~The Final MAKE £10 A DAY in December Challenge for 2011 ~ Everybody Welcome

BlueCow1975

Just checking in to say hello and hope that everyone had a lovely Christmas!

I am confessing in full that I have not done great this month, mainly because I have been putting minimal effort in (tut tut!). That said, I have been productive in other places and had a huge pre Christmas sort out of toys and general clutter which has a very therapeutic cleansing affect. I have even washed paintwork, skirting boards, cleaned under furniture - the full works. DH very concerned about "nesting" behaviour but I assured him I am NOT pregnant! :eek:

I have really missed not checking in daily as everyone keeps me motivated. Will be back with a vengance for January!! Like the idea of spreadsheets to track progress & keep motivation going. Also - (really pleased with this one) I have not bought a single thing in the sales (so far!) as I do not need anything. :T How good is that??? :rotfl:

Lol - well done to you too as I have just read your post and we are in the same camp. It really is a lovely feeling! :T

Instead of thinking I have to have the "bargain" I am starting to visualise the actual money in my account and it makes me really think about what I "need". I even got a VIP invite to the next online sale, but I did not register to avoid temptation. I am starting to scare myself!! :rotfl:

Aesop

:beer: BlueCow and CP for being so strong and resisting.

well done everyone who has avoided the sales! I haven't spent anything so far but mainly as I havent seen anything - NEXT and M&S today were rubbish, either all the goodies are gone or the sales just aren't up to much this year! I am planning on getting 10 rolls of wrapping paper from card factory tomorrow though but that is a very good deal! I would like to get some more xmas decs and tinsel for next year but the shops seem sold out already - nevermind!

Well, was just letting you know you've not missed out on anything!

Good Morning Money makers!!
Long time , no post

Sorry i have abandoned the challenge over the last few months, but with the new year around the corner i am jumping back on the wagon :T

Although ive not been on the site for a while, ive been sticking with the challenge and making extra monies

Did anyone else get double vouchers from the Spud shillings?? i cashed out £30 and got 2 separate lots of vouchers, so £60 worth :beer:

Everything with me is pretty much the same, although i am 2 stone lighter since i last posted :j
Hope this post finds you all well, ive got some catching up to do, so will try to keep up from here on in! Looking forward to the Jan 2012 challenge.

Wow well done misskaytee! I'm probably 2 stone heavier than I was when I last posted (which was just yesterday!!). Damn you sweet mince pies & Xmas chocolates!

£2 to add from me today for forgetting to put the lottery on yesterday.

Pinecone must be accepting new people again at the moment. Not sure what survey invitation it was that got me to the sign up page as I've had about 3 or 4 on the go all morning, but one of them when I clicked back onto it, it was on the sign up page!
So OH is now conveniently signed up, at last!!

So glad his parents don't mind still getting post for him at their house even though he moved out years ago! I think because it's just vouchers they don't mind!
