Hope is not an Effective Financial Strategy

2p TT to start the day off alongside sending a £5.94 quidco payment to the mortgage.

Another NSD yesterday for the 2 of us and then managed to make £60 MBing last night. So i'll throw that cash to the meal and beer fund on Friday night.

3p TT for yesterday and £1 today. Weekly TT pot sat at £3.04 so dispatched it to mortgage.

New week off and running!

Woot, every little helps.

Hope the spa was lovely and relaxing?

Hotel was fantastic. Lovely setting, sat in front of coal fires drinking and eating ! Made better by the fact that when we checked out they'd missed loads of the bill, and I reckon about £75!

Saturday was back to normal with football, swimming lessons and then Mrs SJ on a night out so I was babysitting. Also spotted that DS2 has shingles! But thankfully it isn't bothering him at all. Today as spent working, MBing and taking boys trampolining.

Just 3 weeks left in work and more specifically 14 work days!

Sold another 6 items on eBay and my MB profit for the month so far is £385, so heading for a £400 month.

Started the day with a 26p TT, and with 2 days before November accounts posting i had a sneaky peek at the spreadsheet! Happy to report that we will definitely be ahead of the November target of £101,000, and on the final stretch of the 100k's....! I'm hoping Mrs SJ will be as excited as i am about dropping a digit off the front!!

If Mrs SJ isn't, I'm sure you'll get support on here. You're nearly there!

Wow, I didn't realise MB could be so profitable...

She should definitely be excited! It's a huge shift mentally, owing only 5 figures - I'm still enjoying the feeling several months later!

shangaijimmy

Thanks both. She will be excited i'm certain of it!

Made a cheeky 10p TT this morning, so the pot for the week is only growing very slowly! I'll be lucky to hit £2!

As for MB it is profitable but only after a concerted effort to stay in for the long haul. I made about £1000 in 6 months and then £4k in the next 10 once i'd built up a certain amount of money to do lots of offers, and experience which brings discipline to things! Last nights football for example made me £16 from risk free methods. So i either ended up breaking even or making £16. Fortunately Man City scored a very very late winner! Overall it has become a bit of a hobby of mine!

Day off today but have a poorly DS2 with me. Rotten cough and cold to go with his shingles!

Kittenkirst

Oh poor little mite with shingles and the cold/cough!

You do make MB sound very appealing...I have some info on it which I keep reading over and over again but still haven’t taken the plunge!
