House move complete - now to focus

Diary


Well the house move finally happened at last, since putting the deposit down in January it has taken 6 months to build and finally move into our new home. Which is so much better for everyone especially the kids.

The next major thing to save up for as well as overpay on this mortgage is our trip to Orlando Florida in the summer of 2020.

So this month has been a couple of trips to London and Southampton again which is great for gaining the cashback through Quidco, i think at this moment there is approximately £317.30 tracked which is slowly beginning to be a steady stream of income to this total. There have been a few other various other purchases that have generated a few extra cashback pounds but its mainly been train tickets, hire cars and hotels.

Still not made an over payment yet but this month will certainly be the first as there is a steady stream of money coming into the bank now.

i have also downloaded an app called shoppix in which you upload pictures of your receipts, each receipt gains you tokens depending upon how quickly you upload the pictures. Every now and again you will win a scratch card to win extra tokens or you can also get offered to take part in a survey to gain extra tokens which i always do. there are certain milestones that get you rewards. 3200 tokens gets you £5, 6000 tokens gets you £10 and 11500 tokens gets you £20. It seems like a lot of effort just to get £20 but as I buy a few things every day the total soon adds up. i will keep a running total on this diary to see how much I can make, after all it is free money.

If anyone reading this has more ideas or would like to share to to make a few extra pounds then please leave a few comments. I would love to hear from you.

Matched betting

No matched betting this time, the football season has finished now so I think I will start to pick this up properly when the new season starts. However there was a casino offer from Betdaq that seemed low risk so I will look at the in more detail.

Tuck shop
I have finally sold all the stock. I have made a profit of £44.92 which I will now use to keep the tuck shop ticking over on its own without having to buy stock out of the mortgage fund. I can finally pay back the £110.16 that I have borrowed to date. any profit the tuck shop makes now going forward will be added to a separate total on this blog. 

Money Saved
I have not managed to save any money this month due to the house move which has literally taken every last spare penny. however the money borrowed for the tuck shop will be added back to this total this month. £110.16

This month was £19.72 from the cashback and interest.
