Well done WelshSaver..I just love those £2 coins!!

WelshSaver

Thanks brizzle they are great and mount up so quickly. I sold another item on ebay making a profit of £6.19 and I am going to try so hard this month to track our spending, otherwise it gets so out of control.

Hi Welshsaver

Well done on the payment and the ebay!!

Do you keep a spreadsheet? Or maybe a note book of everything you spend?

I have an excel spreadsheet which keeps me up to date, i cant believe I have been so unorganised for so long!:rotfl:

PM if you want me to send you a template to use.

Thanks Karen for the offer of the template. I have started putting everything down in a spreadsheet, I will see how it goes, but may take you up on your offer.

Not much to report today, done a couple of scratchcards and had 10p and 10p.

Right, debt to pay off this month is Littlewoods, so far I have £9.51 towards paying this off, plus the regular monthly payment is £47.36. Only £132.16 left to find. I have a few things I can list on ebay, but must push myself more to get them photographed and listed.

How was your day?

Mine was pretty unexciting but we did send off our 2 ebay parcels. Progress..

And have canvassed OH for suggestions for listing some CDs and stuff as I am running out of ideas of what we can sensibly sell. Need another money making scheme for sure. But he is up for it so once get back from hols will have a push on that.

Have a great week next week everyone..

Hi Brizzle not much happening for me over the last few days. Had £31.66 from quidco. Signed up for a mystery shop, but didn't succeed in being accepted. Thought that might be the way for me to get some extra money, but I won't give up trying.

Are you off on holiday Brizzle, if so have a lovely time and good luck with finding some more stuff to list.

Still decorating, hoping to finish this weekend. Have a good weekend all.

WelshSaver

Very productive day cleaning the house and washing. Drying nicely on the line. But nothing done in the money department. Must get moving in the right direction, can't make money doing nothing.

WelshSaver

Made £1.60 on a bet this evening, so a little bit extra to add to the next payment. Total of £90.13 to pay off littlewoods, now £98.90 left to find. Also managed to get 2 free cinema tickets for a showing the day after mothers day, so will see if my mum want's to go with me.

Washed the car inside and out today, it was a disgrace, so feel a great sense of achievement now its clean.

Hi Welsh Saver..back online again. Yes had great time thanks - awesome -was in France doing our annual cheap as possible (MSE:rotfl:) family skiing trip. A 900km drive back (13 hours?) from the Alps to Calais tho was a bit grim..thank god BIL and OH did all the driving!!

Great news about Quidco - how did you manage that?? And did you get to the cinema..haven't been since Avatar at Christmas and this is from a girl who used to go with OH about twice a month before..between children, time shortages and MSE..oh how times have changed:(

WelshSaver

Hi Brizzle, glad you had a great holiday, does you good, bet you feel refreshed and ready to go again on the MSE trail. We did manage to get to the cinema, saw Blind Side with Sandra Bullock, absolutely fab, never sure how the free tickets will pan out, but it was well worth seeing.

Quidco was just a few clicks and small offers that I took up, should see approx £30 a months for a few months anyway, where I have been clicking away daily.

Haven't done very well lately on money making, just quidco. Is it free listing on ebay this weekend?
