  • Belated birthday wishes for you PLMBE :beer: No news from Michelle yet?? ;):p

    No money made. And still not listing done. So time to get my finger out as I have 3 hours to myself this morning so I'm gonna list list list! Will update how many I manage. I'm am SO skint it is unbelievable. Thankgod for the funds I had in paypal from last week as this has paid a bill that was due and will get me some shopping this weekend.

    DH is up to 65 hours so far this week (his contract is 24) so he is being a star. He won't get this overtime till October but it is going to be a MASSIVE help and will hopefully get most of our christmas shopping done with it, along with the vouchers I have coming. He should have a little bit of overtime on this months pay too, but not loads. It all adds up tho! Unfortunately we don't get paid till 27th hence the reason I need to make some cash!

    This challenge is keeping me going so thanks to all who post and help run the thread :o

    £5.50 MS payment to add.

    But...I went to the Tesco Exclusive Food Event last night and it was AMAZING! It took less than the full hour, there was lots of food on offer to try (all bread and baked goodies, mmmm), they provided some interesting information about their processes, but it didn't go on and on.

    Best of all though? Their goodie bags were more than generous:

  • Adding £2.80 in vouchers for 560 nectar points sent to me through the post, all relating to specific things I buy occasionally so that's good. They are pretty expensive things though, to be fair -- even with the money off I think some of the prices are to be winced at!

    That is brilliant emmaglet! What a nice little grocery windfall!

    I have found 40p tucked away in a drawer and have some extra bids on my ebay listings. They all end this weekend so hoping my figure jumps in a few days. :). Also found a good carboot sale for Sunday. Going to need it as next week is set to be expensive......bah-humbug!

    Emmaglet that goodie bag looks great, never heard of those taster evenings before so googled it and signed up to go in a couple of weeks. Nearest 2 stores not listed, but one about 30 mins away is on so will pop in with OH. Wonder if we get a goodie bag each?

    Had to just cashout my money from Top Cashback - only £13.61 but just spent a small fortune on baby clothes to gift to my cousin - how cute the tiny clothes are though!

    Luckily the extra money I've made this month through this challenge has really helped - 1 week til payday, got hardly any money left! :eek:

    [EDIT:] Just checked my spam e-mail folder and won £73 on the lottery from Weds! Half that (I have to split it with my boyfriend) so another £36.50 to add! Good timing seeing as I'm down to my last few pounds!
