    Well, I misjudged the postage so only made £3 from my ebay items. Really loving the Paypal system to get postage labels. Saves me hassles with work paying it and me paying them back.

    I'm only on £20.05. Need to get my bum in gear!

    Everyone seems to be doing really well! :beer:

    My bargain trainers weren't a bargain after all and have had to go back due to hurting my feet! :mad:

    Did get a nice letter with a £50 cheque from one of my Premium bonds - 2 this year, so doing better than normal with mine! Every time I threaten to take them out I get a cheque from them, must remember to threaten to take money out every month! :D:D

    Although I did spend a bit more than I expected to spend yesterday, saved in excess of £100 that I'd probably be spending by end of year so have saved that too.

    So think currently I'm on around £210, but I'm sure this will dry up quite quickly in next week or two!

  • I got a £10 Tesco gift-card from Valued Opinions today. I am not adding it to my total yet though. I am going to combine it with a money-off coupon and buy something from Tesco to sell for the challenge.
