Sounds like your doing well!:D £252 for your house deposit is much better than nothing! It will grow in no time espically after xmas is out of the way!
Have you brought all your xmas presents?Make £5 a day JAN £121/175 FEB £283/175:jWeekly Grocery budget of £35! Jan £95.05/175 Feb £37.53/1750 -
Nearly, did most of them using pigsback and amazon vouchers, have only brought 2 present where i had to spend money so far! Need to get my Dad and my Nan something and my OH a few lil bits, also his younger brother and our nephews birthday pressies as his birthday is 27th (already got his xmas pressie from boots using vouchers!) and thats it
Dunno how i would have coped this christmas without MSE! Brilliant having a virtually free christmasNow a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -
Well chuffed right now, me and OH just been to Bingo where i won £120 :j
Got 2 lines and won £20 then got the full house about 30 seconds later and won another £100!
Been going for a few months with my mates and been playing online (where i have managed to win £2000 in last few months as won two big jackpots) but have never won at the bingo hall until tonight so my OH must be lucky!
Now deciding what to do with the money, add to savings fund or pay off credit card!
Bingo was only a quid tonight too so 120% profit :beer:Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -

Right unfortunately the £120 has ended up going on christmas presents!
Got my OH lost series 3 as my nan and dad have gone half on series 2 and that was nearly £45, brought myself a new top for work and a top for my works xmas party that was £35 for both.
Then today i was going to just spend today at home have a NSD but my best mate called me and asked if i wanted to go town with her before seeing a house she might buy so said yes.
Got £20 cash out in town and brought my secret santa present for work £7.50, £2.50 over budget but only thing i have seen that i thought they might like and i had ended up getting the one person i dont like!!! :rolleyes:
Brought 7 christmas cards for £4.50 (family ones) a sandwich and a coke in the pub and have just put £3 into my sealed put in change
Then her estate agent called saying he couldn't meet her at the house so we went to the garden centre instead to look for more pressies for her family and i ended up spending £26! Got my Dad a bird feeder and a bird house for Christmas as he loves having birds in the garden and went to the pet corner where i saw these adorable cat bowls, had 1 in pink and 1 in blue and as i have a boy and a girl cat i couldn't resist and got both but where £5.99 eachalso got them some treats.
So today turned into a very expensive day!!! :rotfl:
Tonight might be expensive too if Same Difference win X Factor as my TV is gonna get thrown out the windowNow a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -

Ooo!
Just had a thought... you and I have about the same amount of debt... would you be up for a challenge?
How about pay off £1,000.00 by 29th Feb 2008?
What do you think? we can tackle this amount in any way you like... overtime / bugeting / freeclicks etc... I'd love to have someone motivate me!
