JANUARY Make £10 a Day Challenge

savingholmes

Thanks JesaRose and others for the comments. Not got anything lined up yet on the job front but I am still in a job for a few more weeks and have started applying for a new one.

I've checked my savings today and I've been paid £4.41 in interest so adding that to this challenge.

Just managed another £1.40 by ordering some work flowers on expenses via quidco and earning myself the cashback! Is that naughty?

No that's not naughty!
I had to buy a Xmas tree, lights and decs for work from argos. Spent over £50 and got a £5 giftcard, which I then used to buy myself a new toilet seat.
Not naughty, just very MSE!

SH - good luck on the job front - hope all goes well.

Have signed up for the Qype Virgin challenge - did 12 reviews last night and am snuggling down to do more this afternoon while OH is at a non-league football match. I think I've got the better deal, as it's looking very grey out there.

Other than that, I'm about halfway to another Bport voucher, depending on how my posting goes this afternoon. I can manage about 10 in one go, then my eyes start to cross... Then I'll do the free scratchies, and go and cook paella for tonight.

Thanks everyone for the advice about qype reviews. I am halfway there with the challenge. Going to give it a rest now and do some tomorrow, then try to do a few during the week so should finish easily for next weekend. I don't seem to be very lucky at bingo so the qype challenge is more productive for me.

Good news is I have been huting eveywhere for a new winter coat I could afford, mine is ten years old and I feel ashamed wearing it. Well I got one today, £60 reduced to £30. Glad I hung on for something I really liked, it has a loose button but i can soon sort that. Ordered £400 of Sainsburys vouchers for £380 so thats another £20 saved and my shopping and petrol sorted for the month. So £50 today and hopefully £50 voucher earned in the coming week.

All those MSErs tap-tapping away...

In my OH's case, I think he's still recovering from his mystery shopping assignments; I did ask him this week if his expenses would include a new liver! :eek:

Just added another £16 towards my total. Had money put aside for my evening class, turned out to be cheaper this term, so adding the saved money to my total. Have done a bit of overtime this week, so should bump up the figures next week.

Sorry to hear about your job savingholmes, I hope something turns up quickly for you.
