  • I've just had a letter from Sky today saying that my internet costs are going down from £17 per month to £5 per month - saing me £12 a month :j

    I also saved about £200 when I renewed my car insurance a fortnight ago - can I count these savings in the challenge? :confused:

    Wow I found this thread at the bottom of page 6 :eek:

    Have been having a better week so far, MS money went in for TNS - £39.56.

    Then sold another book on Amazon, all of 71p profit :rolleyes:, about £1 on one ebay thing and £2.50 on another, so combined with the £5 or so I got on Saturday from a video I'd sold I'm over my target for this week :T

    Then 40p change from using some vouchers we got at Easter yesterday.

    Checked my Amazon account earlier and I've sold another video set too so I'm doing ok.

    My parents gave me 4 books and 1 CD to sell, (things they'd read on holiday but didn't really enjoy - 2 books have come out recently in hardback and are on the best seller list (mum got them half price so not too bad but didn't enjoy them so gave them to me) so fingers crossed, I've listed 1 book and the cd so far, I might read the other books too first.

    My ebay things have a good number of watchers but no bidders - fingers crossed for those, ending at the weekend.

    Hope everyone else is doing ok - Gemmzie I'll pm you totals when I get home as my spreadsheets on that computer - I've written it on my to do list ;)
