thanks guys

taka - nice to hear we have something in common low OP lol . But every little helps.

Im currently with shop and scan and toluna which is nice vouchers which means i dont have money coming out of the bank.

Also i do one poll and pure profile for the cash side. I try to OP by at least £5 a week.

You register on volunteer4panels.com i think and when and if you get picked they send you out a little scanner like the supermarkets use and all the shopping you buy throughout the week you can scan and then send it to them via your computer. After every 8 weeks or so you can claim a £10 voucher its brilliant I love it.

Hope this helps although is been typed in a hurry

C ya soon

Hi Staceydaisy, just wanted to drop in and say good luck! I'm just starting out my MF challenge too and while I'm lucky that OH and I can put away a good basic amount to savings each month I'm trying to add to that with cash back, vouchers, selling stuff on Amazon and ebay and cutting down on grocery bills and fuel. I'm really bad for having a great idea then moving on to the next thing so I've been posting on here to keep up the motivation - and it works! Looking forward to your updates.

Good luck

You are doing so well!! It will take a while and it's days like this when we are here to prop you back up

Just think how many days interest you have knocked off by paying a little extra each week?

*hugs* xx

Hugs! You're doing great - just look back at what you've written already and you can see how much you've done. I've just signed up for a half marathon and a marathon next year so I have something positive to distract me from the mammoth house saving plan when I'm feeling rubbish about it. Bit drastic but it helps clear my head and I definitely feel more positive after a run........even though I'm not very fit, hee hee. Maybe it makes me feel better cos the savings are going faster than I run :rolleyes:.

Hope today gets better.
