    Shoes will be at least £26 as we go to Clarkes because she's still small.

    I emailed Dooyoo about my cheque this morning too.

    My cheque arrived yesterday Wendz, hope yours was in the same batch.

    Having a carp week ak work and not enjoying it at all. Really can't wait for the weekend. I could really have walked out last night, but the mortgage man makes me stay!
    Hopefully the weekend will refresh me a bit.

    I don't seem to be doing anything on the money making front and really should get back into it as I feel myself slipping away from it.

    Keep going YB! Maybe it's time for a fresh challenge or approach? I'm thinking of alternating challenges to cut down on spending with those to make money in order to keep me motivated.

    I know I just seem to be running out of ideas to make money.
    I did get the weekly shop under £50 this week including delivery which was fab but I bet I forgot stuff.

    Are you any good at crafting etc? How about making things for Christmas and selling on ebay or something?
    Well done on groceries.

    I do make my own jewellery, and have just looked into selling online through some sites. Not sure if it'll sell though.

    Might be worth a try. I know someone who brings things in to work to see if anyone is interested.

    I also know there are people who sell things at a charity Christmas Fayre. They have to pay for a table so I guess that is more risky.
