Happy Easter Bank Holiday Monday
I've just managed to claim my first £10 from cashinco, so I've made a start to the new challenge.I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

Count me in.
I have "Found" ( around the house) / saved £80.04 - which I have been squirriling away in the "Payment a day" jar and have just transferred £9.77 into a bank account - rounding the account down to the nearest £10. Hope that these both count as they get me off to a fantastic start of £89.81.44 day challenge
1. Pay £650 off overdraft (£ 288/ £650)
2. Lose 12 lbs (4.5/ 12)
3. Use YNAB everyday (6/44)0 -
I girded my loins and decided to make the ULTIMATE sacrifice (well for me anyway) and phoned sky to cancel my sports package. Imagine my delight when I was offerred a 20% discount for 6 months to keep the package. Yes I know - I can hear you all screaming at me - but the package will still cost as of 13th October - but I get 6months of free viewing and can still cancel it then - I haven't agreed to carrying it on.
Yippee - I have saved £9.10 per month (which is more than I would have saved by getting rid of the package) - I will add to my running total as it comes due for payment - but I am chuffed.

I decided to gather up all the small change around the house, and from OH's car. It came to a grand total of £19 and I found a scratch card with £1 on it. So a round £20 :T. Added to the £15 I had in my saving account it means I have £35 - not bad for no effort.

£6 in tips from last night plus whatever I actually earned (will have to add on fri when I get paid and see how much the tax man has robbed) since it was extra hours. I so cannot wait to actually sleep tonight!!
Well done everybody else whose made a good start.
Quite gutted there won't be any extra hours for me to add to this for a few weeks.... bring on the eBay mountain.

Hope you all had a great Easter. :beer:
Just stumbled across this thread and would love to join in that's still possible.
Got about £3000 worth of debt to get rid off and this challenge would be a great motivator. I'm already a member of the 'sealed pot challenge', '£2 savers club' and 'PAD'.
Looks like i'll be starting a 2nd job soon so the additional money will go straight onto paying debts. No frivolous stuff!
Enjoy what's left of your long weekend peeps. :T0
