    Thanks Zeddy, hope I didnt bore you too much and good luck with your quest too.

    I have done my daily clicks and made £0.66p:eek:

    Can anyone advise better sites to use? I use Topcashback, yougov, onepoll, maximiles, archerfish, pureprofile, myshoppingrewards.

    Can anyone recommend any other MS companies too? I am currently with Grass roots.

    Oh and could anyone recommend me to shop and scan/Iscan and Pinecone? I would be very grateful;)

    Off to make a start on ebay and applying for some freebies

    I made next years gift tags from this years Xmas cards

    I spent all yesterday afternoon applying for about 50 freebies and entering about 40 competitions. Hope this is my lucky year, I will spend much of today doing the same.

    well 1st day of the new year and I have managed to pay £50 to holiday account £50 to bathroom account and £50 to Mortgage. :j

    I have also joined the 2011MFW and set my target as £1200.

    Been thinking about resolutions and have come up with a few
    • To pay AT LEAST £1200 extra off the mortgage
    • To get the bathroom done
    • To save £750 for Xmas and £250 for small vet bills/innoculations/things not covered by insurance
    • To lose a stone and tone up
    • To get pregnant:p easier said than done.
    • To be more organised and keep a tidier house
    • To have a massive declutter
    • Work harder at making more money i.e Ebay, daily clicks apply for more freebies and MS
    • Read more
    • Swim more
    I think thats enough to get on with:rotfl:


    God I have not posted for ages.

    I Still been working hard with the saving and MFW though.

    I have just been too busy sticking to my other resolutions:rotfl:

    I am ahead of target for paying off £1200 this year. I have paid off the holiday 2 months early and I am half way into saving the spends.

    I am entering loads fo competitions and have won a few.

    I have received over £100 from Topcashback this year so far.

    I will probably just update this ever now and then as I have time, but will alway compulsively keep my sig up to date xxx

    Oh we managed to shave another month off the original mortgage term with the OP. Thats 18 months saved so far!!!:D:D:D:D:D:T

    Hope you are all well

    End of Month Update

    Mortgage Overpayment £120.31
    Savings £180.00

    When we started this journey I would never have imagined having £300 spare at the end of a month but never mind:money:

    NOt having a good week, had an accident this weekend with the dog, I was playing rough with her and I came off worse, she caught my face and I ended up spending my birthday having surgery.:o

    Had better months but never mind, onwards and upwards

    On a plus side, we have started to seriuosly think about the bathroom and we are having it down while we are on hols. We have already bought the tiles (HOW MUCH??????) luckily they were 15% off.

    The holiday is now paid off and we are just saving a little bit of spending money, we dont need much as we are only going to a cottage, so its just petrol money and nice groceries.

    I love these council tax free months!!!!:rotfl:
