    Have put a little bit more into EF and I now have the princely sum of £40. Woo hoo.....

    Any cashback this month is going to go in this pot so hoping it will add some nice amount and who knows might get over £50 by end of August??? Well we can but live in hope.

    Dowmloaded the 'CheckoutSmart' app this week and it looks like a goer. Tomorrow, i will be popping into Sainsburys and picking-up 1 pint of milk, 1 1.75L bottle of Coke lite and 1 loaf of kingsmill farmhouse sliced loaf. By scanning in the receipt for my purchase, I will get a full refund.

    When I picked my son up Friday, he handed me a 3p off a litre voucher from the EADT. I will use this Friday when I fill my car up and save £1.20.

    First ever sale on eBay has been packaged and posted which means £10 to the emergency fund (have made sure I connected my paypal to my EF account so any sales will go straight in) :D

    My emergency fund is down slightly this month to £331.45, however i plan on having my debt paid off after next payday so i can then throw everything at my emergency fund to get back up to the £1000 total :)

    Good work so far everyone
