    Hi Elly - I'm pretty good. lot on at work at the moment but I like it that way. its more motivating.
    I see you booked holidays which must be exciting. Not coming near us this year though I see.
    not doing as well with budget. not gone over yet but getting close with the food one. still ours is only £200 for month. may up it back to £220 in future. we did have a chippy tea the other week though so that made a dint.
    how are you doing? you've got thinner and I've got fatter haha.

    littletinybill - I include money that I would have spent so if I cancel a subscription I include that because I am increasing my disposable income which I can then use to pay my debts off.
    everyone does it differently and thats fine. we all had slightly different ways of calculating it last year but we didn't fall out and we weren't in competition.
    So just do what works for you.

    Ive done another review on DY and will see if I can cross post it to ciao tonight :) but apart from that nothing major to report really which is a shame :( !
    I need to keep remembering to go on Onepoll all the time because I'm doing badly on it and keep forgetting! I also have 2 more reviews sort of in the pipeline so that will be ok and hopefully I'll get them done over the nect few days!
    Apart from that, nothing much to add!!

    Well im now 1/4 of the way to my onepoll payout :j.

    More change put into the piggy.

    Nothing else to report sadly.
  • Sold an old phone on envirophone and some ebay things, which I'm not sure I will make a profit on tbh when postage is included.

    Creeping closer to the 1k mark! Only 12 days left of January so that's £12.59 per day to get to 1k. Seems manageable. Perhaps. :o

    I have another old phone lying around somewhere which I'm going to attempt to sell. Time to start rummaging for other things too I think! :money:

    Lucky you! I actually found some old share certificates the other day & although I haven't actually rung up anywhere to confirm it, I am pretty sure that two of them relate to companies that went bust and the third although still going, has a part of the certificate missing & I am presuming that this was the section necessary if you cashed them in so basically just 3 worthless certificates for me alas!

    Hi Sally,

    I was in the same boat I'd got an old share certificate and a company contacted me to see if I'd like to sell them etc. If you want PM me and I will find out what the company's name is :D
  • Morning all! Having a tough week at work this week but still managing to keep things ticking over on here.

    Woke up to a nice £6.03 for my Userlystics payment this morning so added that straight away. Closing in on the dooyoo payout so have that to add soon with £50 coming from captain cashback as well.

    Still going well

    Hope everyone else is fine!

    Got my money from City Bingo into my account this morning so added that to my total.

    Won £1.78 on free bingo yesterday so have added that to my mini challenge as well.

    Have some money to withdraw on Sing Bingo just waiting for my 24hr free play to stop and with then withdraw as much as poss, its around £50 at the moment.

    Thats all at the moment, next car boot is a week on sunday (indoor!) so not a lot going on at the moment!

  • Good morning!

    Im chilling out with a cuppa atm whilst ebaying after arguing with the guys who came to pick up my car :( it should have been lifted/towed and they drove it away! they asked if it was driveable - erm,i dont know,thats why your taking it away?! Apparently, you can buy the car back if it gets written off,so although im effectivly starting this challenge all over again next month,if i can get the car cheap,im buying it to sell on as spares/repair as ive already had an offer on the car.

    I started using topcashback as it was recomended on this thread,very happy as its a lot better to use than Q and its all tracking within a day or so :D The xbox was listed in several free ads and on ebay last night,and ive got a new phone due today (only wanted the sim card) so that is also on ebay. If they both sell,thats another £200 :) Has anyone here ever sold home made cakes,etc at a car boot sale?

    Hope everyone has a good day!
    ;)
