  • It's been a good month, don't think I will be able to save muchnext month.
    2 items listed on £bay and one relist.
  • Afternoon all.


    Bright sunshine today so I have managed to get a few loads of washing done, have done some general tidying up in the house and I have listed 8 items on £bay.


    We are out for a meal tonight, DH is treating me as it is my birthday next week and knowingme I won't want to go out on a school night so he is taking me out tonight and the kids are off to their grandparents.


    I have decided that as there is still 2 weeks to go in April and that I have hit £700 in hols pot before the end of the month that my new target is £750 for the end of the month, so I have £47.78 to go.


    Hope everyone is ok and enjoying the weekend.x.
  • Happy birthday for next week! Enjoy your night tonight.

    We have had heavy showers off an on all day. Sunshine supposed to arrive here tomorrow Xx

    Hi, enjoying your diary. Well done on savings pot :)
  • Afternoon all.


    Had a lovely evening last night, although drank a little too much vino, so I'm a bit rough today.


    Small sale last night on £bay £4.50, so that needs adding to the pot, also have a few bits ending today which should hopefully make me another £10ish.


    Weather is beautiful, bright sunshine and blue sky, although there is a cool breeze, its getting my washing lovely and dry. I got DH to get the garden furniture out of the garage and We sat outside for lunch, bacon sandwiches and a cup of tea nom nom.


    Need to do some baking shortly for pack ups and I may make a pavlova for tonights pud.


    All quiet here, bit of a lazy sunday really.
  • Another £7 from £bay, and waiting on another £4 to be paid.


    Made some chocolate traybake for packups and I can almost see the bottom of the washing pile:D.

    Evening all, been a busy few days and still seem to have loads to do to keep me on top of things this evening, but thought I would pop on and update.


    Yesterday I made a few more pennies, £5 from p1necone and £5.40 from £bay. I also redeemed another £3 from p1necone.
    Had some spends as well, nipped to post office to post some £bay parcels but postage was covered, nipped into sainsbugs for a top up shop and spent £2.94 but used £2.50 of nectar points and the 44p was covered using 5p and 2p from change pot so nothing out of bank account.
    £100 paid off barc card as well.


    Today has been another manic day at work, have been really good and I'm still taking pack ups everyday, cheese and tom sandwiches today with a yoghurt and apple.
    Another small sale of £7 on £bay and £3 received from p1necone.
    Also redeemed £3 from my survey.
    £18 fuel put in car.


    Also hit the £750 target in hols pot, so I'm now aiming for £775 by the end of the month, this may be a little trickier as I have a couple of bits left to £bay and I'm not going to cash put on any surveys, but I will give it a go as its 9 days until payday.
    Also placed a Mr M order earlier to come tomorrow evening, should come in around £60, but this should be the last main shop before payday.


    Hope everyone is ok.x.
  • Evening all.


    Well the weekend is here, can't believe how quickly the week seems to fly by.


    Mr M order came last night, everything there and came in at £63.


    Made some Tilly tidies last couple of days, so £19 to go to hit £775, redeemed £5 from p1necone which I should get Monday, £8 in bids in £bay and I have relisted a couple of items that will end next week.


    Received 4 kids chocolate h1pp0s in the post for my 2 to test, they have had one each earlier as there after school snack and can have the others tomorrow (few more pennies saved).


    Hunters chicken, cheesy pots and veg on the menu for tonights tea, fruit and ice cream for pud.


    DS has come home with a letter for a geography trip £15 + he needs to wear walking boots, so will need to buy some as he has outgrown the ones he has.


    Hope everyone is ok.x.
  • Morning.


    I'm up with the lark this morning, it's a beautiful sunny day.


    First load of washing has been pegged out and second load is on, I thought it was too early to tip DS out of bed and do his bedding, will be a kind mum and give him until 9am.


    Pitiful tilly tidy of 21p this morning, hopefully some sales on ebay will bump it up a bit.


    Not much planned for today, but do feel like having a good clean up downstairs, walls could do with a wipe down and skirting boards washed.


    Need t have a look at money and see what I have left and whats still to go out.


    Have a good day and I hope the sun is shining where you are.
