    Thank you so much the madvix ,thats great praise coming from you as you always do so brilliantly week after week 

    I have spent hours and hours this week trying to make money or save it in any way possible .I have done lots of surveys and lots of listing bits and bobs and so far it seems to be paying off thankfully

    So here are week 10s numbers 
    £250 in to PBS ..Total £2500
    £250 in to mortgage overpayments ,..Total £2500
    Overall number this year so far £5000, i am so very excited about this number

    Make £14 a day challenge finished the week at £135.44 plus £883.04 so far this year and the total is £1018.48 !!And yes ,i have passed the one thousand mark and yes i have spent some .I have bought lots of new plants for my garden .I have three gardens within my back garden all designed differently so lots of plants have gone in to one garden and another has been partly dug over now for vegetables so quite a lot has been spent on that and now all i have left to do is buy possibly two D.A . Roses to go over the arches .I will count up what i have spent later but i am very happy with what has been done so far

    Well week 11 has been and gone and here are last weeks numbers
    £250 in to PBs 
    £250 in to Mort OPs 
    Total so far this year £5500

    Save £14 a day challenge was at £1018.48 .I only made £16.83 over the week which wasnt good so i must try harder this week .The total was £1035.31 but i have spent around £150 on seeds and plants so money remaining is now £885.31 .how lovely it was to have the money there to spend on something nice 

    Decluttered around 40 things this week which was needed as i had missed a week or two

    Week 12 numbers

    £250 in to PBs
    £250 in to Mort OPs
    Total so far this year £6000

    Save £14 a day seems to have lost its momentum as i have been doing other stuff non money related trying to start up another little sideline so money this week was £28.11 so not very good , still overall number now stands at £913.42 .I have decided to put £900 in to our ISAS so that will leave me with £13.42 

    Decluttered 2 item
    NSDs 2 

    Overall i am really happy with these numbers and as always extremely grateful for what i have

    I thought i would do a little round up as we are in week 13 and one quarter of the way through the year 

    JANUARY TO MARCH 
    £3250 in to PBS 
    £3250 sent to Mort OPs 
    Total £6500 so right on target and so pleased too to have achieved this but all down to my wonderful husband who is working lots and lots of overtime as usual 

    My make £14 a day challenge has been really helpful .I have worked really hard some weeks to get there but i am very happy with how i did .We were able to buy plants and seeds for the garden and put £900 in to our ISAs

    Week 15 numbers which was last week 
    £250 in to PBs 
    £250 sent to mort OP 
    Total then was £7500.Very happy with that number 

    The make £14 a day worked out really well last week as i made £116 over the week which i spent on two David Ausxxn roses and more vegetable seeds .We have repotted all our seeds ,they are all doing really well apart from the butternut squash that did absolutely nothing ,fingers crossed we will be able to feed ourselves for months with all the salad and vegs we are growing ,just hope the snails dont get them !
