    Hello All
    Just popped on to add my little bit. Did a handful of listings at the end of last week, all 99p starters and 3 sold for a grand total of £26.47 (minus p&p etc)
    Gobsmacked at what people buy/pay for stuff, previous to me signing up on this forum I would have chucked those items in the bin!

    So that makes this month's total so far £41.92 eek better get a wriggle on if I want to actually reach my target!
    Do savings count? I've just organised a loan agreement at my stables for a horse so instead of £10 every time I go I just pay £25 a week and go whenever I want, however much i want! It works out a lot better for me as I go riding 3-4 times a week.

    It's each person's personal challenge, so entirely up to you whether you want to count those savings. If that's what you have been doing then does that mean you have been affording to pay the higher cost, (£30-£40 per week)? If so, then each time you go riding 3 or more times a week, put the extra (so £5 for the third time, and £10 for the fourth time and any more each) into either paying off a debt, or savings account - whatever it is that you are working towards. That way you may not notice that money each week going out as you have been spending it anyway, but you will notice it building up in savings or reducing debts.
    Or if you've made the new arrangements because you couldn't afford to pay the extra, then ignore my rambling above :p

    Had to use my Tesco Club card vouchers on petrol today, i did look into doubling them up to get the most out of them but there wasn't really anything i needed, but i did need petrol! :)

    So £20 added for that...and a smacked hand for losing my 5p off a litre coupon :mad:

    £165 for students and £102.28 for telesales....

    ....and a £25 parking ticket :(

    Oops. At least you'd made the extra to pay for it. :o

    £15 cleaning money to add. Bit gutted as she paid me by cheque as she's short of cash. That now leaves me short of cash though as I normally use my cleaning money for bus fare, DD's ballet class etc but now I've got to put it in the bank which means I'll be tempted to pay it off the c/c.

    Total so far £60/£155 :( not going to make it again I think

    2x 5p's off the bathroom floor and 10p from the lounge. Honestly, OH trails money as he goes so I'm just picking it up and putting it in the pot :)

    Nothing much to add but only because I'm waiting on invoices to be paid... watch this space.

    After a slow start with pynekone payments - I received my first divorce settlement instalment from my ex husband...I dare not include it in my May challenge as it is a shamefully high amount:eek:

    It is a number with 3 noughts after it and no decimal point:cool:

    Oh you should definitely add it...then take your new partner on holiday :D noted its the FIRST installment ;)

    £2 for food survey in vouchers. Not making much money lately but have lots of freebies, a whole months cat food supply, moisturisers in full size bottles, toothpaste, and even toddler clothes! Yay! My neighbour is clearing out her 4yr olds room, she's giving my daughter a massive collection of peppa pig stuff and masses of clothes, I'm not complaining! :rotfl:
