Me again - I rescued a scratch card from my puppies jaws today. It was a present from my mum and dad for my hubby (we each got one) but he hadnt scratched it and so as over two weeks have passed I claimed it for myself.
It was a winner so I've added another ......... £5 to my savings today.
Not a huge amount but £5 I didn't have earlier

Small amounts currently being added but every penny counts right?
Another £4 paid in to my savings account today from a facebook marketplace sale for some old craft kits I had bought the kids years ago and they never used.
Fingers crossed as I am supposed to a buyer for something else turning up tonight and one on Sunday after madly listing lots on marketplace today so lets hope they arrive.
