    hi ally, if you haven't already sign up for quidco, pigsback, survey sites for free cash and vouchers. Also eBay and car boots if you have anything left to sell( I've run out LOL)
    Good luck with your savings!!!

    Morning :hello:

    Its Thursday and I could barely get out of bed this morning. I was a bit late and even the cats let themselves into my bedroom and bounced on the me to get me up! :rotfl:

    Hiya Ally - im saving all of my 1ps, 2ps, 5ps, 10ps, 20ps, 50ps and £2 coins. :o Its a bit of a pain, but I have now become obsessed with counting it up nearly every week and banking it! I use it to pay off my debt. :D

    xx
    Debt: just my mortgage :D

    I am in a bit of a grump so off to read my book in Bed whilst OH cooks me dinner.

    I have managed to claim a £10 Amazon voucher from Valued Opinions today so thats now in my account, won't spend it as refuse to pay postage lol. I have £11.54 in there now towards xmas pressies.
