    Hello, :wave:

    Newbie here to this thread, hope that's ok. :) Been on the Grocery Challenge since March and reduced spending hugely through it.

    I should've posted yesterday but ran out of time. Anyway, I reduced our service cover on the central heating yesterday by £17 per month.

    Today, I've listed one unused mobile on ebay and sold two old ones to a phone recycler for £14 & £1. Also went through Quidco so bagged £3 cashback on those too. :D

    Those are my small DFW contributions today. Last week I did all the money makeover stuff, amended finances and started up my DFW diary.

    Take care,
    Spigs
