Benbens moneymaking adventure

Now that the mortgage stuff is finally sorted I'm getting back to my normal obsessed self on the mortgage busting front My aim is to get the mortgage down to £42k by the nd of the year, but I want to try and stretch it to £40k. Not sure if it will be possible but I have broken it down so I know how much I need to find from ebay / surveys / matched betting / quidco etc, and now I am off on a new mission to reach this goal A lot of them do seem pretty tricky but I do get 6 weeks off work soon so can focus then on stuff like mystery shops I will also need to be careful not to overspend then too though.

Just found £5 in a survey account I hadn't realised was there, so thats been requested and is on its way Ooh, it feels good to be getting back into the swing of things

Just grabbed a mystery shop for 2 weeks time, another £8 for the fund

Woohoo, just found a fiver in another account but couldn't withdraw it as it was a bonus, so played a couple of games of roulette and withdrew £12 :beer: Was really tempted to keep going as I love roulette, but was good and snuck out while I was winning

What a stroke of luck getting the £341 back, good luck deciding what to spend it on. I love roulette too, so addictive.

Morning Todays going to be quite a busy one, I kept thinking of loads of stuff we have to do today when I was trying to get to sleep last night :rolleyes:

• attack 2nd sofa with a knife
• take the covers / foam etc of the sofas to the tip
• ds homework
• ds spellings
• ds bath/hairwash
• wrap ebay parcels and drop off at mums for her to post tomorrow
• clean guinea pigs
• text ex-mil
• food shopping

Think thats about it, looks like its gonna be quite a dull one today, but at least its sunny

Not a huge amount achieved so far from my list I've done the food shopping and have taken the first lot of stuff to the tip, but thats it

We have been to a garden centre for a train ride (Mum promised ds but forgot she was going away this weekend :rolleyes:), then onto Hobbycraft where I managed to only spend £4 (a big sheet of red paper to make a star chart and 2 bags of mini eggs). Then onto another Tescos where I got ds a whiteboard to practice his spellings on (Total spend today = £4 hobbycraft, £29 petrol, £34 food shopping, £3 tescos)

Finally we're back home and now I must crack on with the rest of the list It has been a lovely day here so far but we have just had a shower of rain so maybe that was it for the good weather today.
