Very quiet!!!!!!!!

No more for me for time being, made a big boo with ebay sales by getting postage wrong so actually ended up spending 40p more oops! Not sure will bother selling things for less than a pound again, more hassle then it's worth!
Have made a career changing decision this week - had applied for a saturday job teaching music, had the interview and got it! So have now asked to reduce days down at school to part time. Am hoping to then solely concentrate on music teaching and building up piano pupils. Hopefully this will be from Easter so hoping to save 50% by then, then I will still have 18 months to save 1250.
Really excited and feeling so much less stressed and happy again

I just made some bread in my breadmaker for the first time ever and it actually tastes nice!!! Going to be experimenting with more bread in the next few weeks but not sure whether or not it will save s money as I buy really cheap bread atm. Might mean we can eat nice bread for the same price though.....

A sneaky little 0.5% for me - to take me up to 41% made and paid

It's not been the cheapeast weekend for me unfortunately - friend's 30th on Friday, then journey up North for a wedding reception, and hotel room as too far to drive home after. All in all pretty expensive - neither of us drank though so saved on booze and taxi fares

Had some pretty good yellow sticker purchases today - brocolli and pizza reduced earlier (had popped in for cheap breaksfast before drive home), then when I did the main shop this afternoon got 5 packs of mushrooms for 10p each and 2 675g packs of mince for 50p each (I did pick up a third, but got chatting to a lady in the queue who sounded like she was really struggling to make their food budget stretch, and was going to send her husband off for mince after seeing mine, so I said I'd got the last ones, but she could have one of my three!) I normally put the saving on yellow-sticker stuff into my percent pot, but food budget is so tight at the moment I need it left in the food purse so we can eat the rest of the month!!!!

Boo to Sundays, back to work tomorrow

Sold 1 thing on ebay for 99p this week they havent paid yet. relisted 11 items. Played around with free postage and upped the start bid to compensate. See if this increases sales.

Good news is any paypal i have made on FB selling has paid for my daughters birthday presents. £33 to go and its all paid for without touching the bank account Feeling pretty good about that! Im also ordering a new sling to carry Evelyn (its my weak spot but i only buy them by selling others or paypal funds, tis my only luxury)

I have been selling on eBay and i am currently up to 2% from there!

Looking after the pennys so the pounds look after themselves my coin jar at home has also given me 1%!

so if you could put member 94 at 3% please small steps but I'm getting there!

Hi all,

Well I'm still stuck at 0% - my third target may be harder to reach than the other two me thinks

However I have had a NSD today (and my little girl has got through to the county finals schools athletics competition today) so a good day all round :j

Hi Happytails, sorry to hear about the car. Do you know what the error codes are? I do work for car manufacturers, and if I know the error codes I could tell you what is most likely to need replacing as the codes are standard across all manufacturers. Might give you an idea of cost.

Hi rushy, p0170 and p1550 the book says fuel trim malfunction and something to do with throttle control reduced power?

Any help appreciated thank you!
