"2012 Make £10 a day challenge January ~ everybody most welcome to join in :)"

£3.82 interest to add. It's a start I suppose!

I have £9 to add from ebay sales, more things ending later and in a few days time. A while ago I agreed to give a friend £1 per item for her girls clothes and anything I made over that I could keep (it's the loan from friend in my signature) so all the money goes towards that at the moment. I also bought 2 bin bags full of next baby girl clothes advertised on a local face book group for £30 the other day which I think I can make money on hopefully!

Great day for me today I had a loan from my Credit Union to help pay for xmas last year (:o), I just paid it off by standing order each week, never actually going in, or checking the account. Gave them a ring last week as I've been checking all of my old accounts, and I'd apparently overpaid my loan so had £98.10 sat in the account :j:j:j Collected today and cashed at the post office. Never had any joy with things like this before so I'm very happy at the moment

Thats great news! :beer:

what a horrific day. I went upstairs to put some clothes away and came down 10mins later to an open front door...and no sign of my 2yr old daughter. I have never run so fast in my life, up and down roads near my house. I was looking for 10mins before I ran home to get the car then searched for another 5 in the car. I soon realised I wouldnt find her on my own and without a soul around, I rang the police. I drove back home like a mad woman and just as i abandoned the car a lady came bounding towards me; 'Are you looking for a little girl?' I couldnt thank her enough! The police arrived as we ran back to her house 4 streets away and the copper was really happy, he said the chopper was just about to take off to help us search! The lady said she found her sat in a puddle crying in her garden. I cant tell you how relieved I was to see her, she came bounding towards me for a cuddle. This was at 1.30 and Im still a nervous wreck now! I kept the front door locked all day and only unlocked it to take a parcel...and then forgot to lock it again. And breathe!

Funny enough, not a penny made today!

Nat a similar thing happened to me a couple of years back. I then went through a stage of keeping doors locked at all times. Please realise this is not your fault. Thats kids for you. Big hugs for you tonight hun xxx

Nat that must have been such a scare. So glad it all worked out OK.

Well money to report... Am still off work for Christmas, so spent the afternoon in town posting ebay items and paying off a chunk of my loan with tax refund money :j. I waited for a train instead of taking the bus £1 saved, got a sandwich from morrisions rather than an M&S lunch (which is what I normally do when in town) call it £3 saved. From ebaying the 2 items I've already been paid for and posted minus postage and fees £1.46 & £0.98.

So that's £6.44 to add to my total:D

I'm looking at my HUGE box of stuff in the bedroom of stuff to list on ebay... And i am SOOOO bored of listing clothes!

Someone give me a kick up the a*se please

There must be something in this house more interesting thats not nailed down that i can sell....

Hi all

Nearly forgot to update:

£37 p/t wages received :T

i did really well with my weekly shop today - i managed to avoid *nearly* all the offers :whistle: sticking pretty much to my list but couldn't resist the pasta on offer - hope to stock up next week too So overspent by less than £1 :T:T:T Which is brilliant as i'm on a strict food shopping budget for the next 3 months (self-imposed) the savings i'm making i'm not counting on here as i seem to only count extra income generated for this challenge rather than the money i've not spent. Anyways i am very proud of my little self for making a list and not just piling all the offers into my trolley *pats self on back*

In fairness my freezer is chocca, loads of stuff in the fridge and so many tins / dried goods that they won't fit in all the cupboards - so we won't be going hungry but i'm trying to use the things i've bought for us to use first - just to save a bit of money at the mo.

Evening All, I just posted off 2 old ink cartridges... they should send me a £4ish cheque. Better then throwing them away! Won't count the money until I get the cheque though. But they sent the envelopes so all free postage! lol...:D
