    Thanks for all the support everyone!

    Another good weekend for money saving...completed my weekly shop for £60.43 (a record!) which meant that I came in just under budget for the month...5 week month this month though so will need to increase the budget...

    Also managed to completely clear the shed and garage ready to car boot next Sunday..and have placed a load more stuff on eBay.

    Just my wardrobe and the loft to go to clear ahead of the car boot extravaganza!

    I'll keep ploughing on!!

    Well done on coming under budget with the grocery shop. It's a lovely feeling :) This month is going to be a long one though - I can feel the pinch already!

    Thanks k! Yes I'm already worrying as I've car insurance MIT service and tax this month...argh! But have squirreled away extra this month so it should cover it!

    In between working from home today have finished my wardrobe...plan to start on the loft tonight and do a little bit every night...

    Any idea where I can pick up a cheap pasting table for the car boot on Sunday anyone????!!!

    OMG am sooo tired...have emptied the loft and started boxing up items based on ages so for example...3-6 months, 6-9 months....but there's soooo much stuff..i think we'll need two pitches at this rate!!!

    Not sure how to price things..was thinking 3 for £1?

    Any one had any luck at a car boot recently?

    Just DDs bookcase left to clear before the big car boot sale on Sunday along with some more clothes sorting into boxes...

    Am well impressed with how thereputic it is not only to get rid of your old stuff but also to get paid for it!!

    Although I have to say I've shed a few tears over some of the little ones outfits especially knowing I'm not having any more and DD2 starts school in September ..it's actually quite emotional!

    eBay sales are up to £50 and good news from work...an extra £130 ish in my pay as a recognition bonus ...plus at the mo I have £86 left over in my account with payday arriving very soon...and am feeling really confident about car boot ...a friend made over £350 when she did one a few months back!

    £2000 cleared here I come!!!!!!!!

    Wood Woop Woop Woop!!!!!
