    Got a few things lined up, i've filled a jam jar with euro coins, dollar coins and other things which i'm hopefully going to exchanged somewhere.

    Cancelled my gym membership(wasn't going) and downgraded my bank account to the free version, saving me about 45 quid a month.

    Got some books ready to go to Amazon, they're giving you a 15 quid voucher for 10 quids worth of books currently.

    Lots of ebay stuff on the go currently too, hoping to make around 200 from that.
  • Yay, had to renew car insurance which was pricey.. BUT decided to pay for it out of savings instead of monthly and then direct debit from current account, plus got £30 cashback from quidco.
    So looking forward to getting rid of pesky overdraft :-)

    £5 halifax reward for me, 10p roadkill and used a 2p off a litre at Mr M from a gift card bought for Christmas so saved £1 but fuel was already 2p a litre cheaper there than Mr T where I normally go so counting that as £3 saved! One of my ebay items has a bid too so I am happy :j

    Please could I join (Complete Newbie and first post) I would like to try £5 a day (How good would that be "finding" an extra £150 to clear debt .... well after I have used it to pay for the clubs upon return to school ;)

    Oh is there any advice on Swagbucks - I've signed up and have done some of the polls but never seem to get through the surveys (I spend 10 mins on them and then dont qualify) and I dont really get how to earn more bucks ?? Thank you :)

    Had a nice surprise when I got home from work. A cheque for £7.10 from an insurance that I cancelled in 2007, apparently they had underpaid me.
