    Good morning, welcome to the new challengers and an extra welcome to first time MSE posters. :) I've now added the latest names to the alphabetical list, so start sussing out how to earn that extra.

    Emmajayne, what area of Scotland are you relocating to? I'm in the southwest and love it here. Not much chance of any mystery shopping or anything like that, mind you. In fact, not much chance for shopping where I am, unless it's for basics. :rotfl:
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    Frugal living challenge - living on little in 2025 while frugalling towards retirement.

    Made a cracking start today - counted up the pot of 5ps and coppers I have been collecting for a while - £106 :shocked:

    I've looked to see how much my crappy old mobile handsets are worth for recycling - £23.00 - better than a poke in the eye! Will send those off tomorrow.

    :j:j

    That will probably be it for me now for the whole challenge hahahaha!

    Jo :D
