Another update from me. I bought the Times yesterday purely to get an offer on a book at WH Smith. I got £5 off the book, but the Times cost me 70p so I'll include the £4.30 as a saving.
I also got 2 books for £7 in Sainsbury's, saving me £2.98 so I'm including that as well. (Can you tell I'm stocking up on my holiday reading?)
Just off to update my sig.Sealed Pot Challenge #8 £341.90
Sealed Pot Challenge #9 £162.98
Sealed Pot Challenge #10 £33.10

Just updated sig as had some more money paid today for ms-ing. Don't think I am going to make £15 a day target this month - but will keep pushing. I will only do £5 a day next month as I am going on holiday and therefore will not have much time for penny counting :rotfl:
P.S Big congrats noggin on the new job :j:D0 -

Thanks Cookin

I've done pants this month, so instead of dwelling on it I'm just planning stuff for next month.
Everything I make in the August challenge I am using towards spending money for my weekend away with DH in Paris

grrrr, itsyourview.com annoyed me today. i got an email for a £3 survey which i started doing as soon as i got the email. i spent 5 minutes answering questions on directory enquiries services and i get to a question "have you used a phone directory service in the last 4 weeks" to which i replied no. i was then told i was ineligable to carry on with the survey and will not get any payment!!!!
thats 5 minutes wasted. if they asked that question at the beginning during the other screening questions it would have been fine!
