    Won't be able to claim homemade wine savings for at least several weeks as we've used up the last of the wine that was ready and the new stuff, which I started making in July, isn't ready yet.

    I actually had to stop making wine a couple of weeks ago when I realised that I had 11 gallons on the brew, and was running out of demijohns!

    Have four gallons of cider started, goal is to make 12 total; I think I will count homemade cider savings once it is ready to drink.

  • I haven't updated in the last week or so, need to add £20 from my Mum for doing some jobs for her, £2 from forgetting to put the lottery on AGAIN!!!!!!!:eek: & £41.47 profit from eBay sales so I can declare a grand total of £488.53/£450!!!!!!!:j

    So pleased with this. It was my first month of the challenge & I'm so pleased I found this thread. Can't wait to get my teeth into October!

    Good luck everyone Xx

  • Yesterday £69 quid dropped into my account from ms work, so declaring £185 last month, with no help from ebay, it will certainly be a challenge for me to reach my goal next month, but im looking forward to it.

  • I was in my local morrisons today and the beer was on 2x12 bottles for £15 however the two boxes I picked up said £10.

    When the girl at the checkout questioned it I said you have to sell it to me at that price as it is the price displaid. I had to explain to her manager for a bit until he gave up.

    does that count?
