This is my first month of this challenge and I haven't done very well so far. I joined up to the 'no unnecessary toiletries' thread at the same time but I'm doing really well at that and feel I am making progress there.

I've got several things on ebay - 1 is selling - that will finish on Monday, so fingers crossed. Also, I went to Tesco the other day and OH needed batteries. Normally I would have just bought them, but they were £4 so I didn't, instead had a look on ebay and ordered them for 99p delivered. OH was fine about waiting (well he had no choice!). Can I add the £3.01 to my total? My daughter also needs a new watch battery - normally I pay £10 in town, but I've just watched a youtube clip and taken out the old one, and again ordered a new one from ebay for 99p (exact same battery). Hopefully when it arrives I'll be able to put it in correctly and have saved myself £9.01 (fingers crossed!).

Good luck to everyone else and thanks for the inspiration. Hoping that by the end of the month I will have caught up. :-)

Hiya,

The general rule of thumb with "savings made", is that if you put the money you saved from something towards a debt / mortgage payment (or towards something you're saving up to buy, as some have done before) - then yes count it.

Hope that helps, and don't worry too much about the slow start - we've all had them and depending on what you do to make extra, it usually catches itself up during the month. But even if you don't reach your target .. remember any extra you've made, is money you wouldn't have had before so it's still a positive outcome

Ive worked out that this month I will be earning at least £74 from just doing over time. Tonight after I come home from work and do my coursework I will be adding some gigs to my fivesquids account.

can you get away with listing stuff on gumtree/fb? will they not notice and you can do that?

actually how lovely that they still believe in Sunday being a day of rest and sacred. My manager at work feels very strongly about that too.
