    Hi Emily

    As usual you're doing really well. I wish I was half as motivated as you to sort my money out. At the moment I'm doing loads of overtime at work but we've got a holiday booked in 2 weeks so everything's on hold til after that. Good on you for the plan to do dressmaking too. I did an O'level at school and came out with a E. We worked to a pattern not knowing what we were making - it turned out to be a child's pair of dungarees (well most people's did). Mine turned out to be that never ending strip of material magicians pull out of their jacket or hat!!!!!

    Just got a question - what's Bingosport?

    Hi Pilchard

    Hope you enjoy your holiday :D .

    Bingoport is a free bingo and slots site where you can get points to exchange for free cash on bingo sites and Amazon vouchers. If you wanted to join then I can refer you if you PM me :o . It can get a bit addictive but you can run the bingo on auto in the background of whatever you are doing ;) .

    Well all of my Ebay items have finally finished and the grand total is...........£88.16.

    I'm still waiting for 5 items to be paid. With postage, I should be able to withdraw just over £100 plus a couple of the buyers live locally so want to collect which is just under £6 so that will go straight into my change pot and I will withdraw the £100 (if it all gets paid and also if they all pay with Paypal!) and use that towards my £250. The postage I am just going to pay for myself so that I can get to my £100 target like I wanted.

    So my new figures are:

    Ebay - £100
    Hutch money - £20
    Mystery shopping - £66
    Change jar - £12

    Total - £198.

    I anticipate being able to save £30 in my change jar so this brings it up to £216. I am going to try my hardest to raise the other £34 but don't have anything else that I can sell on Ebay. If I can't raise it then it isn't that much to add myself but I will try my best to think of a way.
