£847.32 extra OP today. This is most of our wedding gift money. We will at some point have a holiday which this is supposed to pay for. But haven't decided where or when so might as well use it to OP now and use a future planned OP to pay for a holiday when we get round to it ;-) Now after watching a family on Superscrimpers who wasted £50 per week on food I must write a list for tomorrow's grocery shop and I must stick to it for once!!!

Just caught up - sorry to those of you who have lost someone January is a horrible month.

Spag Bol being a freelancer I do sympathise with your bloke. I have to pay my tax by Jan on top of which i have to pay my accountant £500 if it's any consolation if you work out what your DH would have paid in tax doing a regular job it would probably have been heaps more.
I'm ignoring the additional tax and gas bill debts from these calculations as I would have had to pay them whatever. And with no fixed income or regular pay days. I am using money I wouldn't normally have had - through selling things - wins - collecting change etc to pay of these debts. Is anyone else doing it that way?

Can you put up a link to the website pleasE? Sounds v interesting but I can't find it

Join the forum similar to this and farmers will advertise when they have meat available or just post want to buy half a pig - you want it fresh not frozen / cut up and a price for delivery and it will save you loads. We have half a welsh black faced lamb and half a pig + free range chickens and some beef. It fits into our cheap top loading freezer about the size of a fridge. x

Anyway paying another £106 off so now
Number 113 £-340 /6373

Wow just reading how much people have been paying is very inspiring, wonder how it compares with January last years total

Spiggle

Hi all,

A good question elantan, in January 2012 the total OPd was £138,968 and was the highest single month total throughout the year by some margin.

I had another update come through in the last few days and the 2012 challenge is just £1544 off the £million so I'm hoping we'll still get a few late reporters to get us to that magic number.

All the best,
Spigs
