    Aesop, I am absolutely thrilled for you, that's a great refund, what a great result.

    I found the Swiss equivalent of music magpie which takes CDs, DVD and books. I wish I knew about it befor eI gave all the books away to the local chazzer.
    It pays very little, lowest is 15 rapper per dvd (which is 10 p) but they are gone out of my house and I will get a tiny bit of money...
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Used my boots points and nectar points towards some shopping today so £6.32 saved. This is my 1st month and it's harder than I thought it would be, but a refund from my health insurance and overtime should bump it up a bit. However this has made me look more closely at my spending and I've been shopping about for the cheapest deal rather than convenience so even if I don't hit my target I'll still have saved in other ways.

    Total-£13.74

    Not for cash unfortunately. I know supermarkets and superdrug recycle them for free.

    It gets easier, keep reading, someone will mention something of benefit to you.

    I went to aldi today as we have one opened locally and even DS was surprisedat how cheap our shopping was. He is always with me so learning about budgeting, expensive things, looking for bargains and checking measurements for best price.

    Evening all


    Well done everyone for getting on with the challenge :T I'm sure there will be some super amounts again this month.


    I have £38.19 to add today from bank interest and four surveys :j
    Seem to get screened out of more and more surveys these days - think lots of it is because I don't use my mobile for lots of things :(
    Oh well - at least still going forward this month at least.


    Hope you all have a super Thursday
