March’s Money Making Marathon:£325.65/£500 I am far too tired to even be functioning right now. A day after I decided upon March’s challenge I realised that I didn’t need, or want, to go full throttle at selling everything I own and working myself down to make as much money as possible, that I actually had […]
Competition!
It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to the first From Aldi To Harrods competition! It is a belated 50 follower competition (I’m up to 60 now). The prize is very fitting for my blog, it contains The Thrift Book, a notebook for logging your money making or thrifty ways and a mini […]
Redundancy
Oh guys, this is the hardest entry I’ve had to write. If you don’t know much about my situation I currently work in an office in the mornings, then travel to Cambridge to work in an After School Club, where I’m finishing my Level 3 NVQ in Playwork and where I really see my career […]
March’s Money Making Marathon
Welcome to March everyone! This means that I’m going to Florida next month, which means another big push for spending money. All things going to plan, every penny I make this month will go towards Florida spending money so of course I want it to be a good one. So my target is £500. I’ll […]
The End of February
I know February still has another day left, but for money making purposes I’m declaring February over! At the beginning of February I set myself some goals, so here’s how I’ve been getting on: Make £280 extra this month. £312.66 made, total smashed! BOOK FLORIDA! Done! Flights, villa, car hire, insurance, visa all done! Lose […]
Cashback
I can’t believe that I’ve been running my blog for almost two months and I haven’t written about something I adore: cashback! The idea is simple. A company (let’s use BT for instance and hope they don’t sue me) pay a cashback site (Quidco) an amount of money for each genuine new customer they bring. […]
It’s my Birthday (and there may be tears!)
Happy birthday to me! I had a great day at work yesterday with lots of cake, chocolate, cards and presents, then I ditched Zumba to come home and consume take away. I woke up super early this morning as I’m obviously still 12 so I made a start on my chores, sorted out travel insurance […]
FLORIDA!
Last night I booked my flights to Florida and confirmed the villa Rose and I are going to stay in. We managed to make a major saving on our flights, giving me roughly another £100 to spend, thank goodness! We also managed to get this beautiful villa which ticks everything on my ultimate dream list […]
Free Bingo!
I’ve been reading about people making money from bingo for ages now, which isn’t something new. The problem is if you play your own money in the hopes of winning with no guarantee of a win you may end up losing your own money. There are two alternatives to this. The first is about gaining […]
Cloud Crowd
Total made: £27.66/£280 (need to take postage for one book off this tomorrow) Hi everyone, I am around, I promise! The stark realisation that I won’t have many pennies for spending in Florida has meant that I’m now in a very productive mode and I’ve spent my weekend doing lots of odd jobs to hopefully […]
February
Ahhhhhh, I’ve been racking my brains for days about what to do in February, and I’m still stuck for a challenge. I’m going to be extremely unimaginative and stick with one from January – make £10 a day (so £280 in February) and I’m ashamed to say that I’m still trying to decide what my […]
Here’s To You January
Total spent: £90 – £10 remaining Total made: £593.73/£500 February is just around the corner and I’m therefore declaring the January challenge OVER! What a month it has been. I am insanely proud of myself for sticking to a budget and having £10 left. I haven’t decided what to do with my massive saving of […]
