That’s fantastic, I feel very embarrassed I have not made any effort to make more money lately so I think I’ll start again, you are doing amazingly well!

Ah thank you newgirly ,i have to admit that all these things do take up a lot of time and often i spend ages sorting ,taking pictures and listing when i should really be out doing nicer things ...I think its also thinking about my poor husband who works so hard every day and im trying to do it for him too which definitely helps to motivate me

 week 7 has been and gone and here are my numbers

£250 Mort OPs
£250 PBs ..Total over 7 weeks £3500 and still on track to get close to £30000

Decluttered 7 things 
NSDs 2 ,thats not so good ,too much spending this week

Make £14 a day challenge ended the week at £108.85 so overall i am at £718.85..which again i am very pleased with but it has been quite hard this week and fifty pounds of that was survey money so the other £58.85 was quite hard going .

Food budget was only slightly over .Now on to week 8 ,the weeks are flying by

Where does the time go? Half wat through week 8 and £250 in to PBs and £250 paid this morning to the mortgage .

So far only £18 in the make £14 a day challenge so way off that target at the minute but i need to stay positive , i still have four more days left to find it so fingers crossed that i can find £80

Hey TH, I've just found your new diary! Good luck with the challenge - not dissimilar to mine (although you've got a bigger target!). It looks like you're doing brilliantly so far though.
