Hi All,
After falling off the wagon last month I have started March with £11.44 savings on my main monthly shop and £1 road kill in an abandoned trolly.
So day one and I have £12.44
If this continues I will be one happy bunny :rotfl:

Morning all,
First day of the challenge! Feel like I'm off to a good start, having a cuppa and catching up on some surveys before heading into town for a MS.
Out of curiosity do mystery shoppers add the fee to their total on the day of the shop or on pay day?
Personally I add mine as I go along otherwise I get in a muddle, well even more of a muddle than usual :rotfl:
A BIG welcome to all the newcomers :hello: - great to see you joining our merry throng.
Managed to finish last month on £305.06 so quite chuffed with that :j and that is without counting money saved on ciggies last (nearly) 3 weeks = another £51. I reckon I was spending £3 a day (was rolling my own but buying all my baccy abroad) so not a HUGE spending but it will add up over the year eh
Have taken all my income off money owing on car together with the £101 saved this month on council tax (they only take for 10 months eh) so that is coming down now.
Found a bag tucked away in kitchen drawer - having a total declutter albeit VERY slowly - and it had £1.63 in it so first Roadkill of the month :J
Hope you all have a super Sunday

Starting the month with £11.73 to add from eBay sales after all fees are taken into account
Not counting yet the money from a short Crowdology survey because I haven't quite reached the payment threshold yet, but it did amuse me a bit to earn a few pennies for staring hard at less than half a dozen questions, none of which I could supply an answer to. I don't think anyone's ever paid me for having a 'dim' moment before. Which is a shame really, because I've had loads of them. I should be worth a small fortune by now
I was hoping to start adding my 'cutting back on smoking' total from this month too, but I did badly on that front today. I roll my own as well and have been doing it for so long that I can easily do it while concentrating on something else entirely, which is where a lot of my problem lies. I think I'll try putting my cigs somewhere a bit more inaccessible so that I have to make a conscious decision to reach for them. Which shouldn't be difficult - I've got that much stuff out in various stages of being sorted and scrubbed for eBay that just about everywhere is inaccessible now. I've got a feeling that my declutter is going to be much like yours, Lynn - VERY slowDecember 'Make £10 A Day' Challenge - £1.82/£155.000 -
Just sold OHs iPhone on eBay. £130 after all fees. Good start to the month but will still be a challenge to meet my target. But am going to try my hardest. It's really motivating to read everyone's posts on here. Thanks to you all. :jOSWL (start 13st) by 30Jun20 6/10

I wasn't sure whether to join the March challenge, as I've saved the money that I needed from January and February. Decided I will, then I should have some extra for holiday spends in April. Please can I be down for £10 again please.
Started the month with a nice batch of 5 direct orders from Textbroker, earning £25 from these.0
