    MC .Two days of my week left and i am just about at the £80 mark .This has been very hard work this week ,i have spent many hours listing for what feels like very little reward ,still i have today and tomorrow to try and reach the one hundred mark but still an awful long way to go to the two hundred but im not going to give up ,ten pounds today and ten pounds tomorrow must be achievable

    Last day of the week and yesterday turned out to be very successful .I had a sale on Ebax which pushed my total up to almost £140 so i am really pleased that i passed the one hundred pound mark ,dare i hope for something similar today , quite a big ask to find sixty pounds in one day but im going to give it a go ,this week has definitely felt like hard work but i realy want to reach that £200 which will mean i have saved £1400 in seven weeks

    Week 7 ..Mort O/P £400 was paid in this week making a total this year of £2800 

    Food budget was kept to this week 

    MC .I added this up wrong last time i calculated and didnt make as much as i thought i had ,so just under £120 this week ..Total in 7 weeks £1329 ,half of which has gone in to my ISA  .This week has been the hardest so far and i have given a lot of hours to decluttering boxes and listing and i definitely worked hard for the money but overall the hard work is paying off

    Week 8 .£100 mortgage overpayment made..I am going to put £300 in a week from now on as i am finding £400 a stretch and see how things go ,i might not need all of the remaining £100 so i may overpay some lump sums at random times to make up for the shortfall
