Not managed much in the last few days as have been working late - sadly no overtime

In the last few days I have

• Been charging my phone on the train
• Been showering at night so my hair dries naturally
• made 2 loaves of bread
• found 3 unfranked stamps
• made 4p:eek: on clicks - just havent had the time :cool:
• been to library for books instead of buying magazine
• received £2 of Andrex Vouchers for a compliment

At the weekend I am going to Ikea to start my winter/xmas prep.

I have a day off through the week next week so I can get on with some stuff.

The O/P this month will be £30 ish. Get paid in 6 days and will transfer it then. In OCtober it will be much better when the fixed rate ends

Have just caught up with your thread, lots of luck in your MFW journey!

Wow Mennie, you are working hard. Makes me feel like I need to up my game.

I gave up on clicks a long time ago - they seem to take up so much time when I could be doing something more productive. I had thought about revisiting that idea but maybe I'll wait to see if you can increase your returns. Will be watching your posts in anticipation.

Well after this weekend our overpayment on the mortgage this month will be minimal as we only have about £15 left at the end of the month.

This was because we have had to buy stain for our garden furniture. Last years weather really took its toll. Better £13 on some stain than replacing the £350 furniture

Then we went to buy 6 fleeces to line the curtains with, a winter duvet, 4 x bottles of gin for making xmas presents. I also bought 1 xmas present and stocked up on some sauces etc than I usually would pay more for

I did manage to use £3.89 worth of money off coupons, earnt 83p in clicks and applied for lots of freebies, made more bread and entered some comps.


Today I am off work - Dentists:eek: So I will be...................

• Doing my daily clicks - got an email from an MSEer detailing how to make £3.20+ per day, will let you know
• Tidying the house
• Making 2 bottles of Damson Gin
• Making 2 batches of bean chilli
• Making a large pan of soup
• Making 1 batch of duck in black bean sauce - very cheap duck legs in the freezer
• Making 10 batches of thai green chilli sauce, bought paste for 29p in HB and have hard blocks of coconut for 29p each.
• Applying for loads of freebies
• Entering some comps
• crossing my fingers the dentist doesnt cost much!!!

It is looking like my OP will be £5 and £10 to the savings, not much I know but everylittle helps.:rotfl:

Also just received £4 in tresemme vouchers for asking them a question.:j

I have applied to Shop and Scan too to join all their panels, this has been quite a productive day off so far

With all the shampoo/conditioner vouchers I had recieved lately, I will never need to buy it again:beer:

I cant beleive I have done everything from my to do list today, may even tackle the ironing later.

Made my August overpayment today.....

Just 12.50. Been a tough month

Have been paid £18 for a couple of mystery shops, just that is going in an xmas account

Made £1.70 yesterday and 90p today doing the clicks, its going up

Got a voucher for a free carton of dog milk that we buy anyway.

Have applied to be on a few panels - tesco, boots and ayton moon.

I feel this is a rubbish overpayment and quite annoyed with myself. :mad: Will try extra hard in September.

Don't worry how little you overpay - every little helps, as they say! LOL. I've made payments as small as 90p!
