I've requested £10 from the scratchcards, and I have hit my next £50 on dooyoo, so once I have got my miles validated, I will request that.
Both to be added to my total once they hit my bank account, but in all honesty, I have forgotten what I have added in so far, so my signature is probably highly incorrect as far as this challenge goes
I went to the races on Friday night, and came home £15 better off than I went - not much, but hey, a profit is a profit!! Got to see Boyzone too after the races, so a free concert too - all paid for by work, so good stuff!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes.

Hey everyone! I've not been around for a few days - have had some overtime at work and lots of MS's so been very busy, but it's all in aid of the challenge
I hope you're all doing well this month.
Debtbegone chin up hon, you will get there! Think of all the money you’ve made for this challenge - it’s all money you wouldn’t have had otherwise. Hope you're feeling better today xI think thats all three of us in July - is that right glitter? Mine is the 10th. My mum is a super duper cake baker but she's not good at decorating so not sure whether to get her to do just the making only
Yay congratulations Welshgirl, another July 2010 bride! Yep Jesa - I think it’s you first on the 10th, then me on 17th and Welshgirl on the 31stOoh that's going to be a fab month isn't it! Would you have someone else who could do the cake decorating, and would your mum not mind?
I've got a few bits to add;
* £6.04 in Boots points. I only spent £2.25 to get them too, thanks to sale clearance stuff and extra points vouchers. Got to love Boots bargains! Think I totally confused the poor sales lady handing over all my vouchers though, oops
* Put a bet on as part of a mystery shop and made a grand total of £2.80
* 39p interest
* Also some overtime - £50.42 after tax
* Another £1 from Lightspeed - not quite sure what happened, but they gave me 50 points even though I didn’t qualify for a survey, and then another 120 points for answering 2 questions in another survey that took me about 30 seconds? Wish they were all like that!
* 77p Clubcard points
Had quite a good MS month so far too, have got about 8 or 9 payments due -I'll add them as I recieve them. But got no more lined up for the rest of the month now though, it’s all gone a bit quiet. Day off tomorrow so will be Ebaying lots hopefully (I might need some motivation and a kick up the bum though!)
