its easier of course as i dont work so i have a lot of time to list ,buy ,sell ,shop do surveys etc 

My DH always says that I earn more than him- he goes out to work but I work at home holding the purse string tight and making sure it's not spent on unnecessary c***

Thank you Martas ..That is very true now but not over the course of maybe 20-25 years whist the children were growing up ,still ,i enjoyed those years immensely and very lucky that i could !!

Thank you savingholmes ,i am feeling very pleased with myself 

I now have £115.16 in my MC pot . I am hoping to add to this today after ive done the last shop of the week for today and tomorrow ,i am hoping i will have at least 15-20 pounds left over ,we shall see but only today and tomorrow left to reach that £175 goal

Week 11 has finished and i finished the week with the following numbers 
Mort OP made at the start of the week of £300 making a total of £4000 
MC this week was a brilliant £205.99 making a total of £1964.61 in to our Isas...I worked really hard again this week and sold two lots of my own personal jewellery which really helped plus my husband cycled due to the good weather and saved on diesel plus we had quite a bit of our food budget left over due to using up bits and bobs and Olio..Very happy with this weeks numbers

Thank you themadvix and savingholmes ..

Nothing to report yet this week but im hoping that i can continue in the same vein as last week ,cycling to work while the weather is great and saving on food by making sure we have no waste and eat everything .And if i think we cant eat it then freeze it ! Thats my husband cycling to work not me ,poor man he will be exhausted at this rate .Oh well only six or seven years left until he retires 
Just over a week until i start my new job . i have to think where i shall put this extra money ,i may just put it in to PBs ,i shall see .I have someone coming today to look at some things we have to sell so i am hoping for a good evening for the MC

I had a good weekend in respect of the MC ,i have passed the £250 mark with almost four days left this week so next target is now £300.

Food budget is still well under control ,i have only spent just over £18 this week and will go shopping today hopefully for the last time this week .We have lovely bread for lunch today from Markx and Spenxers from Olio ,absolutely delicious

themadvix

And M&S on Olio? Very nice!
