    That is a bit strange , I haven't been able to redeem since the new rules came in so i haven't tried it. You used to just click redeem then select 5 pounds amazon.

    I got my cheque from survey site yesterday for 35 quid so helped my target for month along a bit.

    It is payday for me today so went on a little lunchtime spending spree and bought myself a few items of clothing, used 25 pounds of vouchers i had too though so not so bad!

    Got to try and save a bit of money this month as got a few weekends with friends planned.

    Got a 5 pound amazon voucher today but dont think will make my 140 for the month unless i get my 50 quid cheque today

    Didn't make it to the 140 quid in Feb but got a few thing sin pipeline so should make Marchs challenge.

    Have just paid my dad another payment so next month i will owe him below 2000 which is great!

    All my friends came up yesterday and we had a day out around London but I was quite good and didnt spend much. And we had 50% off pizza hut delivery as well

    Had a really good free night out with work yesterday at britaisn next top model final catwalk show, free drinks and a goody bag, always a plus!

    Apart from that the spending has been quite good. I have worked out if I don't waste my money and just spend on my weekends with friends I have planned i should be fine. Hoping to save some more money this month towards the holiday as will be booking it begining on April if we are definitely going.

    I ordered my wii yesterday used 150 pounds of amazon vouchers and got a free game as well, so only had to pay 25 quid which am splitting with OH. Should arrive today so very exciting.

    Got 42.50 cashback in my account today which is a good start to the month. When i get my dooyoo cheque i worked out will have 205 so far this year towards overdraft. If i could get another 45 this month would be able to have 250 pounds which is what i needed to of paid off by july.

    I got my dooyoo cheque yesterday as well and also have reached ten pound son tab so very nearly at my 250 first payment now.

    I managed to get a new phone and new contract today, is ten pounds cheaper at 15 pounds, was paying 25. I also get new pink nokia 6500, 400 mins, 2000 texts and free o2 to o2 calls, before i got 200 mins, 1250 texts so i think is a good deal and gives me an extra tenner a month.

    Have just been having a look at my finances for the month and don't think i will be able to save 100 like i did last month towards my holiday as at the moment i only have 100 left after factoring in everything i think i will need money for but you never know when things might come up. Would be good even to just put 50 towards it so will just try and keep spending to a minimum and see what happens!

    Haven't made any more money but did a survey about a product i tested and got 400 points on lightspeed so near a 5 pound payout on there.

    Me and OH are off out for dinner tonight. Going to use the 50% off voucher for La Tasca. Fancied a bit of a change as we always have Italian so Tapas seems like a good option.

    Not a lot of money making news except i got a pound on the scratchcards this morning.

    Been quite good with my spending but am getting tempted to buy something new to wear out next weekend. Will go through wardrobe and try and find something i have

    That went a bit out the window as i bought a new dress. On The plus side i took it out of holiday money and not money i don't have so can replace that.

    Money making not going so good as my computer at home is broken so havent had much chance for Bp, surveys, dooyoo etc
