    Hi all :iloveyou: told someone about this challenge and they thought I was *coo-koo* CRaZy lol. Least its not just me doing it :T

    We get small tax cuts from 1st of October here, and I found out I am getting about $30 exra per pay, which I won't count here, so I am HAPPY today :o

    Not much more luck for me, think tomorrow is the day I will fall behind the $10 a day for the first time unless some online auctions come through for me.

    Got a survey yesterday worth $3 and man, you should have seen me, grinning from ear to ear :eek:

    ETA: Just had a book sell with buy now for $10, so am still on target for tomorrow!! Woohoo hehehe

    I was checking online banking this morning and I actually had £2 more than I had in my totals, so I've added it...
    Does anyone know if there is still free bingo going on today. I haven't played for ages...

    Hi all, Gala has free bingo this afternoon, I'll have it running in the background in the hope of another small win :D I've won £200 from that this year so far. Better still, I have just logged another £50 for this challenge from a small premium bonds win. I've added it already as I have no fears of it not paying out, I've already read the confirmation on the NS&I site Happy.gif It means I have completed my other mini-challenge to make £260 tax free (the interest I would have made on my 4k had I not had to spend it on living). :D

    I haven't ventured into free scratch cards yet, although I do the jackpotjoy one most days for entries into their draws. I need to stash as much cash as possible, as soon as possible, so I can afford to move out this freezing tower of a house into something less costly before it drains us completely. Maybe my luck has changed and I should make the most of it by doing some comps? :o
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.
