    wow you done well Jen! Its amazing how those small figures per month add upto so much a year.

    Well done on the sales wendz £35 after fees is fab!

    I done a grocery shop today and forgot my money off coupon :( missed out on a £3 saving grrr. So i spent £31. All i went for was a few sandwhich bits! Thought id buy while im there to save another trip in the week. I now have so much i shouldnt need to buy for nearly two weeks id say! Apart from milk.

    Hello! Would love to join in too! This year I am dedicated to blitzing the debt once and for all, and making as much money from my unwanted items as possible to go with it.

    Just waiting patiently for pay day now, and a small amount of other money from various places, then I hope to be on a roll!

    I have not spent anything (except food, but that is out of our joint bills account) since 12th Jan, so hoping for as many NSDs as I can possibly manage also!
