    Quick update on the grocery spends, £41.41 spent to take advantage of £8 coupon, this covers all meals for the week and beyond and lots of store cupboard essentials. DH and I also did more batch cooking at the weekend so the freezer is well-stocked. Budget of £125 for the month is looking achievable.

    Just OP'd £25 thanks to some eB*y sales and a bit of TT'ing.


    Spent only a few pounds on groceries for this week (and managed to use a voucher to reduce cost even further) as we were away all weekend and mostly eating out of the freezer this week as very busy. Packed lunches al sorted so should have no grocery spends until Saturday now.


    Quick update on my goals for the month:

    1. Mortgage to £41,750 - OP £70 - £25/£70
    2. eBay sales of £30 - £18/30
    3. Grocery budget £125 - £39.21/£125
    4. Cash out my OnePoll account - done! Waiting for funds to hit.

    Thanks both :) Plan is to get into the 30s following pay day at the end of this month if I can... and to be MF by the end of next year, though I think that will be a real stretch (if we're even still at this property by then)

    2. eBay sales of £100 - £68/100

    Nice! Ours ends in December so I'm hoping we can get a good deal by shopping around.

    I was really pleased - didn't want to have to move to another insurance company and I didn't even have to put up too much of a fight to get the discount (which, by the way, has rendered it quite a bit cheaper than the suitable alternatives I found, even without factoring in the voucher)!

    Good luck with yours, lots of good cashback offers out there at the mo.
