Thanks Aesop, I'm so close to my Degree now I can almost touch it.. almost, but not quite!! Two weeks to go...[...]

Great stuff! Good luck with it. I remember graduating and it's one of the proudest moments in my life (so much so I did it another two times lol!) :rotfl:

Hi everyone. It is lovely to see people are still going with this...I fell off the mse wagon but would love to get back at it...can I join you all again please? I promise to try harder :A I am hoping to make £1,000,000.00 a day but will start at £5 a day as it is much more realistic...
I have listed on ebay and started a car boot mountain...my penny jar is getting counted in the morning so I may get £5 there. I will start with a nice £7.07 interest in my ISA for today. :j

Great start - welcome back to the fold! :T

Just a few more abreviations i can think of

OH - other half
DD,DH,DS dear daughter, dear hubby, dear son
TCB - top cash back
SB - swagbucks
Mr A, Mr T - asda/tesco
OP - original post or over payment
DF debt free
MF mortgage free

maybe the first post could be updated with abbs lol! xx

Even though I may have covered several of those, the idea is sound - Could the OP update the first post each month to contain a list of common abbreviations. Mayhap we could get MSE to do it somewhere so all new posts could link to it?!

After a 12-18 months of my washing machine being temperamental it ended up flooding the kitchen TWICE yesterday before dying altogether. So, enough is enough! I've had to get a new one, and unfortunately it had to be on credit. However, it is on interest free for now (will hopefully pay off before the interest hits), and i also went through quidco, and i also had a code for 10% off with a free gift. Won't include the 10%, but once quidco pays out i'll include that. God knows what the free gift is, possibly some piece of tat, but it might make a stocking filler/christmas gift for somebody!

I've got lots of auctions started. Hoping to do another 20 today. I have some major catching up to do don't i?? I'll made £30 so far this month! I have done 2 forest surveys however i'm not counting them till i cash out now. Saving them for christmas!

Anyway, have a good day everyone!

Ours has been going for 2 years now. We've had it 7! It was flooding the kitchen everywhere. I took out all the filters, unblocked them all, found about £8 (I added this last month) and it's been great since. We do need new bearings though as it's noisy but that's £30 fitted from a friend.

I was tempted to buy a 7KG Zanussi Washer/Dryer off FB last night for £150 (8 months old still in warranty) but with 4 kids at home, we just won't use the washer's dryer as we have a great big separate tumbler. Oh, and washer/dryers are notorious for going wrong!

Have a great day, everyone. :A

Small ones for me today, £5 off at Mr T's from spending over £40 last week, plus now earned the £18 back that I have spent on the half price delivery saver so can start counting that each week now - well worth it

Got a couple of outstandings still waiting, camping with my Scouts at the weekend so going to do my sun-dance later, any help would be greatly appreciated ;p

I bought our Zanussi 8 years ago in July with our wedding money. There are 5 of us, so it has certainly served us well. Its been stripped down, cleaned out ect ect a number of times, but its taking nearly 3 hours to do a single standard wash and its just no good any more! Lol. I hate washer/dryers. Wouldn't have one given to be honest.

I've gone for a more budget brand this time (Indesit) but it has 20 minute cycles which will be perfect to be honest, especially with a 13 year old who changes clothes more often than anything!! :rotfl:

Just a point on this that you may be unaware of. Mr T registers you as a new account (allowing you to sue the £15 off £60) every new email address you use for a delivery. You can use the same payment card. I've had at least 50 deliveries this way (two in the same night once which was funny with the driver :o).

This is a far better saving than the delivery saver. HTH :A

Ours the same - OH had 5 children at home when I met her! Now only 4 left but the 17 year old goes through more clothes than I can keep track of. Add to this DD3 is currently trying to stay dry at night (badly) and it's on non-stop! :eek:

be careful with this, Ts are merging all duplicate accounts now. They did it to me, so the separate e-mail I had, was closed and my accounts merged together.

there IS a post somewhere with abbreviations on already but it is not necessarily the same as everybody else's. By this I mean, we talk about SB - swagbucks, and not every other user does, and we may have abbreviations that are really only for this thread, and other threads are the same.

The first post is too long to add abbreviations too, but will make a third post for it.

I had a BIN on ebay for £70 someone offered me £36 that I quickly rejected, and they came back with an offer of of £46. I rejected again. It had 103 views and 12 watchers so I knew it was popular.
Just woke up and had a look on etsy and it has sold for the asking price.

I am quite lucky in that when I go to the Airbase (every week for shopping) there is a section in the library for books that people who are leaving the UK can dump them and anyone can just pick through them and take as many as they want. So two nice Amazon sales this morning as well.

Thankfully my boyfriend has just deposited my car insurance money into my account that's £700 that does not need to go on the credit card, as I had not saved a single penny towards it.

Aesop

Keep meaning to update my total and getting distracted

£10 from selling bin bag of old stuff to friend to sell on herself, don't care, she can make what she can from it, better out of my house though!

16p from qmee

72p from mysupermarket

£1.07 from app trailers

doing alright despite having no vids to watch and constantly downloading apps and uninstalling them

I live near Mildenhall and there's a big American air base there. I can't get on any more (boo, I LOVED it), but a charity shop in Mildenhall always has amazing American finds. My favourite was £1 games, new in the wrapping, worth £40 each on eBay. I bought 10...
