Phew, almost the end of a busy two weeks!
DD had clubs on pretty much every morning, then my car service and MOT this morning.Yesterday I went through my paperwork container and I’ll be shredding hundreds of bits that I no longer need over the next few weeks.Still at -£53 of the extra £400+ I tried to recoup.I might try and do that every few months to see what I can make. It made me determined and focussed anyway. I still have some bits I can sell that I’ve found so I’ll be listing them soon. Decluttering also helps me so it’s something I plan to keep doing.All money coming in is pretty much going into savings. I’m back on the collect delivery to save me visiting a shop! I’ve got such a strict budget this morning because of the car service. There’s no room for error.When the extra money came in, I got a bit giddy and bought more than I normally would in the supermarket. I need to learn not to do that! I think it was because I was shopping conscious I had more money 😂.Enjoy your bank holiday weekend.🐣🐇September 2017 Debt = £25330

Started to get my decluttering mojo back.I went through some drawers and got rid of a lot of things that weren’t needed. DD helped shred some items but the shredder over heated so will try that again today. We were up to two bin bags full so not surprised!There’s still a lot to go through but now I’ve got the bug again, I’m looking forward to getting stuck in.Need to find £53 today. Think I can do part of it as I’m due in £30.XSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

£34 received today.That’s -£19 for the two weeks target of over £400.Think I might challenge myself every month to earn extra. This months service and MOT need paying for and also the house insurance so I’m going for £350 by the 15th May payday.

Well done on the extra money. Do you do surveys? Quite a few people on here do well with them.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

I’ve just discovered the coupon queen too!
If you’re on TopCashback back then you can upload a receipt with an Easter egg on and get the amount back up to £1.50. I logged in and had nearly £4 in there (had forgotten) so this will take me over the £5 cash out mark.Does anyone else have any other ideas or suggestions? I tutor too but that goes into my business account. I still count it but it’s separate.XSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

I don’t do surveys much now, I just don’t have the spare time, working full time and being a carer for Mr SA. I did have a brilliant survey a few years ago, listening to music for a radio station and saying whether I liked the song or not, got £50 for it. I use TCB and Quidco when I can.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

that sounds like a good survey to do though listening to music!XSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

Morning,
Does anyone use eco eggs? Just wondering if they’re worth switching to
