    Think it definitely does not sound like it's worth the grief of lending her money!

  • Definately not, I mean it's only £8, I probably should have forgotten about it, but at the same time it's my £8!!!

    £8 or £800 - if you borrow money you should pay it back without being asked.

    You shouldn't have to forget about it!

  • Well that's what I thought, thanks for reassuring me hun.

    The most annoying thing is that she says she's finding it tight just now but has ate out for tea the last 3 nights!

    So Sunday and Monday were both NSDs - I think that's the first time in ages that I've had two in a row, how bad is that?!

    The money for my phone finally came out of my account so that's one less thing to worry about.

    Today's outgoings:
    £2.50 for Zumba

    Today's incomings:
    £0.00

    Should have some incomings shortly, will note them down when I get them.

    I'm now a member of several survey sites and the majority of them pay into a paypal or bank account, will try my best to fill out every survey I get because it's easy money really.

    Going to need to be strict with my July budget I think...

  • So today I have signed up for the July make £10 a day challenge, but I'm making a couple of changes :p I'm only doing make £5 a day as this is my first attempt and I don't want to set a target too high. Also I'm starting from today as I've only discovered the thread a couple of days ago and it was too late to catch up for June.

    So my aim is to make £200 by the end of July. It seems nice and simple really, the only thing that can't be added is money from your main job, so I'm going to put a couple of things on gumtree, several items on eBay and got some old mobiles to trade in, plus cash back, surveys and bingo free daily - should be able to do it!

    Also if I make that £200 then Target 1 will have £2000 in it by the end of July!

    Today's Outgoings:
    £2.50 Zumba

    Oh and apparently old mobiles tend to make more money on ebay (even broken) than they do through the recycling companies :)
