Evening, how are you all doing?

I feel like a bit unmotivated about savings, I'm not sure how I'm going to manage to make another £258 before new year :S I need some ideas... ho hum.

eta: how come as soon as I come online you all go, haha, oh well I'll go cause havoc elsewhere

jenjade

here are money making ideas you are probably doing them already though...

dooyoo
ebay
amazon, play etc
slice the pie
Jobs/ second jobs
interest on savings
survey sites
mystery shops
matchbetting
cashback sites like Quidco

I haven't looked into mystery shops or match betting yet! i have a bit of money coming from top cashback, cashbackkings etc before xmas hardly anthing due from quidco now!
I am hoping to get £100 for switching account and i have £14 in paypal so need to list a few more things like the shower!
I want to buy some stuff but i don;t want to spend any real money!!

hopeful the shed is being put up today!! yeah

jenjade

Morning pizza last night was yummy and i have some left over today woohoo.

I need to nip into town to get a few bits but can't be bothered plus don't have a lot of cash really, OH's car is playing up so doubt he will give me a lift.

Its payday for me Tuesday though luckily so only a few more days to scrimp through, would have been a bit richer this weekend (OH gets paid weekly so i pay all bills and he gives me money back each week ) but put £22 into ISA as wanted it to be a nice round £600

Thanks for the ideas Jen. Actually Slicethepie isn't such a bad idea... I think I have about £1 in there so I'm going to try to get up to £5 before the end of the month. I think what's slowing me down is that my money is still trapped in Icesave so I've lost two months interest so far (about £90)... and I haven't had my second email yet though loads of people got their money weeks ago!

Hope your shower does well. Is it a new one or old one that has been taken out?

We had pizza last night too LMM... veggie pizza, £1 for a 10-inch from Asda. Wish I hadn't given my brother what was left as I could have eaten it cold today.

Afternoon all, had a high spend today. dd1's hair cut, new shoes for dd2, new matching games for dd2 as nursery commented how well she was doing so we're encouraging it more ay home.
Supposed to be going to a charity tumble tots this afternoon but dd2 is asleep so unsure on that at mo.

Hope everyone is having a good day

Evening if anyone about.

I nipped into town, spent £11 on brekkie for me and OH (english breakfast mmm )then £11 in Iceland but used £10 voucher towards that.

Sitting here tying to think of a few dooyoo reviews to do, OH wants Heroes Season 1 and 2 for Christmas and they are £50 on Amazon, better get writing!

Hope the Qype voucher arrives soon but i know we could still have a couple of weeks wait.

jenjade

yeah i am waiting for the qype voucher to buy a lcd monitor!! i also need to do more dooyoo to top up the lcd monitor and some x mas stuff for dd!!

The shed was a nightmare to put up took 4 of use all afternoon over 5 hours and it still hasn't got a roof or floor and there is a pannel missing
