    Hi everyone, haven't been on in a while but have £89.74 to add from ebay and amazon sales, one small MS, Tesco vouchers, raiding the £2 jar and winning a pub quiz!

    Amazon seems to have completely dried up for me but I have sold a few bits on ebay which has motivated me a little more than usual. I have had an offer from Egg to settle my account for 75% - the figure shown in my sig is for two accounts so I am hoping to manage to settle one for just over £1k using all my leftover wages plus everything I have paid off my overdraft,which means if I want to do anything fun next month I'd better get into gear with this challenge! I know they may make the offer again in future but it would save me nearly £300 so seems too good to pass up although it will be very tight...

    Anyway, self motivational rambling over!

    got £10 from free scratchcard today (I'll be adding it this way rather than what i get each day)

    total now £118.91/£155

    won a 2line on virgin from freebie scratchcards win and withdrew £5

    saved £10 on 2 xmas pressies using a tesco code (actually had £80 worth for £22 so saved £58 but will only class the money off code

    saved £20 on 2 phones (actually paid on a gift card I won but will just count the saving) didnt realise there was £10 off so was a nice bonus.

    and a little 90p using a 10% code on my order last night on M&S

    I did use cashback sites but I will include them when I withdraw rather than when it goes through.

    all in all to add to my total a fab £35.90 :D
