    Hi all, £1238.29/£620.00 for me atm, deposited £20 last night and won £500 on the bonus round so that has taken me well over my target, have lots of watchers on 3bay and some have bids on which I am pleased about... have 48 items on 3bay atm so hopefully it will be a busy and exciting weekend for me and the O.H.

    We have saved loads on gas and electric by switching items off. Not using the drier and just using the kettle for washing up, the o.h has been off work for 3 weeks with a broken thumb thats why my food bill has been so high :( usualy my mum goes to ALDI for me and sticks to a list but with my o.h and 2 sons they have just been putting alsorts in the trolley spending over £80 :o compared to my usual £35 ouch, but mum went today and shall be going next week so hopefully should ony be around £270/£300 so that £30 can go in my savings :p

    Busy here - and have updated my signature.
    tesco petrol coupons, conditional spends, coupons, and a £15 shoppers discounts payment
    Plus a completely unexpected tax refund....
    all boosts my total by 246.12

    So I have beaten the target. (but in a cheating way) - so I'm going to try for 310 this month.

    Good to see everyone else's success and ideas - and pure determination!
    arghhh!!!

    Yay for free listing weekends!

    I set up a few last night, currently scheduled for next weekend, but will revise to list immediately either tomorrow night or monday night. Gonna aim to get 100 things on this weekend + a few 99p items.

    This morning a lovely family came and relieved me of £55 worth of baby and household goods so Ive exceeded target with another 6 days to go and Im feeling awesome.
