I don't usually come on this topic but this is the most relevant for what I am trying to do so please bear with me! :) I really want to buy a Kindle for my DH for father's day. We are trying to buy a house at the moment so trying to be really frugal as money is going out left, right, centre for surveys etc. We are not poor but have 'stockpiled' all our savings in accounts we are not touching till the house sale/purchase is all completed.
I usually have about a thousand pounds in my current account as a 'buffer'. But in the last few months, I've paid out for a few house stuff without going into our 'house' savings and it's wiped out my buffer so am finding that I am going into OD at end of month (not good!) so this month, I'm trying to get back into the black by not buying anything unnecessary.
But this Kindle!!! DH really wants it but he won't buy it for himself now and till be a perfect father's day present. So my plan this month is to 'earn' extra money to buy it. So I am setting myself a target of £100. So far, I've:
- Redeemed my nectar card points for a £5 amazon voucher
- Been doing online surveys for money (but not looking great at money as I have £2.70 in one account and £2 in another and they don't 'pay' you till you have accumulated £10 and £40 respectively)
- I have a spare Take That ticket to sell and I think my good friend wants it for her mum, otherwise I will have to think of someone else who might want 1 Take That ticket
- Friend owes me £25 for a sling I sold her but haven't paid me so that can go towards that... Have other baby bits and bobs to sell but don't do ebay so not sure what's the best way of doing that...
So, I have £95 more to go... 
Any other ideas? And who wants to join me (as in if you have a money mission this month!). :)
