    Right my lord... I have a CUNNING plan! And it doesn't even involve turnips! I have 2 current accounts and 2 savings accounts... My first direct ones are my main ones and the ones my salary get paid into... the A&L ones are my old account etc that I don't really know WHY I'm keeping going other than i can't draw out cash at the post office round the corner on my FD card and i pay my dog walker in cash... However - the important account in this tale is the second savings account, the A&L one. Currently sat with £1 in it (minimum you can have there I think) and I have just decided that I ought to use it for something... so why not use it for baby savings! Or more precisely all the money I manage to raise from ebaying and dooyoo'ing etc! Aha! Cunning! I like to have saved £400 through ebay and dooyoo by May and I'll add my quidco to that too as it's kinda free money - and this way I can keep a measure on it as i can't track it in my signature (too many links etc take up my space allocation already... bah humbug) - but if it's in a seperate account I can easily track it!

    that is a great iidea i put my extra into a savings account and my signature it is great to see it grow and i don't just spend it because it is there!!!

    Posted a review on dooyoo. I am going to see if i can make another £50 on dooyoo by the end of Jan

    I think i have enough money making plans but not enough time to do them all!! Comping, matchbetting, free scratchcards and dooyoo are the idea now how do i find the time?
