    Another £17 today from a bit of MS, I am well over my £5 a day target and may hit £10 a day if I'm lucky as I currently have nearly £100 in Prolific.

    Total 216 for the month so far.
    You're doing brilliantly @outoftheviciouscircle :)

    Can I ask who you do your MS with please?

    Just on £99.69 this month so far.  However, I've been focussing on trying to reduce some of my DD's.  Have switched my energy and mobile phone so far, saving me £39 a month, and I've a few more things to sort.  OH has been doing some overtime, but that will come in for next month's challenge :)

    That sounds like a good idea @Hollie_Hobbie, to be reducing DDs. I like to do that every now and then.

    £10.43  for me today from P/fc.  Might just make my target if I can get another good day tomorrow. 
    Good luck everybody for the last day of the month

    Ooo @Makingabobor2 you are so close :)  you'll have to check pockets, down side of sofas etc, to see if you can find some cash :)

    Some more Prolific, so I'm now on £106.21, so I'm not going to hit target this month.
