    Any extra money is good even if it isn't lots, you're still doing well. I think that's why I'm finally putting bits on ebay now.

    Payday today! Yay, there was a few extra £ from tax credits that I didn't realise and the extra from my wages got moved straight into savings so I don't spend it.

    OH is working tomorrow so am planning on having a bit of a clearout and doing another ebay crawl. We also have a charity bag collection for tuesday so perfect opportunity to get rid of some carp too.

    £2.22 in bank interest being the 1st of the month. Not much but it all helps

    Just logging this for my own reference, but I need £12 per day to reach my wedding target by 2/1/11

    This gives me loads of leeway and to start saving again for other bits for the house. I will look at this figure on 1st June and see what it is per day again until next jan

    Hi there
    You're sounding all positive again and £12 per day is definitely achieveable for you. Keep up the good work.

    Morning Primula. Yes back to the positives, a new month always helps that.

    Got a few bits to list on Ebay later, and am going to cook a nice roast pork for lunch soon.

    Well today wasn't too bad in the end. I bought DD some new school trousers - £16, dd2 some more pull up for night time 1/3 off in boots, DD2 her birthday present of a vtech camera (£50) but only cost me £10 as I had £30 in vouchers and used £10 nectar points as well.
    We needed a birthday present but only spent a fiver and I have some cards and wrap at home.

    Went to Harvester for dinner but MIL insisted on paying which was nice. Best of all I didn't use the credit card.

    One item selling on Ebay tonight which has been round three times now so not bad. Going to play free bingo tonight if it lets me log in (8-10pm in TAB)

    My finances aren't too good already this month and I have lots to pay out for. Dentist next week which is just as well as my gum enlarged and popped again this morning, so it'll prob be another course of anti biotics when I see him next week on top of the fee.

    I have to buy dd1 her birthday pressies and get the bits together for DD2's party at the beginning of June.

    Bleugh

    I have rooted through the freezer and dug out a portion of risotto for my dinner at work tonight. I hope it doesn't poison me lol.
