    £5 a day challenege didn't end brilliantly but have got a few things due now so hopefully June will be better. Have got £5 amazon coming and have also cashed for ten pounds on scratchcards. I also am waiting to be able to redeem on valued opinions as will have enough when that has gone through.

    If I am not doing well half way through the month, may try a bit of ebay but never seem to do well on there

    Haven't got anything yet on £5 a day challenge but should do soon. Dooyoo is still going good , got almost 20,000 points. If i do a review a day , could make 50,000 by end of month which would be fab. Would be good for next months challenge.

    I am going to my old unis summer ball saturday as my best mate is still there and has just finished. Is fancy dress but have managed to do my costume fairly cheap. Am wearing a white dress that is my sisters. Have given her a fiver towards it as she was thinking of taking it back. Also ordered halo and wings for about a tenner from a website with free postage. Hope they are ok and get here in time. Much cheaper overall than the costumes that i saw on websites , all about 40 quid or more for a decent one.

    I got my scratchies money through and also a five pound voucher from amazon. Am saving up for a wii fit this time with my amazon vouchers. So going OK so far this month!

    Dooyoo is going OK, up to 21000 points now.

    Just realised as well now that I am now a serious money making fan. Must have wrote a few posts now

    Hi!

    Dooyoo is a review site. You can write reviews about lots of different products and you get points for writing them and also for people rating you. These points can then get redeemed for a cheque or amazon vouchers. It gets quite addictive once you get into it.

    Talking of dooyoo, on 22,000 points now. Wrote a review at lunch and have another ready to post tonight.

    Things are still going ok, feeling positive about this month. Just did a survey that brought me nearly up to payout on a survey site and have redeemed for a voucher from another today

    A good start to today as got a fiver on the scratch cards. I did play a couple of cards for 50p each but still got a fiver in account so at least next payout will be much quicker!

    Had a good weekend at the ball. The wings and halo i bought never arrived so had to get some more. They were cheaper though and will send the others back when they arrive. I ddon't spend too much, only the amount i budgeted too which is good news.

    Hoping to have a low spending week as just got food shop to do. Going to southampton next weekend but got enough petrol already for that.

    I am finally over the half way mark on dooyoo yay! getting there slowly but surely. Not sure I will make it to payout by end of the month but hopefully will in July.

    Other good money making news is just got the idea from reading a review to get some money for my old phone. They are offering me 30 quid so will be wiating to get all the stuff for that. Might not get full 30 as has a button missing but we will see!

    In terms of spending money, did food shop yesterday, which wasn't too bad and we bought quite a lot too. Have been buying a few bits and bobs food wise i dont really need so need to try and cut back on this!

    My wings and halo arrived today so will be sending them back this week. Is freepost thankfully!

    That is about all for now

    Well have done a little bit of naughty spending the last couple of days. Last night went to pub and bought a round, which cost about 15 quid. To eb fair though everyone else bought me drinks and I prob had more than that worth. I also bought a dress this morning from miss selfridge online. Is a nice flowery one in sale for 20 quid, am hopefully gooing to wear it to a wedding reception im going to.

    On the plus side I just managed to redeem 5 pounds on lightspeed, won't be counting it in challenge till in bank account. I also got my ten pounds arcadia voucher in post, so can buy myself something with that. I also got the stuff through to do the mobile phone so will sort that all out and send next week.

    Hope everyones having a good day
