FIRE Through The Mortgage - MF by 55 - LATEST

Firegirl

I've looked at some of the threads and I tried swag bucks. Man oh man it was painful and slow.

My main way I've been making extra is on eBay at the moment and I quite like it. I find it a bit like gambling in a positive direction. I have 18 items listed and one 1 has a bid on:0(. I also save all the money in my PayPal account that I've spent on postage. So even if I sell something for a few pounds I keep the £2.80 postage in PayPal to go to our mortgage.

Anyway today has been a big spend day. As usual all on food. Bought me and a friend breakfast and hubby had a terrible few days in work and it was a necessity he had a manly steak and chips!

Never mind- can't be good every day:0)

Manly steak and chips

I know what you mean about swagbucks - I joined last year some time because of a voucher that Martin wangled for us - I don't have my phone enabled to do all the app things, so it was all terribly slow going, quite ridiculous - got a few Amazon vouchers and gave in.

I like your description of ebay - thats true!

Ok, so this dairy is quickly becoming an example of what not to do!!!!!

£70 on kids prescription sun glasses. Could bare to let him wear normal sun glasses for 2 weeks sunny holiday when his eyesight has improved so much. Paid with cash back card so there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Will get paid £80 for overtime this month which will offset that. The bonus is I didn't have to work to hard and got paid for 3 hours flat day rate when I only worked and hour and a half.

Skipped another mocha today so transferred another £2 to mortgage savings account.

Hope your all have a good weekend!!!!

Does anyone know how much it is to send an item to Canada that would cost £2.80 to post in the uk by Royal Mail.

Forgot to tick uk only. This is wary to much effort for £2.50!!!! Lol

No, but I use the Royal Mail website if I get stuck.

Hi just wanted to pop in and say welcome and best of luck with the new diary

Firegirl

Yeh I just couldn't work it out on Royal Mail so I'll just pop to the post office and do a double trip.

Thanks new girly - looking forward to looking back on these early days and thinking, it was all worth the effort!!!

Bought my hubby a coffee cup flask for Father's Day. He'll get more use out of it, and he'll love it. It will save a lot
More cash him having one than me. I'll try his out and buy one if it's good!

A Father's Day pressy that will pay for itself!!!

Did well on eBay this month.
