Just paid another 2k off this month! Reduces the repayment by around £13 a month.

Am aiming to save around £700 per month now.W're happy with the level of savings we have so now absolutely everything spare can be chucked at the mortgage.

Got over the £200 mark in my £2 coin jar.

Saved the details of 4 dvds on music magpie. Didn't realise you had to have a minimum of 10 in order to sell, will have a rifle through the dvd cupboard later, I'm sure we can find some more we never watch!

Received a £15 John Lewis/Waitrose voucher as a small work bonus

Also received a My Waitrose card in the post; I must be on a mailing list. There's also vouchers for a free 3m roll of Xmas wrapping paper and a free bag of liquorice allsorts so off there at the weekend, park my car for free, do some Xmas shopping and pick up freebie Waitrose items on way back

Redeemed £7.72 from TCB

swapped clubcard vouchers for rewards and will use pizza express vouchers when eating out next week

Not so good...

Having a "use up" week of food, so been making use of tins of stuff...
Have lowered our tins from own brand to economy, as yet no real difference...
Charged my phone and laptop this week to save me doing it at home!
Installed British Gas app to my phone to help me monitor my gas and electricity usage, easier than on a laptop (or so I think in my utopian world)

3 small things, nothing major.

Today I did my food shop online and saved £20 by only buying 'necessary' food items as I am going to be using up what I already have stored in the freezer and cupboards.

• Transferred £100 to Halifax for my very first overpayment :D:D
• Freebie box of cereal worth £2 delivered to my house
• £5 Halifax reward
• Walked to the shop which meant only buying what I could carry back
• DD2's trick or treat haul means I don't have to buy any goodies for a while

mirry, I hadn't thought to work out how much it would be over the year ~ funny how £876 a year sounds so much better than £73 a month!!
