Benbens moneymaking adventure

I think the voucher is valid for a week - I'm not 100% sure but I seem to remember that from when they were out in June. I was going to ask my sis to post me hers as they don't use Tesco but we're away next weekend so after using my voucher tomorrow I won't need any more food!!

I only need to spend about 20.00 this week as we're off to Butlins on friday, but I will stock up on washing powder / ds socks for school etc, just to take it up to 30 to qualify if that makes sense

I'm a complete saddo benben - I was thinking of getting some stuff for christmas to make it up to £30!

Just back from Tesco - they've got a new style Cath Kidston bag in now for 3.50 in case anyones struggling to get to 30.00 ... I bought 3 for ebay

Ooooh have they? I'll have a look tomorrow - mind you our Tesco a bit behind the times, we might get the bag in a few weeks!! I sold a couple of the blue spotty ones on ebay, kept one for myself too! I can't be bothered to go today, it'll be packed probably and if I leave it too late they won't have anything on the shelves! So think I'll do it in the morning, sureley monday mornings are quite quiet?! (she says hopefully:rolleyes: )

Online banking

I've also listed the new bags on ebay too, but still need to wrap the sold items from yesterday. I've unpacked the shopping, had a crusty roll with cheese and am now gonna stick the kettle on and sort out the online banking

Right banking is sorted; basically I keep a spreadsheet of all my bits that I put into the mortgage pot, how much it is, where it came from etc. Anyway, that was showing as 40.00 higher than the mortgage pot has in it ... some investigating later and I realised I had included some ebay money twice; for some reason I included it when I requested it from paypal and when I transferred it into the pot :rolleyes: Normally I only include it when it goes into the pot, not sure what happened there Anyway,all adjusted now and it didn't affect my mortgage free date

pixiechick99

Oh you are good and soooo organised! I'm afraid I don't know how to use a spreadsheet - I tried but got thouroughly confused! I still don't know exactly how much my outgoings are each month and which direct debits come out when etc, but I'm getting there! I have all my notebooks with lists, ebay stuff sold etc, but that doesn't really help me keep organised, just helps me update my signature on here;)

Arghhh now its pouring and I have the girls bedding on the line:mad:
