    I took some stuff back my MIL had bought DD that didn't fit - and used credit note to buy food for MIL and her friend's visit! Poetic justice I thought! I have spent other money on clothes for DD this week so don't feel guilty. So that is £22.99 in the kitty for this month's challenge!

    Some great starts everyone! :j

    I have a feeling this is going to be a great month for money making as not only are we celebrating the challenge's birthday, but October is about the time that people start thinking about Xmas :santa2: (I know I am!) so we've got that extra motivation to keep us going :D

    I didn't think I'd be able to add anything until mid week but I just checked my account to find that a £10 refund cleared yesterday :D I bought a gift for £30 last week only to find that it was reduced to £20 three days later :mad: Luckily I hadn't given it to them by that point so I took it in for a refund and bought it again at the new price.
  • slow start but £2 off my shopping yesterday using vouchers :)
    Ok new year and a baby on the way I need to sort out my finances!

    Just adding 15p (:D) from a multibuy, would have bought one anyway but went halves with my mum so we got the discount.

    Bf bought a takeaway and I pocketed the change, £4.50 :D
    Also got 5p interest! Shows how tight I've become that I noticed an extra 5p in my account.
    I have an ebay sale but it's a huge heavy book and I think I may have undercharged postage, so I'll figure it out after it's been posted.
