Hello Slowlyfading can you add me please?
My target is £3000. It will be a challenge but I'll give it my best.
Tomorrow I will list on fleabay but today I found £17 after scouring the house (yay) so that went into my instant savings account. I'm also trying to save £200 a month into an ISA.
Onwards and upwards-I've also started a savings diary on the 'how much have you saved' board, which I shall update regularly, so drop by to see how I'm getting on

Hi all,

I was able to upgrade my phone today and I was going to update to a new phone but discovered if I keep my current handset I can get £100 cashback!

Since I like my phone and I got a Kindle Fire for Xmas I have decided to get the cashback so I will get my phone bill free for about 10 months! I will track and update this on a monthly basis!

I wouldn't have chosen to buy one myself but I love it now I have one! It is like a mini iPad so I use it for social sites, online things like this forum, it is so much quicker than my laptop was!

Also got a few apps to help me with various tasks I used to do manually on paper so it is perfect for me! :T

I got mine using cashback so didn't pay any 'real' money for it, it is just a basic one so I only use it for reading but it depends how much you read as to how worth it it is. Can get books cheaper a lot of the time, and the free books change all the time.

The biggest bonus for me is portability of the kindle compared to books, especially if going on holiday, on the train etc.
