Hey all, ticking along here... have done extra well today and made some unmentionable money so am well up on £100 a week - like the challenge Elly!

2 of my 53 items have bids on them... I have no faith in it improving!

However I managed to save 320 a month on Virgin and get £100 cashback today so I am pleased!!! Unfortunately my OH pays it so no savings for me, but saivngs for us

thanks surfer for the heads up,doing well welsh girl .well oh has been dragging me round looking at cars
his personal allowance is eaten up by his works car and due changed in nov so probably save £1000 on that and my new job if i get it still not confirmed mainly motorway will not suit my old wrech which we might get £700 for . We are looking at a car that will cost us £225 a month half my new wages which will make the mse in me cry but hubby is away a lot so if my car doesnt start im stuck .
do you sometimes feel it comes in with one hand and out with the other .

Welshgirl 78 – well done on not smoking!

Tryinghard – boo for garage bills, and boo for bullies! Sorry to hear that you are having a carp timeof it! Bullies make me really angry tbh grrrrrr. Hope something new comes up soon.

Elly – well done on the job, just glad that little extra iscoming : )

As for me last month was a real in and out month, lotscoming in and lots of outgoings. Had tocollect my mother from the airport, a really expensive trip that cost me£70!!!!!! (one way!!!!!) And had lots of household bits and pieces, plus nights and meals outthat I could not get out of L
So this month is a real belt tighten, no eating out albeitcheaply. Other than that just focused ondoing a lot of marketing for the business over the next few weeks. It is reaching a tipping point, but the thingabout marketing is that it never stops you can’t take your foot off thepeddle! So, just trying to work outanother online marketing strategy and raising my profile as much as possible, it’sgetting there; but at times it can be difficult! Made a bit of overtime money but now hittingthe Catch22 could do more if I worked less at the day job, but I need the dayjob to do the side job! Gah!

I also have a villerequest!

Good Morning Everyone

Have been awol for a while. Sorry.

Lots going on, OH had pneumonia so not much done. Also I've had a sore back for a while although it's starting to ease off a bit now.

Anyway April is picking up a bit. Sold OH's old mobility scooter, plus another few bits and pieces. £350 to the pot this week.

Like many of you though I don't seem to be saving much - money seems to be going out as fast as it's coming in. It's just the way sometimes.

I've gone back to keeping a spending diary and trying to cut back on the housekeeping bills.

Today will do some more decluttering - see what else I can find to sell.

Hope you are all well. Since a hosepipe ban has been in place it has done nothing but rain :rotfl:
I have been wanting to do a carboot for weeks but they keep being cancelled

Well car is going back into the garage tomorrow so I am not getting anywhere with the challenge, whatever I save goes straight out again. Work is no better but I have an interview on Friday so fingers crossed.
