    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hello fairyclicks, I have a friend who owns a bridal studio and she specialises in consignments although she also buys dresses outright if you would prefer. Her FB page is pretty cool as she also makes dresses for brides and their bridesmaids. It could be worth getting in touch with her. She is on FB as Bexbrides. I don't know where in the UK you are but I'm sure you could mail them to her if needs be and she is located just outside of Darlington. :)

    Oh and she sold a brand new Alfred Angelo dress for me once that I picked up on EBay that was nwt. I made a nice profit on it too! She also has a bridesmaid/prom area so she may be interested in any formal gowns also if anyone out there doesn't want to go down the eBay route.

    Won £10 on the lotto! But I have to split it with the other half so £5 to my total.

    Also quite exciting, finally got around to sorting through a small bag of jewellery I inherited when my step-gran died about 5 years ago (had been stored in the garage). Most of it is cheap stuff, but googled something that looked interesting and it turns out it's a gold sovereign from 1965!! So might have that valued in town to see if anywhere will buy it off me (It's mounted on a necklace so apparently that lowers it's value).

    I can strongly recommend Hatton Garden Metals (http://www.hattongardenmetals.com/) for sovereign coins. I sold two a few years ago - I just took the coin out of the necklace mount myself. They've got an offer on full sovereigns atm making it £210 for a full sovereign coin.

  • Wednesday;

    Was a free lunch day at work so saved £3.60 there.
    Also earnt £2.53 on google ad click throughs! I'm going to work on this site a bit more to get some more conversions direct to retailer which will boost earnings!

    Listed some .co.uk domains for sale so hopefully I will get a few quid for thoughs, got my fingers crossed for a big one but we will see.

    Complained about the meal that we had on Tuesday night and got a £20 voucher, although I am not going to book that against this until I use it (valid for 6 months)

    Thursday:

    Saved £1 in the afternoon on my usual drink and choccy bar and not much else to report as I was busy listing the car for sale.

    Although I did get 20% cash back on the car listing which is £9 so i might just book that :)

    Friday is looking like a free lunch day as well, so I am going to book £3.10 to that as I spent 50p on a mid morning tea which is nor usual.

    £19.23 to go to the total out of a target of £30. I'll see what I can work on this weekend.
    Target to be debt free: Dec 2015 (33 and debt free ;))

    I won a dvd that is perfect for DS birthday this month so that's £5 saved.
  • Got myself off to a good start on Wednesday when I arrived home to £10 worth of vouchers in the post! Woop! And Thursday I found waiting for me at the self serve checkout, wait for it...... 1p! LOL! :rotfl:

    Joined a loyalty scheme at the petrol station, pays out in vouchers for M&S/Love2Shop. Not sure how quickly this will add up, but we'll see.

    Completed a few more surveys online and got a free sample of liquitabs coming in the post. Just waiting for some rewards to clear then I can cash in!
