Many congrats RuthieJane that is fab news

Still waiting on an ebay payment - grrrrr . will update when I receive it (hopefully Tues)

webitha

is anyone else spending their money or are thery saving it

i find that my O/C money has to be spent ie guttering/ swimming lessons etc but without this cjhallenge i would not have the money to improve the house

i try to save then once i have the money to pay for something outright i use that i dont pay it off my debts as im down to £4k interest free (god bless family)

so fellow challengers are you saving or spending if so on what? (coz i is a nosey moo)

didn't realise there was a new thread!

Hi all, just sitting here going green with all the progress everyone is making....

I haven't sat down and worked out my total for ages so I shall attempt to do that now.

£20 from myshoppingrewards, cheque landed in my account on Friday
£10 from pigsback (paid for my OH's birthday present yesterday)
£5 amazon voucher from Valued Opinions that I'd forgotten about
£10 voucher from Test and Vote that will pay for the next birthday present.
£50.75 from selling various things on eBay this month
£175.32 from second job (got some more hours this month)

Total for May to add £271.07 :j

webitha, I am also spending mine, and I'm very happy about it since it means that I can put more of my regular income towards my DMP and hopefully get that DFD down even more!

Another £10.12 on ebay. Dragged another 4 or 5 things from the (still overly full) wardrobe so am hoping to get them listed today.

It feels like it has been a long journey but I finally made silver...

whooooo!

Yay!! Well done leebarton!!

And well done everyone else too - it's wonderful seeing all the money saved! I too have been spending the OC money BUT it's stopped me from going anymore into debt/making things really hard so that's been fantastic

I also gae my boots card to a friend (b-i-l's gf) at boots and nearly passed out afterwards- my total had gone from £14.56 to £22.93!!! OMG!! She has no money problems!! She should get a boots card though thtee amount she spends/wastes in Boots!!

So if I work out that I can get the cash from another pot I'll add it to the challenge money too. All good for presents later in the year. Got a good amount of Tesco points too and also am a few more clicks/surveys off a few vouchers, so really need to get cracking with this as the last little bit is sooo hard!

Kiwigirl - did you do a car boot?

FDF - you're doing so much! Congrats on all the savings too - thats fantastic

Thanks and tell me about it!! hardly have time to sit and think!!! although the good thing is everythings budgeted for whereas before I would have put it on the credit card and dealt with it later! wont be around this weekend either as its that surf weekend in Bude I was on about a while ago! thats a bargain weekend as its done through work cost us £40 whereas booked independantly would have cost £100!

That's OK - I like the little letters.:D

I don't think I could make gold in the next few weeks, but I will carry on.

What is the next challenge going to be then?

I put in £50 today so am just £7 away from my goal, I can almost taste it!
