Hi!
I've been offline for a few days enjoying some family time, but money saving/making has still be happening in the background.
Positive Money Actions since last post;
1. Sold 4-5 more things on ebay/shpock. Again, all money, minus fees and postage has gone into sinking funds.
2. I had set myself targets for 11 sinking funds to be topped up in June and so far, I have hit the monetary target on 5 of them.
3. Was gifted a 5 pack of brand new vests for DD1.
4. Have completed 1 mystery shop and have booked 3 more for next week.
5. Found another household saving (£10), and have sent the equivalent to sinking funds via online banking.
6. Have been listening to an audio book called $1000 project for motivation.
7. Had a cheap day out to a local farm and park for £10 yesterday, and if we keep the receipt we can visit again, free of charge before the end of June, so we will have to do that one of the weekends.
Things to do;
1. List 4 more items for sale
2. Update one listing to try to get it shifted
3. Continue with surveys
4. Continue with competition entries
5. Get back to some typing work to bring in extra £
6. Meal plan and shop for week ahead2022 Target - Reduce new mortgage balance after house move - Part 1 (Ported) Starting balance £39,982.12 currently £37,242.19 Part 2 Starting Balance £101,997.88 currently £96,197.38 (as at 19/04/2022)0 -
Not much to report this week I'm afraid, but I have managed some small money making bits.

Sorry for being AWOL again for a few days, apparently 2019 is not my year of health, as I have been unwell again for the last few days.
It's something I need to think about, as no-one else in the house is becoming ill, so I need to have a think about how I can improve my diet/exercise/rest routines going forward.
On the money front, it has naturally been a little slow, as frankly I couldn't be ar**d.
Positive money moves since last post
1. All 3 of my Mystery Shops have been signed off to be paid, but the money won't come through until June, but when it does come into the account, it will be moved to sinking funds.
2. I have completed the product trial I was sent, again, money pending.
3. Continued with a 5 week survey, currently have £13 pending for answers submitted so far, but money is only paid at the end of the five weeks.
4. Listed a couple more bits online for sale.2022 Target - Reduce new mortgage balance after house move - Part 1 (Ported) Starting balance £39,982.12 currently £37,242.19 Part 2 Starting Balance £101,997.88 currently £96,197.38 (as at 19/04/2022)0 -
