pickle99 - thats a fantastic start:T
Elly - I'm doing it monthly as I tend to buy a lot at the start of the month and then top up weekly so first week is an overspend. maybe I should divide the remaining 3 weeks up into weekly though. hmm
Em - enjoy the walk. If you can't find the form can you download another? may be quicker in long run.

well cant believe it , I went to check the excersize bike listing and it had sold at the buy it now price :j. Really chuffed !
Then popped into the charity shop and picked up a pair of River Island jeans brand new at £2.50 , so got them home and listed them straight away.
I was thinking how I used to dry our clothes in the tumble dryer
or put the central heating on to dry them , but lately I have been hanging the clothes on a giant clothes rack , so wonder how much this saves me each time ?
Might do some competitions tonight but its very poor returns , I do so many ,about 100 a day and have only won 2 small items in 6 months :mad:. I feel I should give up comping and put my efforts into other ideas.
off to check my surveys now, keep up the good work everyone :T .Kindness costs nothing0 -

Nothing much happening today but I have progress on the go.
I put an old amplifier on Gumtree and have haggled an offer from someone for £60 which is fair.
My 3 eBay items I've put up have a total of 45 watchers with 8 days to go so can expect a good bit of bidding on them next Sunday!
My mother is also getting married this year and wants me to get a nice new kilt - her paying! So, I am going to go to the kilt store and haggle down a beauty I've seen which is £400. In any case, the money I would save on kilt rental for university ball, wedding and graduation would be about £150! YES! I'll include this once the kilt is bought.Wins:

Had a result on Costabingo, had £10 bonus and was playing that and won enough to withdraw, had to deposit first so put in £10 got a £20 bonus and withdrew £35, so £25 profit when it hits the bank and still got around £35 to play with!:j:jSell £1000 in 2016 - £12.48/£1000

Hi all
Went shopping with mum today. I had £150 that I had budgeted for the trip, I wanted some new bra's and then I promised to buy baby bath etc for bro and his gf.
Bra's are never cheap for me as I am rather big busted but M&S had a HUGE sale on and I got 4 bras. 1 full price and 3 for £1 each!! I couldn't believe me luck.
I then got the bath and stuff from mothercare/boots mothercare had a 30% off on a certain bath range so I spent £58 in there altogether and I got a bath, top and tail bowl, towels and a couple of other bits so didn't do too badly there and then I went to a massive tesco store and they have johnson's baby range, everythign for £1 so I got some brill bargains!! Got cotton wool balls, cotton buds, johnsons baby lotion, talcum powder, no more tears shampoo, some moisturiser of some sort, nappy rash cream, pack of nappies, pack of wipes and a paif of gorgeous pink "ugg" boots, all for £16!!
So in all I managed to save myself around £60 I think so that is going into my pot. I am a very happy babymoo0 -
