    I'll join up for £5 a day. I'm going away for half of August so it might be difficult, but I'll give it a go...

    Hi everyone :hello:

    I've got face on cos went to bed last night feeling crap so ended up not doing a car boot this morning :-( disappointed cos I've sorted all the stuff out this wk so now got boxes all over house. Still feel naff but not as bad, so thinking I mite try ebaying sum of the stuff later on.

    Got £58.50 stashed so far, saving up cos we're going to see the in laws mid Aug and will be going out and about so need some spendo's, dear do going to the coast and that isn't it. Yes I know it's not August yet but I'm starting early cos I feel sorry for myself for missing out on car boot. :o

    Good luck all, enjoy rest of your weekend xx

    I've only made £112 in July (mainly eBay and 2 Quidco payments), and didn't reach my £310 target.
    The money will go towards mortgage overpayments.

    My target for August will be £5 per day which will be £155 for the month.
    I've got a less busy month ahead (at work), so I can devote a little more time to moneysaving opportunities.

    Good luck everyone.

    Off already - converted £10 tesco vouchers into EON £15 off bill (yeh!! - did owe £278 now owe them £76.80)

    Also saved £3.09 on shopping, but spent £40.44 out of £50 budget till the 20th (ooops) but doesnt really count as hubby paid, but counting both cost and saving as mine as will discourage me to spend more on shopping!!

    Cleared out a lot of clothes (almost all) as I now to big to wear normal clothes, so car boot coming up!!

    Saved a fortune on maternity clothes thou, bought some of ebay last month for grand total of £39 for 8 pairs of trousers, rest has come from sister who has just had her last baby, so lots of savings to be made as when her baby grows out of clothes, bouncers, etc I'm getting them!!! Freebies!!! So all i need to buy is pram/car seat which mum & dad paying for and cot!!

    Timing is essential in all money saving, especially with a very generous big sister!!:T
    Make £0/£100 Feb 2016 (Late starter)

    New Year resolution get bum into gear and get debt free :cool:

    Hey Everyone,

    Well I'm not overly optimistic about Aug as I've just booked another holiday (only a little one!) so will be away for 5 days of the month. I'll also be struggling for time as I have an essay due mid month and two kids to entertain so all of my spare time will go on that rather than ebaying, surveys, etc.

    Looking on the positive side, we've got lots of days out planned so will try and find some great money off vouchers to use. I've got £5 due from a phone contract cashback deal, and some survey sites are getting close to payout.

    Good luck everyone! :)

    4 little 99p things sold on Ebay this eve, but as they won't be posted till tomorrow so i can't work out the actual profit, the money will be added to start off August.
    Have tried to make the most of Free listing weekend as well and have 63 items listed now, although most of those are re lists to be honest!!
    Hopefully will sell a fair old chunk of them next week.
    Half of November Make £10 a Day Challenge: £51/ £170

    Got a number of items listed on eBay, a few of which have bids. I'm also *so* close to getting a payout from Ipsos and Toluna - so I might have something to report later this week...
