    good luck jak
    no angel i got full value back on my uni books on amazon
    well i will edit my signature today going to do it weekly
    to all the new comers welcome i didnt find the thread last year till end of january and people joined throughout the year.
    i feel better organised this year and have plans last year we moved house so got into bootsales and freegling do remember if there is something you need washing machine ect it might be worth trying on your local freecycle instead of buying and you can add to your total that way
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x

    Thanks for all the support guys. I've got a friend who had an interview at the same place and nearly got it so she's going to come over and help me. Also can look online. I can't wait!
    This morning i've made £20.25 profit via onepoll cahsback on a casino! Yay! Had to spend through £20 for £25 cashback and was able to cash out £15.25 back to my credit card. The best thing is it's validated immediately and now my min payment has been made on my credit card. Will put the first £4.75 on my credit card and use the rest to pay off my laptop. x
    2022 Comp total (prizes + free spins): £494.81 #20 £12 a day Jan: £382.95/£372 #57 360 1p challenge: £17.70 £10 a day Feb: £571.09/£280 March: £311.96/£310

  • I notice that different people are calculating thief savings different.

    Some are physically saving the 11k so thier bank will show 11k
    And some are trying to male themselves 11k better off buy not spending As much on things they would usually. I.e shopping, utilities, going out.

    Personally, I'm going for the 'i want 11k in cash' challenge :)

    There isn't a wrong way of doing it really
