DD1 has paid £35 back to me that I'd forgotten about. so that's £20 off the mortgage and £15 into savings account.
So that should be £62.60/£310 so far this month.

Hi all,

Hope it's not too late for me to join! Been reading this thread with interest and it sounds like a fantastic idea! Put me down for £10 a day, so £310 for the month.

I've made £46.17 so far by selling an old iPod on eBay. Looking forward to getting involved and getting to know you all!

Thanks,

Gaz

Nothing new to add today, but some foundations have been laid:

Box of books for ZiffIt were taken to Collect Plus last night
New Look returns also taken to Collect Plus
Two mystery shops arranged - both very low paid - one is tweeting a company and the other is a supermarket.
Logged into Marketforce and found that 3 of my referrals have completed jobs, meaning £4.50 for me.
Logged into Quidco and requested a payout.

I'm also about 90% of the way to completing my new "bargain wedding" blog. The layout looks great and I'm just adding the finishing touches and thinking about what my first post should be about.

ANDDDDDDD finally, I'm not counting it, but we have gone ahead and booked the wedding venue of our dreams. It was coming out at £5,600 for a Saturday in May :O:O:O but we decided to book a Thursday (controversial but we are giving guests more than a year's notice, AND most of our family are retired anyway) for £3,200 (still ouch but it is the dream) - got the invoice and it's "only" £2,800. That's helped our budget out loads

Afternoon all

I've got a few bits to add:-

2p roadkill which literally leapt out of some shelves in sainsburys and hot me in the face? bizarre I know!
£15 credit in referrals for The Protein Works, so now I'll be able to order myself a big bag for next to nothing, and got £10 worth for free after a haggle with customer service

= £25.02 to add to the siggy

well my ebay stuff didn't sell and had a nightmare of a day.

been at hospital yesterday and today for an ongoing illness since October. the hospital is not happy with my Drs surgery and are sending them a report. an appointment I had next week they are trying to get pushed to this week as urgent.

Sorry to hear that you are unwell, I hope all the problems with your Dr get sorted soon too.
Also pants about ebay, keep trying though, I'm sure it will go eventually.

So, I would like to add £20 for some class cover on Monday, 6p roadkill which has gone in my 52 week challenge tin for extra payments and £100 from a Christmas gift, hooray! :T I will pop my total on my siggy :A

Oh I forgot something else to add. I had an email to complete an online survey task over three days, mainly for social networking users. It pays £60 Amazon voucher for three days next week - I have signed up and sent my disclaimer to them, so that should be great!

I've finished my final mystery shop for the week, another £10. 3 ebay auctions finished, all sold. Only £6.85 after fees and postage but better than nothing for items that I would have given away usually.

£13.81 to add to siggy - some mileage and sold a skirt x

Ooh that survey sounds good emma, is there a link at all so I can try my luck?

Ive been super frugal today, used a T's PP voucher for £1.66 against my shopping of £1.67 and the SA gave me the penny...turned around and then found 5p roadkill 99p S's BM voucher used against shopping and took back a frame that was a gift I don't like for £8, my shopping came to £2.97 for the next 10 days chuffed.

£20 body shop refund came, yay so adding that as I received some of the products in my order and sold them so the refund is for the other half that I didn't want to arrive anyway. Was a struggle getting it, they really put up a fight!

It was an email for 18-24 year olds............I can forward the email if anyone wants to PM me their email address.

On a roll, I rang our water company. We've had a leak for about 18 months :mad: finally getting it all sorted and provided them with our average usage. I should get a phone call within 5 working days telling me how much they'll be refunding us.

That has spurred me on to email First Utility to ask where the £75 compensation is.

None of this counts to *my* total, but it'll boost our wedding fund :j
