  • Good evening. I am returning to the challenge following a few days out due to having my little boy on the 9th.

    To add for this month:

    £10 voucher from S&S
    £3 cashback
    £3.50 saved as got free delivery on school uniform for ds
    £1.08 cashback from Mr A

    Total to be added £17.58, which takes the balance for this month to £59.98.

    I am currently awaiting numerous payments for various sites so hopefully they will come in soon, as this will take my balance to £130

    Congratulations MMM!

    I have about £170 sat in my PayPal account from eBay sales but I won't add it until the fees for the month have come out. I'm saving it for spending money on holiday :)

    I've got £103 winging it's way from quidco but I've just missed the 15th payout, bummer, so I'll add it when it hits my account at the end of the month. :)

    Well done to everyone with such great efforts, I'm in awe of you MMM I hope you are being kind to yourself :)

    I've been working hard at work and with family/household stuff in the past few days and it has occurred to me I'm not sure I have any hope of reaching my target this month. I did so well in the last couple of months though, I'm not going to beat myself up.

    I was partly working so hard at this as I'd been told I'd been overpaid by thousands in child tax credit, it turns out, unexpectedly I am still eligible for CTC and the overpayment will be recouped through lesser payments. That's a weight off my mind.

    I'm hoping to put some stuff on eBay tonight for 10 days and have a few items ending on Sunday. I think I'm going to be too tired for any car boots.

    I need to sort car insurance this month so will hope to get a good deal, with possible cashback there, got a voucher saying you can get a £50 voucher if you take out a policy with Sainsbury.
