    Ok, so when I signed up for sky-ages ago now. They said I would get a £25 M & S voucher. I chased it up this morning and received an online code this morning. So that's £25 up... Only thing is I would have preferred a physical voucher so I could have used it on groceries etc and put some of the grocery budget into savings...can't think of anything I want / need from M & S ...

    Whenever I've got M&S e-certificates there's also a way to print them and get a pin number too. Worth a look, it should explain in the email.

    Ooh, thanks for this Emma. have printed it off and put the equivalent from shopping money into special account (set up purely for £10 a day challenges) :)

    I've also put extra away (money I'm not spending on cigarettes since I am doing Stoptober.). So far this month I have made/saved £68.00

    Oh dear - i kinda lost the plot today and spent farrrrrrr too much on stuff i don't need :o:o:o It was all charity shop stuff - mostly fabric for crafting with but i already have a pile of craft fabric so i really didn't need to buy any! I was looking for pink stuff for my breast cancer quilt (bought some for this) but saw too many other nice ones :eek::eek: I really need to get stuck into making stuff and more importantly finishing things ready to sell! Hopefully it will make me money long term but it was just a bit of a splurge!

    Have to look at the bank account and take some off the debt fund to pay for it now :mad: silly silly fairy!!!!

    +70p because my uncle gave me £2 for parking and it was then £1.30 so he told me to keep the £ ... Feel this is a little bit of a cheat one though :/

    I'm trying to decide whether to drink or drive tomorrow :/ would be £20 down the drain if I drink, + a hung over trip to airport sun to return dad to airport.....hmm will get back to you on that one... could be a big boost to the pot though :D
