Diary
So not only did Britain leave the EU yesterday, I think I may well have accumulated the largest amount of money this week.
Its also been 1 year since I stared this journey which has gone quick but looking at the total amount of money saved to date its really going to take a long time to pay my mortgage off.
My mortgage is still standing at £131,951.46 and my average monthly over payment is only £119 a month so according to the over payment calculator on MSE my mortgage will be paid off 6 years and 8 months early which is not good enough for what I want to achieve.
I think I need to put more of an effort into the areas in which I can earn more money, matched betting, trading and Ebay.
The thing I have to remember is that the majority of money made each month is free money, only the money saved is my own.
This week I opened two new bookmaker accounts Sport Pesa and Red bet, Spor Pesa was for a £10 SNR bet and Redbed was for £20 SNR bet which had to be bet on a multiple bet which i'd never done before so took some reading and I found a spreadsheet showing how to lay the bets off one by one. Red bet made £4.92 and Sport Pesa made £7.07.
Betstars also popped up with an email for 2 No £2 bets which I matched for a return of £2.99.
Again this month I have booked some work trips through Quidco, hotel.com and booking.com have both dropped their rates from 10% cashback to just 3% which is seriously going to reduce the amount of cashback I get.
Quidco paid £39.32 this week for work trips back in October.
Panel base reached over the magical £10 which meant I could withdraw the money, even though these surveys are tedious the amount soon adds up quickly.
I sold 3 old Playstation Vita games on Ebay for a total of £14.66 after fees and postage etc.
Also a new total to add this week was my Nectar points added up to £25 so I used the points to pay for my shopping and then used the money for this weeks over payment.
Lastly I claimed a refund for a train journey which if your train is delayed over 15mins you are entitled to compensation. Its really easy to do, just fill in an online form with your details and the journey details and it usually gets processed quite quickly. This is the second claim I have made in the past month although this time the amount was for 50% of the ticket which was £75.75. every time I am coming home from a work trip I am now secretly hoping for a delay. This total will be added to the money saved total.
