbies and regulars.

This is the 82nd 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.

  • Abbreviations - a list of useful abbreviations if there are any we say you don't understand, please let us know and I will update this post.
    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.

    Please can you put me down for Ј10 a day I had good intentions in May, but it went to pot... this month I am raring to go- bags of enthusiasm and will power.
  • Ј10 a day please.

    Didn't seem worth joining the May thread for 3 days but seem to have accumulated a few bits already

    Thank you for putting on this challenge
  • Thanks Emma
    $200 For the month please
  • Ј10 a day for me please Emma.
  • Hi Emma - I'm on holiday during the second week in June and will be spending much of the rest of the month working on putting another revenue stream in place instead of doing anything I can immediately profit from, so I'd probably best aim low this time round. Please put me down for Ј100 for the entire month - thanks
  • Hi, Can you put me down for Ј5 a day please
    Thanks
