Baby sale

Last month my sister and I thought we'd do a baby sale at a local church hall. We have so much baby stuff left over and don't have anyone to pass it on to so thought we'd give it ago. Well to be honest it was a total waste of time and we ended up making a loss of 60p haha. We sold £9.40 worth of stuff and then had to pay the table fees of £10. I think we will have to try ebay instead.

Savings

A little while ago I opened a savings account with the same bank our mortgage is with so that I can save up to pay a chunk off the mortgage. Since April I have saved £93.14 which isn't too bad as its only made up from the small amounts left over in my current account each week. I want to get to at least £200 before paying a bit off the mortgage which is currently £76014.96!

What have I spent my swagbucks on

Just sitting here feeding H and thinking about what I've spent my swagbucks on. Well so far I have only exchanged them for Amazon gift vouchers as you seem to get a better rate than if I went for PayPal cash. 
Well I have bought several birthday and Christmas presents with the vouchers. Also lots of party bits for A's birthday, lunch boxes and cake toppers etc. I also treated us to a nice portable hard drive as well as some odd random things I've always wanted like a melon baller and wavy knife!
My next aim is a big one, I'd love to get enough for a PS4 (the new play station coming out later this year!) Me and my husband are both gamers and it would make a great Christmas present to ourselves! So I think they will be around £350 and I currently have £50ish sitting in my Amazon account so that's £300 I need before December! Not sure I will get that much, I would be happy to get half that much actually lol.  I'm not far off my next £25 voucher. I'll have to work out how many SBs I will need to get a day if I want to get the PS4 before Christmas.
Edit: well I've worked out I would need to earn 335 SBs a day to get £300 before Christmas!  I'm lucky if I can get 200 a day so I'm going to aim for 152 a day to get £150 in vouchers.
