Hi Folks,

Hi Folks,
Hope everybody is ok and doing well.
Contrary to popular belief I am still alive and saving. I have been really busy and praying that my central heating system is not going to die on me. I have a back 12th century boiler and when I came to put it on as winter was setting in it only heated the upstairs radiators. The downstairs ones don't do anything :eek:
I have bleed them and made sure all the correct values are open. I think my pump is dead or I have lots of sedimentation and might have to have them drained and cleaned. I have a nice chap from british gas coming out at the begining of december so fingers crossed. Anyway I will update my challenges and savings later on tonight. Bye for now

Hi Folks
Hope everything is going well.
Right here goes:-
1) My November food challenge is still going well. I spent £10.99 last week and £12.88 this week. This takes my total for the month to £72.29. This leaves me with £17.71 out of my £90 budget for the month.
2) I had a NSD last sunday taking my total for the month to 3 out of 10.
3)My matched betting is still going well. My total profit now is £608.82
4) I have not managed to get anymore £2 coins. However, I have managed to get 6x20p, taking my total to £8. I have also managed to get another £0.63 in 1p,2p and 5p, taking my total to £11.92.
The food plans this month is still going strong and I am really enjoying cooking again. I tried a new soup recipe this month. It was parsnip and bramley apple.
Anyway I better go take care

Hi Everybody,
Hope people are doing ok, especially with christmas fast arriving.
I have been busy so have not had time to post. Anyway here goes.
November Grocery Challenge
I have now completed my Nov Grocery Challenge. I spent £80.21 on food, leaving £9.79 left out of my £90 budget :beer:
In total I spent £102.50 (including cleaning stuff and toiletries, which has a separate budget of £25). Therefore based on my old budget of £135 for everything, I have saved £32.50 this month, which I have put on to my shopping savings on my signature.
I have completed a monthly food plan again for december, and I am setting myself a target of £90 on food for the month and the usual £25 on cleaning and toiletries. I have spent £39.22 on food this week, so hopefully I can keep things going.
NSD
I have managed NSD on friday, Monday, Wednesday and today. Taking my total to 9/10 for the month. Only need one more :j
Spare Change
I have saved a further £6 in £2 coins, bringing my total to £24
I have saved a further £1.20 in 20p coins, bringing my total to £10.40
I have saved a further 23p in 1p,2p and 5p bringing my total to £12.43
Matched Betting
I have made a profit of £750 now on my matched betting.
Cashback
I have a total of £164.90 pending on cashback (not including daily clicks, which is sep) and I have cashed in £90 cashback (not including daily clicks)
Right I think that is about it for now. I have not managed to put much extra off my visa bills this month, as I need most of the spare money for christmas presents. However, this time last year I was putting presents and extra stuff on my visa and getting into more debt, so hopefully this christmas I will not get further into debt. Then after christmas I can use my spare money to pay off debts quicker.
Bye for now
