    Im not keeping any totals at the moment as just sorting out my bank etc - so much in and out need to get it organised better
    Im owed £1k from a relative to be paid over the next month or so, Shall I add that? or not! Once im paid and know how much ive got in my bank etc will start to transfer money into an ISA so can keeo track of totals saved
    Also got my hours changed at work from 4 days a week to 3 longer days which will suit me better as ive got more days off now to ebay and clear out and make more money :)

    I won my first 'biggie' last month - a £500 farmstay holiday to Cornwall...well chuffed and you do have to be in to win - that win was from an internet lucky dip Parenting mag comp too...so not even any effort required![/QUOT

    That's great, well done :jSo do you enter a lot of comps then? I used to enter a lot and won some useful stuff like child car seats, small electricals and DVDs etc, nothing that big though! I'd love a free holiday. I'm going to try and enter just one comp a day. So out of 365 maybe I can get lucky :D

    Was a tad worried when it arrived in a 'buff beastie', couldn't think what bill it might be so it was a very pleasant surprise. :D

    Good luck on the comping front.

  • hmmmm pretty quiet day for me today, no major money making but did a bit of saving. Got my bus fare (£4.20) back from a hospital appointment which meant I got to check out the local shops also 'bus fare free' unfortunately I got lured into New look and came out £31 poorer :eek: .....although did get a coat, 2 pairs of shoes and 2 silk flower brooches and all WILL ALL be used often...honest!! :think: Also nipped into Iceland for a cheapo dinner and got some real bargains 6 complete meals and a bag of mixed veg (so I can do some home cooking 2mo and avoid the 'nothing in/ready' evening shop for a while) all for £3.75 saved aprox £5.
    Also saw some real bargains in home and bargain so tempted to stock up on a few bits to sell on later in the year, mostly christmas stuff, has anyone tried this before, is it worth the wait??
    Have 6 items on ebay at the moment all with bids, nothing major but at least its selling! :j Will add to total once they have ended.
    £264.05 / £11,000 in 2011 :j
    frugal living 2011 total spend £300 :mad:

    Oops i've had too much time on my hands with being off work. I've bought 2 web domains -both com and co.uk and ordered business cards and set up a new email account. Haven't even registered the business yet. That's my number one job for tomorrow. Today's proved pretty expensive - i hope it pays off this time. I've got a good feeling about it - but always do have a good feeling about new ventures until i mention them to OH/Mum and then i write them off. I don't know whether i'm 'brave and ambitious' or 'deluded and idiotic' lol. I'll stick with the former for now!
    Just £10,852.28p to go...

    :D

    And then do it.
