    good evening all :hello:

    I have been accepted for the First Direct account, so although the £100 won't be credited for a while I'm counting it now as money in the bank so to speak.
    Debt at LBM July 06 £35,908 :eek: now £2,250 ish

    I posted on the November thread that i had won some tickets for a cinema première and wasn't really sure if this meant just the first night at your local cinema or a big première. Finally got hold of the company today and they have offered me a cash alternative of..........................................£150 :j:j:j I couldn't believe it!!! I was thinking £20 and at the most £50 so i am delighted, I have decided this is going to be put away to go towards our 10th wedding anniversary treat in July. And really that means I have made my target for this month, but I am still going to carry on and see how much more I can make. What a lucky month for me money wise :D

    Congrats Batgirl!! :T

    I haven't really got in the swing of things with the challenge this month. But...I have been in touch with payroll over a mistake with my pay over the last few months. They agreed with my figures so I should get an extra £250 at the end of the month! :D

    I've also been doing daily clicks, piggying and signed up to Ipsos (after hearing positive reviews on here). Sold a book on Amazon today so will update figures tomorrow once I know how much postage will be.

    Been busy today, but still done a few bits and bobs:

    £7 online survey (think I might have fudged the screeners ever-so-slightly to get into that one: "Do you have investments of over £50k?". Yeah, coz my debt has been an investment in my financial education, right?!!!).
    £90 cashback on car insurance (won't count it though, not tracked yet!)- fully comp insurance, 2 drivers, £157, so after cashback, £57. Fab!
    £70 cashback for switching gas/elec (not counting either as not tracked yet). A blatant cheat, just for the purpose of getting the cashback - as we should be moving in about 6-8wks, there should be just enough time to do the change, then clear off! My bad.

    So, today £7/£10. Month so far: £223.09/£100.
