    Me and OH have been asked to do some market research today , a first and hopefully more will come of it. £28 more goes in my pot!

    ( Still need to look down the side of the settees though so I may be back )

    I have done really well today, first I found 10p lying in the communal hallway of my block of flats..so I pocketted it. £5 savings in tesco (discounted products and whoopsie shelf buying things that I would normally buy if I wasnt so skint - e.g. free range chicken which was half price:D).

    More good news...I am on a course on Monday to learn how to stand up and speak to a room full of people and to write sales pitches that work..I was prepared to hand over £199 for this course but the guy who runs it has said that I can go for free:j

    Well, I'm off the starting blocks with a bit of overtime and exchanging some old foreign currency. I just took mine to a large post office that has a currency counter and they exchanged it without taking an extra charge (and the rate seemed reasonable). Regarding the comments above, I would exchange Euros now as the exchange rate is very favourable to exchange back to Sterling.

    Can't believe how quickly this is mounting up. Today I bought three presents from boots at 3 for 2 totalling £10. I used by boots points so have put the £10 to my challenge. Also bought £19 of presents using an old JJB voucher from last year. So will also transfer that amount from my christmas fund to my challenge. So an additional £29 towards my credit card debt. Bids are also creeping up slowly on my ebay items. Its so exciting! :D

    macgirl - slightly off topic sorry. How do you score through figures in the signature. I just can't see how to do it? Congrats on your bingo win. :beer:

    Went to our local rudby club fireworks display last night. Its £5 an adult but my brother was manning one of the gates so me and OH got in for free. I don't normally add savings but we walked 10 minutes extra to the other side of the park to get in for nothing and would have otherwise paid the £10 as we go every year. Then to top it off we found a tenner on the floor in the field - OH has very good eye sight to spot that in the dark :)

    For those of you with Foxy bingo accounts - each member is getting £5 free for logging in. I'm not sure exactly how long that is running for, I think a week or so, so get round on there quick
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155
