I had a £10 M&S voucher recently and, to my surprise, got some pizzas on special offer that were really good value. And I also bought myself a sandwich and a brownie one day for lunch - a great treat to have a shop-bought lunch, and necessary as my homemade lentil soup had spilled into my bag!

hi hypno that is one hell of a target to set yourself. I take it that you are including ALL you money raising ways towards it?

good luck with it

M&S Chocolate brownies - you just *know* they are going to taste yum, don't you!!! I will be waiting to mug the postman now for my voucher!!

Chev, yes that is all the debt paying methods - ordinary monthly payments plus all extras - whatever we can chuck at it! Obviously I can't physically pay £86 or whatever every single day, but hopefully it will average out nicely!!

Time will tell....but right now my bed is calling! Night night all - sweet dreams!

I have just read the diary.

it sounds naff but you are really inspiring.

Good night

Thanks buffy! Remember though that I am surrounded by lots of inspiring posters on here, so it is quite easy for me to drain them of all their ideas/energy and pass them off as my own

Today the children have free tickets from seefilmfirst to go to the cinema this evening - they have been a little housebound while I have been at work these holidays so this will hopefully be a nice treat for them.

I have no moneymaking plans today - OH has another shift in his second job later on, so that helps, but there is no money coming in to me or debts able to be paid for a few days, so no way of changing my signature yet! I have ordered a second M&S voucher from pigsback today though, so that will have to do for now!

Have a good day today!

chevalier

right the challenge makes a bit more sense now. I was wondering how you were going to make even more money from the various sources you have!!!! Have a good day

Found out this yesterday.
If you have a very large item to sell on e-bay, Parcel2Go works out quite cheap. (Under 25 kg less than 1m in length) at only £6.25 (?). But if it's the first time for you, then go through Quidco for £5 back.

Voila, £1.25 and you can usually charge £10 for courier service It takes 2-4 days, they say they are trying to reduce their Carbon Footprint by doubling up journeys wherever possible.
