  • Another couple of £5 Morries vouchers used yesterday, so £9.20 after the cost of the papers.

    £65.54 after fees for selling broken phone on ebay.

    Also cashed out for 6 cinema tickets with shop and scan which will enable two free trips to the cinema for the 4 of us (I have a carers card for DH so I get in free). That's a £40 saving :T.

    I am creeping in and 'hanging head in shame' admitting forgot to sign up this month although been watching the Fred.

    Sorry Emma and please put me down for usual £10 a day = £310

    Been really busy and rushing around. DH has finally landed a FT job on contract starting today, went to Festival for weekend and been frantically moving monies etc as now no income until the end of September :eek:

    Exactly, the first time in 5 years I have to go out to paid employment. Ive been self employed for the last 5 years but its not enough and I need to save a substantial amount within the next year. Recently diagnosed with anxiety so just the thought of having to converse with someone other than my family fills me with fear. I have never been like this, I dont even recognise myself. :(
    Hope you soon feel better Nat and find something you can enjoy as well as earning :)

    Well - look like some are doing really well already this month. Must get cracking as slipping here on the making-money stakes and need to give myself a good talking to. I don't do the 'sales' as have nothing spare to sell :rotfl:

    Hoping to pick up some more MS though and get stuck into the surveys now things have settled down a bit.

    Hope you all have a tremendous Tuesday
