Hi everyone :hello:

Rusty - I so love your son's hat, it's fab :T

Phunkles - many, many congratulations to you and Mr Phunkles to be

Jammy - you haven't missed any money from me but I have recieved a cheque today for £82 for recycling 2 mobile phones :j :j :j Only posted the phones off on Monday. Will msg you about adding this to my running total of £0 :rolleyes: I will keep going with the challenge as have stuff on ebay etc.

Jammy - thanks for the update. I'm due £72 off quidco in the next few days, does that count?

Phunkles - Congratulations hun :j :j Ooooh very exciting, I love weddings!!

Rusty - love the easter bonnet, it's brilliant!

Paddingtondoo - your little budgies look like chicken fillets :rotfl: Aww bless them! I bet they'll look really cute when they grow some feathers

It's nice and sunny here again, don't think it's as warm as yesterday though (going off the weather thingy on my iphone, haven't actually been out yet)

My new bed is coming tomorrow and i'm supposed to clearing out the drawers in this old bed so my OH can take it downstairs tomorrow morning but i'm being very lazy again today. I'm reading Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban and I just can't put it down! :rotfl: I'll do it before he comes home though

Thankyou for all the lovely comments, I will make DS read them all later on

Well OH is on the mend ... he actually wanted to leave the house today, we wandered down to the beach, walked on the sand (I took off my shoes! it must be summer) then had a nice ice cream and wandered back, DD is absolutely knackered as she did a fair amount of walking but we have had a lovely afternoon

I might make 3 levels to the challenge as everyone is doing so well - you can earn yourself a Thrifty Gifty title

Level 1 - Thrifty Gifty Baby Budgie #1- £75
Level 2 - Thrifty Gifty Elf Rider #1- £200
Level 3 - Thrifty Gifty Superstar #1 -£500

hayley - [STRIKE]yes it counts [/STRIKE] No it doesn't actually! It only counts if the cashback is tracked from the 27th March onwards

I need to get all my other stuff listed really, might go and do that now

I'm going to have to have a total up, from 27th march - is it actual money recieved or does virtual money count, ie survey but u have to wait till u get x for a payout.

Cheers xx

I don't think third should be thrifty baby budgie - that makes me think we're all bald and ugly :rotfl:.

maybe it should be baby budgie with feathers .

We now have a third one but OH went to see them so don't have any more pics - will sneak one over the weekend when the biggest one might have some fluff on.

jamtart6

virtual money is fine anything 'gathered' over the 5 week period I need to make about £3 more to get my first £15 by tomorrow to stay on target

congratulations phunkles!

love the easter hat rusty but it makes me feel guilty cos i am so unimaginative when it comes to arty crafty things for school - bad mummy aren't I! your's should definately win a prize! glad you had a good day on the beach the weather has been fab up here today hasn't it?

OH found out he won the 'bonus ball' at work again today (3 weeks rollover, £90). It probably shouldn't count towards the challenge though as it is money won not money earnt.
