£2012 in 2012

I know the feeling Clipperty, I'm going to have to use some of my savings at the end of the month to cover some bills, but I'm determined I'll replace them the following week which is bill free.

I'm also determined to get enough vouchers together to get my Kindle by end of April, ready for my holidays in June. I've got £15 from My Survey so far, and am almost ready to cash out another £10 from Swagbucks so not far to go. Need to up my game where I can on these 2 and figure out where else I can gain vouchers from.

I seriously need to get back on E-Bay too. Needs must!

£244.32 in total for March, so still nicely ahead of target with £893.99 in total - £800 of that has just winged its way into my ISA before the end of the tax year, which is £800 I wouldn't have had without this challenge as motivation.

Need to do some ebay and Amazon next month, I have good intentions but haven't got around to it yet...

mennie - will PM totals.

I fell off the wagon! It was the ridiculously hot sun!

First I forgot the clocks had gone forward so ended up with expensive lunches from the garage, as we were late for everything lol, with no vouchers and paying over the odds aargh! . Then the sun seemed to involve more wine :beer:than a normal week, which led to more chocolate and ice creams:p, which led to doing the weekly shopping whilst tired and hungry :eek: which led to not trying the beautiful skirt on in the charity shop, so not realising it had been labelled size 16 but was actually size 6:o Which all led to being late out of bed on the last day of term so DD missed the school bus, and i had one and half hours drive to take her to school, and then having to fill up at the most expensive petrol station, as its the only one with petrol left:mad:

and so.. humbled and chastened, it is time to take myself in hand, do a stock take and get back on my moneysaving horse. THis is my challenge for next week

I should not laugh Bess, but you certainly put a smile on my face for Friday, if you are going to do it, you got to do it in style :cool: brush yourself off and start again, sure it will not be hard :T

Well done that is fantastic :T

Wow, sounds like some of you are doing fantastically!

I'm working until 10pm the next couple of nights, but I have managed to get a couple of surveys done through Swagbucks on my lunch. I'm going to get some books on e-bay tonight - it's a MUST DO!

I've unfortunately had to dig into my savings as a sub towards the mortgage for this months payment. My outgoings have been higher with all the back and to visiting my Nan in hospital, so I was a little short. I will replace it, but the good news is that before starting this challenge I didn't have savings so even though I'm behind its a bonus for me as financially I'm in a better position!

Does anyone know of any other avenues to sell books, other than EBay and Amazon ?

How's everyone else getting on ?
