    Hi,

    Well not a lot new to report this week. I have started to do the make £10 a day (although have started with £5) but not had much success this week as been extremely busy with parents eves and mock exams at school! Just seem absolutely wiped out this week. I have however reviewed a few more resources for a textbook company and will hopefully get paid for that late nov - so I won't count it until I get it!! I have also had 4 no spend days this week (amazing I think!) I am really making the effort to make sandwiches etc for lunch and use up all my veg....could do with some nice budget meals to make that don't cost too much and don't take too much effort, I don't like to cook too much!

    Other than that, been doing free scratch cards and had a small sort out ready to list a couple of items on ebay when I get a moment :)

    Hope everyone is well, half term next week!!

    Hi,

    Ok I am going to try this a different way this month - normally I pay off a chunk of my credit card at the beginning of the month and then end up spending on it by the end because I couldn't afford to pay that much! So, this month, I am going to pay £100 off which should leave me with plenty of spare and I am going to take £50 out a week in cash, when that is gone, its gone so technically I should have plenty left to pay a nice bundle off my debts at the end of the month....easier said than done I know, but if I am focussed, I can hope it will work. I am looking at other income too, I have been reviewing some resources for the new GCSE syllabuses and am due some money for that at end of month and some more at end of next month and I am doing lots of surveys (as you can see by my sig). Oh and I have sold a couple of items on ebay :) I don't quite know how to record this on make £10 a day as it always takes a while for money to come through, so I am making a spreadsheet to see how much I can gain in a month!

    Wooo I still feel focussed....am starting to think about xmas presents too otherwise to get best deals, otherwise its going to cost me a fortune!!

    Any hints or tips guys?
