    Hello again! Can I join in this month please? I'll do a fiver a day for this month - I only did bits and bobs in April, due to family circumstances, so I won't have much coming in from previous work. I'm not quite sure what I can do, but for May I'm currently sitting at £27.97/£155 Uh oh - behind already, it should be £65 .... ah well, I'll do what I can. Money already is in is made up of:
    Amazon sales - £16.18
    free litre milk - £0.79
    casino thingy - £11.

    I'd better get going! Got a couple of mystery shop payments on the way, that'll keep me going...

    Got £5 for BP this morning (added).
    Also - although not strictly "May" am very proud of myself and have dug a veggie patch today and started planting some free seeds I got! (I grow prize weeds so am very pleased with myself for taming our huge garden and using some of it to save money!). I've done carrots, beetroot and lettuce - have tomatoes to pot and will be doing more over the coming days! So.... in weeks to come I can save on my shopping and add to challenges!
