I'm in again this month. Am wondering if I can stretch the rules a teeny bit? I don't have a salary as since September I have been self-employed and trying to establish my business as a sole trader. Right now I have no known income coming in for February _pale_ - but I calculate I need £1K a month to keep on track with my debt reduction. So can I use this challenge to go for that? I will include anything I make from any work I can get and I plan to restart matched betting. I calculate that as £36 a day... :eek: :eek:

hey mizmir :hello: of course you can hun. good luck with the sole trading :money:

Can I ask where you got your Lidl coupon from please?

Well, I did some overtime last month so should be £60 once my boss decides to pay me...
I've listed on ebay today, £179 worth so praying some sells!!

Hi Kirsty

It was in yesterdays Sun. I believe there was also a coupon in there today. It was only valid until 3.2.14 (Monday) otherwise I would have got a couple of copies of the paper.

I find the forum is great for checking the offers in newspapers and have had several offers during the last year.

Would definately recommend checking particularly at weekends

Hello everyone,
Dear Aesop thank you for the hard work you put into the forum. Long time no post but I did keep an eye on mse, of course. And you encouraged me to sign up to this challenge, so here I am, my first ever challenge of this kind, could you please put me down for £5/day in February? Thank you very much and good luck to everyone. Xx

:hello: nice to see you again. hope we can help.

Can I join please? £10 a day is a tall order for me but gonna aim high! £280 this month.

I have a question.... does buying reduced items count (i.e grocery shopping money saved by buying yellow sticker food?)

it's called Whoopsie buying because in A"da they put yellow stickers on saying whoops... reduced to xx.

You can count the money saved if you can physically take the same amount of money and use it to pay debts/savings/etc.

Kicking off this month with a WHOPPING £96.44 which is made up of £6.25 tips and £90.19 cashback from Quidco (won't hit my bank for a couple of days but adding now as working lots this week so not sure when i will get back on to update).

Good luck everyone!

Got off to a good start today.
I went onto Topcashback to get buildings insurance and discovered I had £7.21 sitting there. Also discovered I had an old Paddy Power account (must have got a free Grand National bet last year as I don't gamble) so that was another £10. And finally sold a top on eBay so that's another £2.20.

Hi all, long time lurker.

Still not sure I'd manage a total so for now just doing my own thing.

Can any one please tell me how to become part of eBay research panel.

I have seen a few people mention it on the January thread and wod like to give it a go.

Thanks x
