    Evening .

    Quick update, I've managed to redeem £3 from a survey site which will take around 10days to hit paypa1 and have also ordered a s0ap and gl0ry gift set from maximi1es using points, this can be used as a christmas present, saving afew more pennies.

    Evening all.

    Very quick update as I'm watching the Olympics.

    Children were returned yesterday and had enjoyed their time with grandparents (great memories being made).

    DD has gone off to her friends house and is sleeping over and DS has a friend staying over here.

    Managed to cashout on 2 survey sites today, which will be another £55 for hols pot when it arrives. Also have enough points on another site for a £5 amaz0n voucher but they are currently out of stock.

    No £bay sales today, its slowgoing at the minute.

    Think that's all from me.x.

    Morning, quick update before I get boys up and take them swimming.

    Made a sale on £bay late last night so £3 to hols pot, hoping to hit 2k by end of month, which is doable if all the survey money owing appears.

    Popping into town later, need to post a couple of £bay parcels and pick some things up for DH for work. Going to drop DS and friend at swimming pool on the way through, then home for lunch and take DS friend home.

    Checked Mr M points and I have enough points to claim a £5 voucher, which I will use off next weeks shopping, it all helps.

    Checked banking, all ticking along nicely, Mr H CC sent me a offer of 0% for 25 months which is great but all my debt is currently 0% except Bcard which is low life balance 2.?%,at least I know there are offers to be had out there and my credit rating cant be that bad.

    Have a good day.x.

    Your holiday fund is looking very healthy pennywise :) You're doing great with all the ebay sales and surveys.

    Thanks sun addict, although id feel that 3bay is quiet and i'm not getting as many surveys as before the summer hols :(. But i'm determined to hit that £2000 mark before the end of the month and if i'm honest would love to have enough money saved by Christmas to book the holiday, it would be a lovely xmas present for the kids.

    So up early this morning and went swimming, decided that this is going to be my thing, I've been umming and arring about doing something just for me, went swimming last week and loved it, so i'm going to try and go every week and have it as my me time. so £4 spent but it felt so good.

    Nipped to supermarket to pick up a few essentials on way home, spent £10.

    £bay sale made this morning so another £5 has gone off to the hols pot.
