#3 checking in so evening all, 

I’ve not really paid attention to a few challenges so with me being nearly debt free in 5 payments time I’ve decided to kick myself up the bum and restart some challenges. 

Could I add £10.55 to my savings please!

Hi Everyone

Sorry I haven't popped in for a while, I hope you are all keeping well.

I've had a couple of tight months and had to dip into my Christmas fund, which I usually don't do   I am quite behind this year.  Things are settling down again now so I am hoping I can regain some funds for my pot 

You are all doing really well with your savings, well done   

I've updated the totals page, I couldn't see any new members but please do make yourself known if you want to join the list first page

Thanks for your tips JGB:

And here I am again - #2, now with £730/£730.  I'm now concentrating on saving for 'something special' at the end of next year.  Good luck everybody with your savings.. I've been able to achieve mine purely by using 4 different sources:

• Prolific Academy surveys
• Swapping out Nectar points for Argos purchases (mainly children's Xmas/birthday presents that were already budgeted for)
• Using my 'Nectar prices' discounts and then re-paying them to me from my food budget... between £2 and £4 per week
• Levelling up all of my expenditure on Starling... 4p here and 65p there soon mounts up.

Other ideas....

• Not a big fan of TopCashback, but currently have £36.45 confirmed so that will be in the bag soon....  
• Our NatWest rewards account gives us another £36 (net) every year.  
• Cashback on my Barclaycard Rewards account can be anything from 10p to £5 each month - it may only be 0.25% back, but every little counts!

Good luck peeps!

I was wondering how often and how long the surveys take?

I do use TCB, when I remember! I wait until it gets to £50 and then change it into a voucher I can spend online, only have £3.43 payable at the moment and £11.44 pending. I have car insurance to look for at the end of the month so I might be able to get a bit then.

If anyone else has any top tips for getting extra pennies here and there let us know

Oh thanks for reminding me @kdalwayskint as I work at sainsburys I have £35 in rewards to use and £15 in nectar points to change into ones for Argos!
