    Need to update my sig - managed quite well last week, acquired £20 in loose change from my chap plus I pinched some of his £2 coins (I now have £72 of them:j ). Saved £1 on some shopping as I used some vouchers, also saved £15 on a new raincoat as I bought it for £20 instead of £35.

    I was away and my chap paid for 2 lots of petrol for my car as well as all meals out and camping expenses:j

    sorry to post twice but Horace, it sounds like you have a great chap! He's obv not a student like mine is!

    Hi all! I'm only getting back into the swing of all this debt-repayment lark properly now following the house move/baby, so I haven't signed up for this yet. But here I am now!

    Not sure how I'm going to do it this month - I've exhausted all the freebies on Quidco etc, not got the time to do matched betting, and as far as I'm aware there's nothing great with free bingo at the moment. Got loads to list on ebay but again it's the time factor. I seem to be getting loads of surveys at the moment which I do at work, but I'll have to kick myself up the rear.

    Listed one large item on Ebay tonight and done about 5 surveys today so off to a reasonable start.

    Great to see all the old faces again!
  • not done so well today doing a few bits on slice the pie at the moment but it's taking ages as I'm only on 1 star!!!! I won't cout it though until it is on its way to paypal

  • nothing to add today, but I did manage to do one friend a favour by getting another one to do a job for them at mates rates, so one friend gets some cash, and the other gets a discount.

    And we're 1/3 of the way through august and I still haven't taken a taxi, which frankly impresses the hell out of me :)

    My lodger is moving out at the end of August and has just offered me £40 for four chairs that have been in my outhouse for 6 months gathering dust. Let me think - should I let him have them for £40?

    Where do I sign?
