    Well I went to Warwick castle Saturday as planned got in free ourselves as planned plus the kids free which thought we'd try but expected to fail on so counting £22 from that.:j Just been to Mr Ts using NOWT voucher on a £45 shop, got £8 off in multi-buys but not counting that but used vouchers from MSE and paper reducing shopping from £37.64 to £22.85! :money: so I am adding £37 to my total (before going off to do a couple of surveys).

    Hi all, I have finally managed to find the laptop after weeks of hectic but nice times and I need to make some money fast. We have had our budget for our new kitchen firmly stuck to for the past three months, but it arrives on friday so sunddenly there is lots of mad buying and I have spent £500 in the last 36 hours that I haven't really got on skips, tiles, curtains, blinds, knife sets, splash backs etc etc. So my first thought was the £10 a day challenge. Normally September is when I do a mad money making rush as the kids go back to school and I am bored but now I work all school days I need to try and get a bit more organised and try and fit in money making in the evenings. I have already made my £300 target this month ( I find myself automatically doing it even when i'm not on the challenge as its natural to me after doing it every month for so long) but still on the look out for more ideas. I'm going to start reading though the thread, but if there is anything major ( like the old Bongo) please let me know as I won't be able to read it all.

    Pleased to be back

    PS Well done for everyone who has kept on it whilst I have been bunking off.

    Welcome back Batgirl:j

    Don't forget you can freecycle lots of bits of your old kitchen - you would be surprised (or maybe not) of what people will take off your hands.

    Today I only made 15p on piggypoints but that's 15p I didn't have yesterday.

    Must try harder but its difficult as I have course work and a business to set up.
