Ready to do it all over again ...

I only need to find another £23 for my brothers fund (the other £350 comes from Decembers wages) and then any other money this year goes into the holiday fund

That's £175 this week from game sales, with another £80 to come when the other two sell, so £255 in total made from my nectar points, I did also spend some on a new duvet cover and a wall bracket for ds tv, loving my nectar card this week

That's an incredible amount of points, BB. Do you do all your shopping / petrol / gift shopping at Sainsbury's and BP? It would take me a decade to save up that many points....:eek:

benbenandme

Nope, don't even do my main shopping there and petrol is either Shell or Tesco's Most of them were from a credit card offer earlier this year, I got £150 worth of points for it :money:

£20 returned that I'd lent to a mate (and forgotten), added to the pot, just £3 to go now to be done with my brothers fund for this year :j :j

Knowing you you will have that three quid for your brother by tomorrow :rotfl:

You were right Beanie, another game sold just after midnight this morning, so that's another £40 :beer:, so £3 into my brothers fund which bring that to £4150 and once I get paid Decembers £350 will be put in to make that up to $4500 which was the target I set myself for the end of the year. This means the rest can go into my holiday find (£37).

So, back to the holiday fund, in total I need to find £1800. This will cover the cost of the holiday, insurance, passports and all the other bits and pieces needed. So far I have £495 of it and I know where some more will be coming from;

Extra tax credits payment - £307
£2 jar - £220 ish
2 months off paying council tax - £298

This will bring me up to £1320 which means I need to make/find another £480. The remainder of the game I sold (£37) reduces the amount needed to £443. Let's see how much of that I can knock off before 2018

Knowing you you will knock of a LOT before 2018

Hi BB, I just wanted to pop on and say I love you diary, I lurked on your previous ones and only found this one a few days ago. Fantastic reading about how far you have come, you are certainly an inspiration.

I'm going to have a look at the shopping apps you have mentioned. I know you do most survey sites but have you tried opinion outpost, I find the surveys pretty good and can easily make around £15/£20 a month, you can cash out at £2.50 for paypal/amazon or its £10 for other vouchers and there is loads to choose from.

Have a great weekend.

And the final game has sold today so that's another £40 into the holiday fund :j :j

I've also received a £10 Amazon voucher from the ice-cream survey I did last week
