Oh yes it really does all help.

I've been out shopping this morning, bought my new winter boots - paid £5.50 (rest was vouchers), a new handbag - paid £11 (rest was vouchers), DD2 a toy she wants for xmas - paid £11 (rest was vouchers) and spent £20 in Asda on stocking bits for both girls.

Wow, well done, that's an amazing haul ~ had to laugh at the 3 '(rest was vouchers)' :rotfl: How did you manage that?? Were they from surveys?? I have two £10 M&S vouchers & one £10 Boots voucher via VO that I intend using for Christmas.

Yep, from surveys that I have saved through the year etc. I was aiming to spend the M&S ones on xmas pressies but there was nothing we wanted for anyone to buy for, so I had them.

£8.15 moved into the OP pot this morning.

I've been doing my sums this evening and have worked out what I need to pay next year to be on target for the ten year plan. I am going to aim to OP the interest each month which will set me on target nicely and sits at around £250 ish varying each month.

In the last few days I have

- sold items on ebay - £45 - £35 into DD1's clothes xmas present budget and the rest in paypal to go towards pressies.
- Worked 5 hours extra to be paid at the end of the month (more than likely to go towards dd1's xmas pressie clothes fund.)
- redeemed a £10 argos voucher - to go towards someone's xmas pressie

Well done yukki...ebay is great for raising a bit of money. Isold a lot of stuff recently and kept the money in my paypal account to buy bits and pieces like ink for the printer and a couple of xmas pressies....it means the money in the bank seems to go further

I got that email too. Have a few more bits to put on this weekend, but am working most of it so will have to be super organised

Nothing much happening in my MFW world hence no updates I'm afraid. I did OP a token £15 but now I have been concentrating on xmas pressies. Nearly finished and then I can get back to overpaying and saving again.

I am doing well on taking food to work and staying out of the shops which is resulting in the word "M*******S" appearing a lot less on my bank statements when I check online.
