Happy New Year! (In advance as I may be dead by the 1st of January if this illness carries on).

Wanted to get us off the starting blocks with this! I personally want to make £250 from new sites I've never used before. I'll probably forget to update during the month so will see how I'm going at the end of January!

First time poster, but I'm in - aiming for £500 over and above my 'day job' (which is already freelance and mildly precarious...) earnings.

Hi everyone, i havent posted here in such a long time what with the little devils/cherubs :)
i used to do the website testing before but having to work around the kids is a different ball game this time.
Lovely january means i need to make some cash and im excited to get back in the game and work my way through the list of jobs- thanks @katykicker

Im aiming for £200. Im would be so chuffed with this, but £200 right now seems impossible.
Lets see what happens! positive thinking!

Hi Jon,

I'm going to give a couple of new things a try each month from the list above. I'm also going to sell some of the crap I've got lying around the house. I'm feel like I'm drowning in stuff, so I reckon this will take me most of the year!
