    £25 from quidco just tracked!!!! Just signed up to a £6 magazine subscription and got £5.80 - so will add that when it tracks as it is something I wanted anyway. Also DD got money to buy DVD - so bought on play.com for approx £6 using quidco so will also get 4% back. The DVD is normally between £11-14 so really chugged. Will add cash back on that once tracked.

  • Just worked sorting out guestlists for a mates live music night so another £30 cash to add to my total. Very happy if not sleepy...
  • So sorry to hear about the house, Catwoman. I know how stressful it can be when a sale falls through, having been through it twice this year :-(

    I have resigned myself to staying put for a couple more years, but am going to cheer myself up by replacing my car. Going to have a look at a couple after work tonight. My current car is not very economical, and the car tax is going up a lot next year, so am going to get myself something small and cheaper to run, as I very rarely have anyone in there but me. Thankfully all the big stuff I had to sell at boot fairs has already been sold, so I only need enough space for half a dozen boxes, and the paste table (which has never even seen any wallpaper!)

    Welcome back batgirl - great to see you! :)

    Had a lovely surprise when I looked at my online banking this morning - have been paid for some extra work I did for a publisher - was expecting $125 but got £125!! Nearly twice as much! So I have hit my £15 a day target and am now going to have a go for £20....

    15.25 from surveys.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
