  • Still no number!

    I used 4 mini McFlurries with McDonalds rewards and then this months bank rewards and interest.

    This brings my total to £2293.41/£2023.

    I am hoping to pull in a few more payments for side hustle and cash in airtime rewards and Neilsen before we go on holiday on 17th August

    2025 Savings Focus - 33.3/33.3/33.3 split; savings for house renovations (bathrooms/garden/kitchen; whichever collapses first), save for a family holiday (probably our last one!) and paydown/offset the mortgage
  • #62 with a biggish update - I thought July would be good with birthday freebies, but it's been better than expected:

    £1.50 in Tesco vouchers I didn't know I had
    £6 free Lindt chocolate
    £6.15 free Boost smoothie
    £2.35 free bakery item from Morrisons
    £3.50 free chocolate from Shopmium
    £5 Body Shop voucher
    £20.30 free cocktails
    £9.00 free cinema ticket
    £1.90 free sweets at M&S
    £10 free Hobbycraft vouchers (1 birthday, 1 from another promo)
    £15 Hotel Chocolat vouchers (my £5 birthday code never expired so I used it more than once)
    £10 Space NK vouchers
    £15 Estella Bartlett vouchers
    £3.60 free hot chocolate from Costa beans
    £5 Urban Outfitters voucher
    £7.35 free prosecco with Carluccio's meal
    £5 L'Occitane freebie
    £10.90 free shower oil from Rituals

    25p Coop comp win


    £7.37 interest on savings

    £20 Swagbucks


    And then to top it off yesterday I had a call to say I'd won a competition of 2 event tickets and £200 spending money - worth £237 in total. 

    Total for July: £479.12

    Overall total now £1593.66

    (I have also had a promotion and been doing some quite lucrative freelance work, but seeing as that's official earnings I haven't counted them - though my bank balance is very pleased!)
