I finally got round to transferring the £200 I'd set aside as an extra loan payment from the money Dad gave me (only took me 2 weeks of proscrastinating to call). Just worked out over the life of the loan I save £54.47 in interest from this early payment . Part of me really wants to add this to this month's total , but it's not really money I earnt this month.

Good for you Nat, just goes to show it's always worth complaining!!
(You know you can use Tesco reward vouchers in PE - so if you ever wanted to go to your local one that is nice, OH could technically treat you again!!)

Im saving my vouchers for a new TV, the one I have now is Ex's and he's taking it soon. I have £82 towards it in tesco vouchers already

Ooh postman just delivered my Models Own nail polish! Not the nicest colour...im thinking ebay?! I'll get another one soon as I signed up using a different email address

Had Fab Bingo running in the background all morning and now have 30p in my account, debating now whether to do the sensible thing and withdraw it, or buy bingo tickets with it, decisions, decisions.....

Morning everyone! About to go and catch up on 2 days of posts that I have missed. Work so interferes with life!!

Just added £7.88 transferred to savings taken from our joint account as I used £7.88 worth of boots advantage points to may for toiletries in Boots. £9.60 added profit from 2 x ebay sales and £15 added profit from bingo winnings on Xbingo (which finally hit my account today after a week).

I have therefore hit target for the month :j . Target greatly assisted by £155 risk free bingo winnings.

Anyhow.........off to catch up..........!!

Hope everyone is doing well this morning and feeling good - i will get a wee catchup read later

Thanks for all the well dones etc re the mortgage it does feel really good i have to say and quite a milestone in some ways - When i became ill again and lost my job etc i really had no idea how i was going to cope......i then found MSE, this thread and all you guys and with some niffy tips under my belt i now feel like i am starting to come out the other side :D I still have a long way to go (over £20,000 of debts :eek:) but i just feel so different about my situation now I know there are some of you only starting the journey or having a particularly hard time at the minute and i just hope hearing this helps you even a little

Anyway, just popped in to say my fab account currently has £2.30 of free 10p's - i'm trying to be really good and save it but its tempting me to play :eek::eek: away to do my free bingos to see if i win on them instead :rotfl:

Have a good one all xxxxx

Just claimed £10 Amazon voucher from S&S. Almost at target now. Just hope I can make the rest somehow.

Hmm.... it's the 22nd and I'm not even half way to my target, don't think I'll be making it this month unless I get very lucky on the bingo or someone randomly decides to give me a present. I have about £40 of redemptions and so forth I'm expecting by the end of the month but that's all.

Hi all,

Nothing to add on money making - not made anything in ages. I've been putting off [EMAIL="eb@y"]eb@y[/EMAIL] listings, waiting for another free insertion days and I think that is making a difference

I was wondering if someone could tell me about this fabulous bingo thing? I've never done any of these as they all make me a little nervous but everyone seems to be doing so well off them and I could really do with something to help out as I'm doing so poorly this month.

I've been doing well on not spending - although today, I found that the pitta bread I brought to work for my lunch was actually mouldy, so had to buy a sandwich (cost more alone that my usual weekly lunch budget!) which was a pain. Oh well - I don't do it often I guess.

Also - got dentist tomorrow - more money down the pan. And I really am nervous as to how much money they will be demanding when they tell me how much all the potential work is going to cost. I really can't be affording all these things.

*Sigh* - this month is feeling a little deflating. Maybe March will be better?

Well done on the mortgage progress FC - that is excellent progress!! :T

Nat - you go girl!! Great refund and no way would any of us ever suggest handing it over!!!! Karma

Aesop - hope the doctor was able to offer something helpful. Sorry you are a having a rough month and hope you start to feel better soon.

CP - hope all goes well with the fayre. You are contributing some amazing stuff there.

DFW - Well done on making up the shortfall.

Nicky - It won't let you withdraw bonus money, but if you win with bonus money it converts to "real" money which you can withdraw (once wager requirements are met which is £30 if you deposited £10). I don't think there is a minimum withdrawal amount on there either (but not 100% on that)

FS - Thanks for the extra swag tips. Have not looked at some of the simple tasks before so will investigate.

Right......off to attack the ebay drawer!! :cool:
