My month was begining to falter so I've stuck £46 of Tesco CC points on eBay to get me over the £300 mark. Hopefully they'll sell for £100 ish.
Other than this I got 6 x WW meals at £2.99 each for nothing and 6 bottles of coke Zero. That's lunches sorted all week so £10 saved. DOn't know if I include that?!
£16 in the swear jar over the weekend.:o:o:o:oI am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

you are all amazing
I've eaten the ice cream and started telling myself i'm better off on my own - men are just too much like hard work......lol!
It depends which one you get. Some of them may be high maintenance, but they may also bring maintenance of your other areas down a bit, and make some maintenance bits more enjoyable than self maintenance.I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

I will add a £2 coupon and a £1 coupon- the £1 was off a loaf of gluten and wheat free bread at £2 but I found a loaf for 25p

As you are good with computers & money making, have you read the book `Get Rich Click` by Marc Ostrofsky. I have a copy and its a useful read, but I am not so good at computer jargon, but it might be useful to yourself.It's not the despair, Laura. I can take the despair.

Well, i've entered some competitions this morning for the mini challenge. I've also set up a new twitter account as i don't think my few followers will appreciate all my competition retweets. Lol. I also think i should perhaps set up another email address specifically for comping? I predict some spam coming through!
I'm now going through my "baking" cupboard and gonna start doing some baking and using up some of my stuff before it all goes out of date! Supposed to be going to Taybarns with DH and the kids this evening to celebrate the new job ect. Not sure if we are gonna go though. On the plus side, it will be the family deal all you can eat, 2 adults and 2 kids for £17.99. Its very rare that we go out as a family to eat so maybe we should go.

Been putting in lots of time doing extra work and really successful car boot sale at the weekend, raised nearly £140 but unfortunately had to part with most of it as a lot of the stuff wasn't mine but can't sniff at my £61 and clearing a load of boxes of stuff out of mum's spare room! Used Music Magpie for the first time and despite many of the CD's being a bit scratched they didn't deduct a penny! Excellent! I'd heard many horror stories about the site but was really pleased with them!
I've just signed up to swag bucks but a bit disheartened by the amount of points I need to accumulate to get anything back so I think any reward from that site will be in a distant future challenge!
I think I'm going to up my target to £10 a day since I smashed £5, I need to keep myself motivated! This challenge is awesome!May 2013 - Make £5 a day challenge £214.17/£155
Car boot sale £61 / Babysitting £30 / Helping at the local cricket club £90 / Ebay £3.26 / Music Magpie £29.910 -
