I also have differnt accounts, one is even named 'new handbag :0'

Wouldn't you just believe it! I decided to take a rest this month, and it's the best I have ever done apart from last Xmas.
A mixture of 3 MS (first since January) good sales on both fleabay and amazon. Getting a big order from Approved Foods again first time since the beggining of the year, think I saved about £75 on that alone. and a mixture of small things that have mounted up.
I will be back next moth but I think I have played around long enough and am going to go for the £310.

£67.19 to add to my total!

Been doing the grocery challenge a couple of months now and this month, amazingly, i have come well under budget. Payday tomorrow and i had £67.19p left in my spare account which i use for groceries only so i have paid it off a debt this afternoon.

Feeling very chuffed with myself for that

Well, despite thinking I wasn't going to get anywhere near my target this month, I seem to have made it. With surprise gifts from parents for holidays and not spending it all I've managed to top up the eBay sales, MS payments and Quidco takings to reach target. Now just got to get it all into my bank account and allocate it somewhere! I put mine aside into a tub then it gets counted and the lump sum collects each month so I do something specific with that money. Makes it more worthwhile for me then, what does everyone else do?

I'm replacing an income as far as I can so I'm keeping this money in my current account to spend on essentials. Looks like I'm going to be in a better position workwise from this month, so fingers crossed that continues and I can relax a bit!

Adding £40 today after my children gave me £20 as they wanted to help out from money they had been given and I've just sold two pairs of boots for £10 each.

I do different things. Firstly, I section the "online money" off into an e-savings (NOT for the rates, rather just to keep it in a different pot) or else it all gets spent on random stuff.

Then month by month I decide what to do with it - sometimes I need it for car insurance (I WILL start saving monthly for this!) or a bill, but mostly it goes into various savings - Florida, debts, etc.

I have another 12 pound to add from survey sites and instagc amazon vouchers, these will be saved and used on baby items we will be needing. Total now is £437.19, much more than the 120 I had anticipated,we are going to buy tyres with some of the gold money the rest has gone on household expenses, also today I am really pleased as my debt management plan with Stepchange is being started so i can start to get on top of my debts

Not a lot of money making for me as had family staying over the bank holiday so a bit manic to say the least.A few bits on The bay have bids so we will see how they go.
