    Ive just added £10 to my pin money savings.I unlocked my sons phone so i could put my sim in it as he got a new one for xmas.It was so easy to do,cant remember the site i used but it was on rpoints,i didnt even know you could do it by just punching numbers in the phone i thaught you had to connect it with leads and cables to the pc.As ive had my phone for 3-4 years im quite pleased with my new cast off.dont know how much pin money i have so far as i got one of those pigs you have to break to open it.That will keep me from dipping into my pot.

    Right..... £20.77 from 2nd income this week, so aPMS is £43.27. I do have have a small amount due on Friday, so am likely to come in OVER target. :j

    Nearly six quid for me - which on a spend for the month of nothing much is pretty good :)

    Had loads of extra Dividend points this month. My colleague always takes my card when she nips out at work, so hopefully will rack up a good total
    Comping, Clicking & Saving for Change
  • For my first bash I saved £59.83 in January. Really chuffed as my target for January was only £20. Going for £30 February.

    I ended up with £125.12 - mostly from selling "declutter" stuff on eBay!
    Savings were £8.49 of that. Won't be able to do so much on eBay every month but it has paid for a slow cooker, a bread maker, renovating a favourite chair - with a few pounds left over! So now can save money elsewhere too. Thanks for this great idea! :j

    And I came in more than £50 under my Grocery challenge so am setting that lower this month (just thought - does that count as PMS?).

    This month I am aiming for £50 including eBay sales. We have just bought a house and are doing major modernisation before we can move in so all PMS is heading for that from now on!

    Well I've just taken advantage of the co-op offer on suet and their twofer thing and then I spotted a chicken reduced from 3.49 to 2.49 - so my pin money total is now just over eight quid :)
