challenge Make £11,000 in 2011 The Dribblers Advance

Good evening guys.

Forgot to mention earlier that my wages were in yesterday, with some overtime so once I have my paylisp I am going to add that total onto this challenge.

Got DS's child maintenece money this month, and as usual we are splitting it 50/50, with DS getting half to spend as he pleases and the other half for general living expenses. Because we do not get it every month, it isnt a reliable income and isn't on the SOA for us, as we can sometimes go for a few months without any and then we either get backdated, partially backdated or the usual amount. Confusing but that's just the way the cookie crumbles lol and it means that we get the occasional unexpected surprise through the door like this month. So that will be £400 extra for the pot and DS is also jigging at the thought of an xbox and has offered to pay for his own guitar lessons this month, we will probably save tons with him not nipping our head for pennies all the time!!

Its amazing how being on a site like this regularly can really help to motivate us, usually we would leave the money in the bank account and it would fritter away. Whereas it is straight in the wedding fund and good to go!

Local stuff on ebay looks really good, I need to get driving first though. Although when my Aunt visits every summer, she always does a car boot for us and it usually works out quite well!

I have alot of clothes that I could sell on ebay, so I will get sorting and make sure that I have sized and ironed it. I will get it sold in bundles though to get rid asap cos its taking up soooo much space! My house will be much cleaner when they have gone!

Overime is banned at work just now cos theres not enough work to justify it. It's really disappointing as this was a big income driver for me and OH (we work in the same place), not sure where else I can bring that in from but I know that I need to try my bestest!

How do you guys work in Tesco Clubcard points into your total, if indeed at all? i always use them for Rewards, so do I count 3x the value when I get them or when I use them? We are hoping to pay a grand of our honeymoon with these so it would be good to see how it actually works when completing the challenge.

I think I am going to start a diary, as I am doing a few challenges and kind of combining them to get the money together for the wedding, I think it would be good o keep everything together!

Have a good night everyone!

jo you should look on ebay for things you would like to sell on then set the preference to distance nearest ,i often ask if i can do local pick up on items not listed as pick up only been refused once.local ebay search doesn't always show these.
room is much darker with new curtains ,nikki have you tried the tesco distrubution centre near you they have twilight workers in the stores usually loads of women workers you'll be waxing on your tea break lol

Hey everyone, just wondering...what is PAD-ing??? Plus how do I know if someone has quoted me?

Thanks

hi its "payment a day" its a thread on dfw they make a payment everyday large or small to try and decrease debt then when clear they use the same principle to save .:D

hi Elly thats a good tip. could probably ask for local pick up no prob but what I tend to find is they get more bids as not confined to local bidders only if people will post. will keep my eye on it. have just seen 2 or 3 things to watch so will see how it goes.
GOTL you didn't put me to sleep.lol.
