My lucky week

earlier this week I signed up for £5 a day challenge:-
the first day I did the money makeover and I saved ££21a month on my water billwhen I pointed out I use communal washing machine, and don't have a dishwasher,and its only me
yesterday I found out when seeing the bank to open 2nd account (martins advice) that I have £200 in a cash book .. I had forgotten about
today I started doing surveys and I ticked for further info about an accident in last 3 years(and they phoned me tonight and said I a good case for compensation
also having lost my glasses whilst on psychiatric ward I phoned my insurance but the excess was higher than the glasses
but having read the policy I have claimed for lost frozen food when my freezer packed up recently
so cheers martin and co:beer:
I also do online banking and every night I transfer the odd amount into another account eg if balance was £25.65
I opened a esavings account and transfer the 65p into that account
also signed for post office budget card and Christmas saving
club which you can top up with anthing over £2 so im saving £2 coins also tpcashback. and park hampers
thank you martin for teaching me that money can be fun...ive always been scared of it.

    Haha I doubt you'll get anything? Were you concussed? Hospitalised? Suffering brain damage?

    I had them try to tell me I could claim compo for a accident that was technically my fault in terms of insurance. They are not on your side,
  • cool post, what a lovely week.
    be careful of the compo claims.......karma.
