Feel free to join, i'll give you a number.

Also, feel free to post your tips about making/saving money &
what you've done today to save or make money. All kinds of help is needed :)

    Hey I'm up for this :-) I'm already trying to save a bit so it would be nice to keep track of it on here. Last week I made £70 on ebay from selling old clothes. I have a few more things that I need to sell, I recovered a beautiful pink dolls house from a skip and think I can get about £50 for it. Would welcome any other ideas to save and make money :-)

    You're added to the list,
    You're number 2 :)

    to save me spending alot on make-up,
    I cut the tubes in half.There is still tons of make up in the tubes,
    but it just doesn't come out sometimes. I also buys make up from a pound store or a savers store.

    Hiya, please can I join? I'm not working at the moment, but hopefully that will change sooner rather than later!

    I'm making/saving money at the moment by selling things I don't need anymore via local selling groups on Facebook and ebay, online survey sites, and making my things go further/trying not to buy anything new that I don't need! Hoping to do a few car boots soon too!
    :)

    Sounds exactly like me!! I still live at home and my mum is always moaning about me not doing things etc...so I feel your pain! No need to be sorry :)

    I am also saving to move out.."trying" to save for a deposit of some kind!

    I was going to buy a magazine today (my weakness is buying too many!) as I had a voucher to get one for £1...but I was good and didn't buy it as I don't need it! Every little helps!
