  • I am declaring £390 which takes me well and truly over target this month! Though I was lucky as had old iPhone and some gig tickets to sell. Next month could be harder I think :-S Though hopefully I will do better on the NSDs!

    Congrats to everyone for doing so well this month - January is always a kicker!

    Hi everyone.
    Just giving my total for the month £179.00.
    I've reached target! That's me done for the month- will try my best next month.
    But 4 week old DD seems to be suffering from 'colic' so it's stressful trying to settle her all afternoon to evening! But I know it gets better!!

    Nat thanks for the link for amazon toilet rolls just now - ordered 1 lot - free! Thanks to SB vouchers!


    As someone else said tummy rubs and a deep warm bath helps, my little one of 2 1/2 weeks has colic and i found infacol works wonders to, don't need the matchsticks as much now as managing 2-3 hours sleep a time now :j
    Make £0/£100 Feb 2016 (Late starter)

    New Year resolution get bum into gear and get debt free :cool:

    Agree with everyone else's advice but also, have you tried the 'colic massage routine'? I learnt it at baby massage class but imagine its on the internet too. It really helped my little ones.

    Declaring today at a rather marvellous £2590.12/£310:j which cheers my mood slightly after spending 2 hours trying to get through to the right complaints department at Santander and still not getting anywhere :mad::mad::mad: No wonder they are notorious for their bad customer service!
    Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
    Best win so far - holiday to Florida
  • Another £10 to add for me today, got a voucher through from the study group I'm part of.
    You have to start to finish.

    Declaring at £287.02 for this month. The last £22.98 evaded me despite my best efforts!! Still fairly pleased considering that it is January. Unfortunately, "nil" will be paid into my savings account as the money paid the amount owed on my tax return.

    Money has come from business ebay sales (which have been dismal this month!), private ebay sales, selling old gold, quidco cashback and money saved bringing lunch into work.

    Well done to everyone else - there are some really great targets being achieved (you clever lot you!).

    So, that's me over and out for the Jan 2012 thread and hopping over to the nice new shiny Feb 2012 thread. I started this for the first time in Nov 2011 and it seems that I am now ADDICTED! :rotfl:

    I am declaring £920-12 for January, very pleased woith that, although it had an unexpected boost by the free bets I won, so I think next month is going to be harder.

    Well done everyone, who has made target or not, because any extra is better than nothing! And good luck to all for February :)

    I'm declaring as well. Didn't do to bad in the end after a very slooow start.
    £232.34.
    Some of this was a refund for the rent that I had overpaid and a Christmas present in the form of a cheque. Both now in the "new bathroom fund".
    Going to be a bit harder next month,unless someone decides to give me some money:p.
    Lots to [EMAIL="e-b@y"]e-b*y[/EMAIL] and [EMAIL="Am@zon"]Am*zon[/EMAIL] so WILL get organised.
