    How depressing. I know it's only my first month doing this but I have the running total so far of £3.70! However I am only adding money I have made and money from voucers, rather than adding money I have saved by not buying things, eg, lunch at work, which I did really well at last week, only spending about 62p on lunch last week, which is a big different to what I normally spend. I have listed some books on Amazon but had no buyers yet.

    I received a £10 John Lewis/Waitrose voucher this morning from Pigsback, so my total is now at £173.70. :D

    debt free me, don't worry! It all counts and if you are saving money by not spending it, you'll be quids in.

    Thanks Lizzieanne. How have you made over £170 already? I just don't understand how people do it?!!!
  • Morning everyone

    No internet at home so just catching up, saved a fortune at the weekend. Went to the Mighty Boosh festival armed with picnic and bottled water from the co-op (bought with my divvy) so didn't get mugged for overpriced food and warm beer!

    Tackling the loft tonight for boot fair stuff, already have loads in my car because my parents are moving soon, so I intercepted stuff on the way to the charity shop! Even borrowed my Dads paste table.

    Had some ebay sales last night, made £11.98 but will add it to my total once I deduct postage and fee's from the total amount.

    Listed some more items, and some already have bids and watchers so hopefully should sell well.

    My Amazon payment is on its way – excellent!

    Also I used some Boots Advantage points to buy some talc on Saturday, so that’s an extra £1.20 to add to my total.

    Must get some more books listed on Amazon – I have still got 5 or 6 boxes of them to sort through!
