At £85/£1,200. Will try my best to get it to £100 just before payday. I am quite impressed with myself getting this far in couple days, which I know in grand scheme is not a lot but for me and being a single parent is a lot.

8 days til payday. I have £30 in my bank and due another £20 from child benefit. If I take £10 off for petrol (may end up £20 depends where I go over weekend or how much my car loves the petrol ) and say £10 for milk etc, I should be left with £20 more to add to my cup in house. Surveys up now :P

I am quite positive I can possibly make it to £1,200 without increasing my overdraft.... quite xx

7 days til payday woo!!! Finish off my sons birthday presents set for November (I know this is a total lie and I will guilt buy thinking not enough!) To get him hoverboard, hoverskateboard, and child fitbit. A few games to get too and other things. My mum and dad are getting his TKD outfit and bag which will cost £80 roughly which is what he needs.

His christmas will be sofabed for his room, bike, PS4 games and I cant remember what else. My mum and dad are getting him a new gaming chair - he picked out the one he likes which is £120 but saw on offer for £60 which reminds me to send them the link lol.

Got £10 from VO in argos vouchers. Trying to get £30 so I can get a floor lamp that I liked online.

Survey attack today, try get some more to add to fence fund. also going to put his two small gaming chairs up for sale, they are normally £40 and not a year old. Will put on facebook market £10 each and possibly two for £15. They are in great condition... he normally sits on his bed lol If sold will go to fence fund xx

See what a difference it makes having a goal? Your motivation is through the roof

How do you know that your son will definitely want these things come Christmas? My son rhymed off a few things last night but I wouldn't buy them until nearer the time just in case.

I've been on the selling wagon too - made about £40 after postage and fees on some clothes. Not a lot, but it all adds up!

He wants a sofabed for his games room and picked it out. Bike he has grown and too big I always think Christmas when I see. The rest will be games just out etc then what he likes. He literally has everything so its hard to buy for him xx

Don't put them up for £10 put them up for £20 each then it leaves you room to renegotiate xx

I will do that maybe two for £30? I am awful at this. Will give them a scrub tonight, I do not like idea someone buying something off me and its not been cleaned! My boy can play games on his bed lol.

6 days til payday. Nearly at £2.50 for another OP so will add to fence fund. Literally every single penny being accounted for. I am going to try not increase my overdraft!

Quiet weekend ahead! Finish Transform 20 tomorrow woo!! Start Insanity Max 30 Monday. Also 13 reasons why is out today. Literally weekend is set for me :P xx
