    Just managed the fiver this month! :j

    Four ebay sales last night totalling a smidge over £18 and I've got my co-op membership vouchers through the post today - £19 :D I should get the boyf to use my card every time he buys his work supplies, would get me a bit more then!

    Vouchers are going to be uber handy since we're planning camping tomorrow and were going to go pick up supplies from le coop tonight anyway :D (apart from that I'm not having a fantastic day though!)

    I've still got items on ebay and whatnot so I'm not stopping but I'm not going to up my target at all - just see what I manage to bring in :)

    Pinkneonmartini - well done on your fab birthday haul hun, sounds like you had a lovely day! :D

    Just £1.25 Valued Opinions and £4 pinecone to report. A pathetic start to the month for me! Lol. Hope it picks up soon. Feel a bit demotivated and rubbish at the moment actually… money stuff is so time consuming and it’s just like one step forward and two steps back! Loads of my cashback hasn’t tracked, some of it’s been extended so I bet it won’t pay out, keep getting screened out of surveys, got nothing left to sell on Ebay etc. Argh!

    It’s going to be a very expensive month too…a wedding and hen night to go to, loads of birthdays etc. The wedding we are going to, they’ve asked for cash... which is fair enough….but now I feel like I have to give them more than I’d have spent on a pressie, because they’ll know how much it is! The bride keeps dropping hints at work, like ’oh you lot better not be tight with my wedding money’ (I nearly fell over when she said that!)… and when I picked her a sandwich up from the shop the other day she was like ’I’d better give you the money back for that, don’t want you taking it out of my wedding pressie!’. I wouldn’t mind but they’ve only invited us to the night do, yet they still put a note in with the evening invitations asking for money. Feel pressured to give more than we can really afford now, as I know she will judge people on how much they give :o Also have to pay £80 to the Law Society before I can start my uni course in Sept, and just had to spend £120 on new glasses for driving too, argh! I should actually get half of the cost of the frames back which is nice (was doing a mystery shop) - but my stupid eyes need expensive lenses, which I don‘t think I can claim for. I didn’t ask to be short sighted and blind as a bat, so it adds insult to injury to pay £120 for the pleasure :p Sorry for the rant…it’s just was actually feeling quite positive when I looked at my bank balance after getting paid last week, and now it’s back to a big fat zero again, booooo! Oh well, perhaps it will motivate me. Must try harder!

    hi glitterjunkie, only just had time to start reading and spotted your post, probably too late now (!) but next time maybe suggest that everyone at work puts their money together and give as a lump sum. That way you can give an amount you're comfortable with and the recipient doesn't have to know the individual amounts.
    Apologies if this was already suggested, I am still working my way through the posts!! :rotfl:
