Happy new year!

Thanks for the replies! I will definately try a spending diary, will probably help me realise what rubbish I am spening my money on.

I did joing a cashback site but haven't really used it yet. Will have to have a look and see what I can do. Thanks for advice.

Anyway it being a new year and everything I have written a list of things that need to be done today

Good luck with your losing weight and giving up alcohol for January!;)

Which scratchcards do you do?

I use the Greasypalm cashback site as well as quidco, and have amassed a couple of hundred since september, just from switching utilies, car, house insurance etc.:j

Thank you.

I use interbingo.com , is one of the st minivers ones i think! Is actually ok, I managed to get ten pounds in about two weeks. Not sure if will always do that well.

Will have a look at greasy palms I am currently signed up to quidco but never got much further.

Have just joined up to greasypalms and have done the sunbingo offer, which should get 20 pounds back so thanks for that.

wendz86

Well today so far has been quite constructive. Apart from the sun bingo i also joined mecca, and you had to deposit and play through 10 pounds which I did , i played on the slot machines and won another 19 on top of what i played so get that back, making 9 pounds profit and then 15 cashback from greasypalms.

I have done most things on my list, going to do one more dooyoo review today.

Morning!

I am feeling very rough today, have had a cold building up and seems to be at its worst so far today. So glad i have no work till Monday!

I have had 2 nsd's this week so today is the first day that i have spent money. Not too bad either, bought a chicken reduced down from 6.75 to 2.75, which we can have for dinner tonight and also can eat leftovers tomorrow, also got some potatoes and some tissues. Was tempted my the magazines but didn't give in.

I did the scratchcard, only 10p but got an extra pound for logging in, would be great to earn another tenner this month for that. I have also put a book on amazon that I have just finished reading. Not sure if any of the things i have put on will sell but it is worth a try. If not will save them for next time i do a carboot.

Anyway hope everyones feeling better than me today

I am feeling much better today, a bit more human, lets hope i am even better tomorrow for work.

As for the money saving, i got my 19 pounds back from one of the bingo companies so thats 9 pounds profit, so am on my way on the make 5 pounds a day challenge. I haven't done much dooyoo or anything as have been feeling poorly but will try and do something today.

Went food shopping for the week and came to just over 30 pounds, between 3 people isn't bad at all. We have written a meal plan so we know what dinner we will make each day so we don't need to buy anything else.

As for my other challenges, I haven't drank at all so that one is going well and also have lost a couple of lbs already! I realised my scales were wrong as well so wasn't as bad as i thought!

Just wanted to say, glad your feeling better, and well done on the drink challenge!

I am cutting down on food and drink to rid the xmas, new year excesses!:o

I think your thread title sums up what I am trying to achieve this year. I love the feeling I get from being able to pay for treats from my 'free' money!

For me its, cash back, scratchcards, daily clicks and match betting. I did do quite a few surveys but kept finding I wasn't suitable after doing the initial questionnaire for each one- a tad annoying!

Anyway, well done and keep posting!

Thanks for the reply! Good luck for your cutting back as well.

Am doing ok with everything this week, still haven't drank and have been cutting down loads of my eating as well so feeling positive about all that.

I got 50p on my scatchcard this morning, much better than I have been doing. I have also been doing a few surveys and things.

I have also become addicted to bingoport, and am up to two vouchers on there, which is good.

Hope everyone else is having a good start to year.
