my first week the mse way...

my first week the mse way.....and the more i do the more i want to do. Apart from petrol for work, ive spent about 2 quid ! And made about 150 from DFW methods (i.e. not work but ebay and other methods) !!! Also with all my cancelled direct debits for memberships i dont need reckon i will save approx 80 per month on top. Also have 60 quid from quidco coming my way. And another ebay sell of hopefully 50 quid.

Its also a week since i did my sub 20 quid shop and i still have a good few main meals left, so this weeks shop for maybe 10 quid !

I am going to judge how well ive done by checking my balances at each monthly payday. All excess will pay off debts.

MSE is great for motivation ! :beer:

    Well done, that's brilliant, you've got to tell us though, what are your 'other methods'?

    Sure does get addictive. Other methods are simply Ive had a few things ive "called in" such as had 16 quid credit left on my kays catalogue which i closed months ago.

    Come to think of it ive also said no to 2 nights out otentially saving 60 quid or more !
