    Morning all and well done to those who are off the mark with their savings 😊

    Each of us have a number (see post 2) so when you update, please mention your number in bold so I can update the totals. 

    Thanks all and have a good week!

    #5 here - I've opened up a new savings account and transferred £10 to cover last week and this week. Money came from cashing out £10 of Asda Rewards into a voucher at the weekend (points for the voucher were accumulated from mid Dec onwards, so relatively new)

    I suppose I should do some surveys or something to try and get more free money... 😀

    If you haven't already done it, sign up to Prolific. Studies on there are amazing and you can earn quite a bit. Its a faff signing up, and sometimes there is a waiting list, but it is well worth it.  I've been on it 2 and half years now, and made just over £2K.  Just need to remember that if you make more than £1K in a tax year, you will need to declare it though. 
    Making the debt go down and savings go up

    LBM 2015 - debt £57K / Now £28,744....its going down
