I don't normally count all my multi-buy savings but thought I would this time £10.80 on what would otherwise have been a £61 shop. That isn't even counting all the things I got for 50p that are normally £1.39+ at Mr AsAchieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
1) MFW Nov 21 £202K now £172.5K Equity 36.11%
2) £1.8K Net savings after CCs 13/9/25
3) Mortgage neutral by 06/30 (AVC £26.8K + Lump Sums DB £4.6K + (25% of SIPP 1.2K) = 32.6/£127.5K target 25.6% 13/9/25
(If took bigger lump sum = 54.5K or 42.7%)
4) FI Age 60 income target £17.1/30K 57% (if mortgage and debts repaid - need more otherwise)
(If bigger lump sum £15.8/30K 52.67%)

Not sure if this really counts, but I have been working for a market research company for 2 weeks....12 hours shifts, plus the weekend for 14 days on the trott without a day off...could do this as I was looking for work and was still waiting to be paid....
Ah, doesnt matter - the amount I earnt counts for me! Just paid £691 towards my credit card bill!!!
Feels good, although I have a long way to go! I am defo up for weekend job, if that means I am out of debt quicker - it also means you wont go out an spend, cause you are working.
:-)
Have been good with Toluna and Scratchcards too, so will give an update shortly.Challenges:

£9 in tips and a few bits and pieces saved in the Co-op.
Have to find another £40 by Saturday. Will have Avon commission to add tomorrow and tips from tomorrow night. Am doing an extra shift on Saturday night, which won't be paid until February, but at least it's another lot of tips. Am determined to do it!Married 19th May 2011 to the love of my lifeCross Stitch Cafe Member Number 44CSC Challenge - to complete LEGS by end of December

CBK payout £4.71 so very happy this month :
Quidco still to come but probably Feb in bank now.0 -
Had a good day today - did 7.5 hours overtime at work, so an extra £42.97 is on its way to me. Oh, and 20p Onepoll. Which I am pleased to say means I have made my target for this month!
So chuffed - it’s my first month doing this challenge and I started off doing £5 a day, so am really surprised that I’ve been able to make £10 a day. Going to put all the extra pennies towards my car tax and breakdown cover next month - both of which I can pay for entirely with extra money made from this challenge! So thankyou MSE'ers for all the help and support you have given me, and all the fab ideas!
Was quite sadly excited when I got home and checked my emails as I had 4 Valued Opinions/Yougov surveys…got booted out of all 3 VO ones, and the Yougov is a prize draw one, no payment! Lol. Not my day with the survey sites, obviously! Never mind. Should have a good start for Feb as am waiting for £30 MS payments, another £6 or so from Ebay and I should be able to cash out from the scratch cards too. Looking forward to it!
