    £10 New Look voucher received today from signing up to Sun Perks in December.
  • Hi guys sorry I've not been around I'm currently studying my backside off but have managed a few savings.

    £9.71 in amazon sales
    £2.50 nectar redeem
    £2.89 brand match voucher
    =£ £15.10 to add to my siggy

    And my utterly wonderful gf came round last night and not only cooked us a fantastic Sunday dinner but also cooked a gigantic batch of chilli so that I don't have to put my books aside to make dinner (or resort to nasty ready meals). So I essentially don't have to buy any food for a week :)

    Well they turned up - but there was some damage I hadn't noticed in the guitar so we agreed £200. It's gone straight off a credit card. And means I reach my target this month!

    Well done guys, some impressive totals!

    I have had a rubbish day financially. I sold some of my sisters items on eBay using her account, eBay took the fees a while later and I forgot to cover it meaning that she went into an unauthorised overdraft. My mum opened her statements(she's in peru) and told me she was overdrawn, I said I'd sort it. My mother failed to tell me that there was a £5 fee every day it is overdrawn, I assumed it was a current account and that would be covered by the £50 waiver Halfax have in place. Finally got it all sorted out today and after a week of forward and back calls to them, I have had to pay £65 in fees :( I could cry :(
    £20k in 2023 = £2718 £2023 in 2023 = £196.41 Grocery challenge £250= £195.80 **MONEY MAKES ME HAPPY**

    Finally had some payouts from the CD's, books & games I sent, there were a few changes once they had examined them which was a little disappointing, but you live and learn.
    Had some good sales on ebay too as DH had a clearout of garage - a bath and two exercise bikes amongst them!
    I have done some overtime this month too, but I don't want to log the money until I actually have the cash, so I will do that when I get paid next month.
    Slightly short of my £155 target, but have a couple of things outstanding that will hopefully make it in before the end of the month.
    I think I'd like to try for £5 per day again in February as I think I may find it more difficult next month, I've had such a declutter - not sure there's anything of value left to sell.....
    I'm quite interested in looking into matched betting and bingo as I am a very cautious person so don't think I'll get into the whole gambling issues, but I will read and reread all the threads first.
    Thank you to all who inspire, I do read the thread most days and find it keeps me going. I'm just saving the money I am making until I get a decent lump sum to pay a chunk off the mortgage -
    that will be very satisfying :grin:

    Big hugs to you nat21luv, sounds a nightmare, I must say you sound like a wonderful sister, which is priceless xx
  • Evening all, I've added £10 to my siggy from a sale on fb. I've sold some bits on eBay but they've not been paid for yet so I won't update siggy until I have the cash, lol :)

    You guys all do so well, I'm so motivated by you all so just giving you all a big thank you :)
    Hope you all have a lovely evening x

  • Well! You lot have certainly inspired me to keep going this month..... Hope I haven't overdone it only to crash and burn next month...... However! Time to share my update...... With overtime, amazon, ziffit, music magpie and private sales have made a whopping £1013.84p extra..... Not overdrawn AND paid £1000 off my debt ( will update sig later).

    Still got some stuff on eBay but going to save that until next months total ...... Anyway! Big thanks again for the inspiration- can see myself getting out of debt AND not ending up as the female Mr Trebus if I carry on like this :-)
