  • £11.62 in eBay sales today after all the costs were deducted, bringing me tantalisingly close to my February target. Can I find another £3.31 in two days? Time will tell...

    Listed a much loved piece of furniture for £120 on FB site as I didn't want to part with it.....and today someone has paid the £120 and taken it away! Only paid £50 originally some years ago :D
    Well done - hope they love it just as much :)

    I have been absent for over a week as I have been on holiday so missed a bit of making money this month. However the good news is it is payday today and I have received my final part of the refund of my childcare vouchers, (I have been battling for since last July). After deductions my refund was £180.
    That was well worth the effort eh. Well done sticking it out :D

    I hadn't done very well this month - I was having a moan to my BF about it and couldn't make out why he was so unsympathetic and smug :(. He let me whinge on and then told me that since I started doing the Grocery Challenge in November he'd also been more careful with his spending and the joint effort means he'd managed to transfer £1,000 into our savings! :j

    So, to my BF and everyone who's helped encourage me on this forum. :iloveyou:
