  • Today I bought a jumper form a charity shop for £3 using money from my penny piggy bank.
    We had leftover soup for dinner and tea.
    I froze up more soup for lunches at work.

    Today I've done spreadsheets showing the ebay items, deducting listing fees, sompleting fees, paypal fees and postage costs to see actual profit. Also have put in whole bag of baking potatoes (out of bag obviously!!) in oven to eat one and freeze the rest so only have to have the oven on once for it all and dinners are easy for a few weeks!
    Listed more on ebay - including more vouchers I wouldn't use for nectar.

    Actually - thanks for this thread, it's made me feel like I've achieved good things today!
