Argh, how annoying , dh's laptop won't me change colours so I can find past posts easily, I will have to get up and use the pc, what a waste of energy :rotfl:

January'mini challenge:

• Stick to a grocery budget of £150 for the month
• Make an op everyday even if just 10p
• Keep a spending diary of everything I spend (impossible with dh he would never agree, but he has his own money!)

Thats it. I think a max of 3 things is enough, but I will also try and batch cook, do surveys, make washing gloop and anything else I can think of

Good challenges newgirly - off to think up some of my own in a minute!!

Happy New Year to you hope 2013 is a good one!!

Thanks tyo, happy new year to you too!

I've made my first op of the year today of £39.03 :j £30 of that was the sky payment that I won't have for 3 months, the rest odd bits and pieces.

Dinner is very frugal as its all mum and dads leftover (homemade) curry from their dinner party with friends last night they thought we might like.

I think if I can persuade dd to help I might attempt ebay tonight

I didn't manage to get dd to help me with ebay (very embarrassing but I can barely text ) but I've identified a few things which I can sell for a few £'s.

I'm also debating whether to continue with onepoll, as I have about £3 worth so to get up to £40 payout will take forever and I'm not sure I can face it! On the other hand when you do surveys for pennies it makes it harder to spend money as it takes so long to earn it. I should probably carry on with it I guess.:D

Good challenges Newgirly and well done on your first op of the year.
I still haven't got round to using eBay myself.....one day!

I did sell an unused thorpe park ticket on there a couple of months ago with dd's help and it went for over double the face value, I couldn't have been more excited of i'd won the lottery, watching the bids go up was fantastic.:D

It's funny but I love onepoll and find payout only takes a couple of months if I check regularly. I must just be lucky with my profile I guess. Come on newgirly, it's free money .
