Second Purse Challenge 2012

Can I join in please? I think I'm getting my head around the second purse, and I have a cupboard with previous special offers which I need to go through so I can get my second purse starting total right. I've spent £39.96 from the second purse so far this month, which wasn't BOGOFs, but when I pay it back the purse will have £51.16, which I think is ok for a learner!

I was a bit confused about where the money to pay the second purse comes from (maths was never my strong point!:o:o), but reading through here it is beginning to make sense! If I use GC money to pay the 2nd purse, then gradually my GC money gets transferred over to the 2nd, and then eventually the 3rd purse! I think! :rotfl:

I'd like to do what Mothership has done with her 3rd purse, and put it in an ISA ... but that's probably a few years off yet. We're having to sell our beloved classic VW campervan, so I'll be starting to save up for another one with the 3rd purse! Even though that's a VERY long term goal!:)

Take care all

I want to place my first DR order. I'm going thru' Quidco but do I need a code or to refer somebody so they get a free gift.

Help please!!!

Lots of purse balancing happening here! :j

The result is SP has £40 (including £10 for May) and 3P has £72.50 which is fantastic because it was only a week ago I spent £50 out of it :T

Made a special trip to Mr A today as wanted to get bits in their baby event but also got a few things for MM's...

4 x 0rigin@l source shower gel £1 buy back at £2.20
2 x P€rsil small and mighty £3.50 buy back at £6.40
8 x Br@nston beans £0.25 buy back at £0.50
2 x N@p0lina extra v1rgin olive oil £2.50 buy back at £4.50

Got a few baby wipes and nappies which I didn't buy from SP but I'm tempted to put them in the stock cupboard and put 50p into SP when I need pack of wipes. That means when baby arrives I can build up a bit more of an SP balance to buy baby offers. Does that make sense?! Or is that cheating as I didn't use SP to buy them? Other mums what do you think?

Hope everyone has a good bank holiday weekend :T

Ooo coxy, your first DR order, its such an exciting moment . Whoever was the last to be referred needs to refer you so they get a free gift and I have a 20% off and free del code you can use when you order if you want cant use it on the burgers or the steak selection (you can still pop them on your order but it wont take the 20% off )

I do that all the time, but there is no right or wrong way to do SP'ing - it is your shop, your rules. So go for it and you will soon be well on your way to money going into your 3P

Hi Coxy, I think I am the next on the list for referrals (sorry for the late reply). If you pm me your full name, address and e-mail address and I will refer you straight away. Then DR send you an e-mail if I remember right so you can place an order.

Thanks
