    It's been a great money making and money saving weekend for me this weekend. We had a quiet weekend in the house not spending any money but also won £100 on bingo and £5 from MS. :j

    Will update my signature when the money hits my bank.

    Nearly there with some survey sites so looking forward to payment of those. I'm feeling quite motivated at the moment so long may it continue!!

    I have a careers website which I use to sell advertising on, and I also do affiliate marketing promotions for it.

    I signed up 5 people to my affiliate partner's company yesterday which got me £7.50 in online income yesterday.

    Let's keep this challenge going! x
    Credit Card paid back in Full (June 2011): :j £500 in the clear -

    Haha, awesome. Yeah I think my boyfriend thinks I'm crackers too with all my ebaying and siffoning every little penny off into my 11k challenge. But hey, he won't be complaining if/when I end up buying a house with him :P

    Okay so I have only just started this “game” but so far I am proud of how I am doing.
    Saved £5 by cheating on the train – I know kind of illegal but I had a ticket for the night before just had “missed” it. It was a Sunday morning so figured I would get away with it- I DID!
    Used £2.50 in Tesco Vouchers
    Made a coffee in a flask rather than buying one this morning roughly saving £1.50

    I have £146.58 sitting in my paypal account from items I have sold on ebay – postage was £40 but Im not counting the postage as I would rather the £40 went into savings than just got fritted away if it went back into my current account- but I am not adding it to my total as am waiting for one person to pay up.

    I have signed up to a couple more mystery shops and have done a load of surveys this week. And I spend over an hour going around hobbiecraft looking at ideas of stuff to make (don’t worry I wont buy anything from there as its completely over-priced!!).

    My pot of £2 coin, 50 p’s and coppers is getting full very quickly.

    I am out of the country for 2 weeks for work next week which is great as I don’t spend anything so all the money I would have spent on petrol and food will go straight into the 11K fund!
    I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.

    Happy holidays Elly.

    Gardener's World Live was great but so busy and I resisted buying anything because I already have enough plants.

    Also saw a good idea of using tins from beans etc... to plant in just open the tin slightly on the bottom to help them drain.

    Picked up a few freebies and some vouchers whilst we were there.

    I am not doing any food shopping this week because I need to use up what we already have.

    I am a bit disappointed that I have had to throw out some food that I didn't realise was going off in my freezer.

    I am going to start making lists of what I need before I go shopping and make sure I check what I already have before I go.

    Adding £54.24 from Avon and also 6p I have found.

    Bye for now.
