Very funny Ena...
I applied for a job today, I'll call it "s". I've almost completed an application for another one "C".
I joined B@unts to try and get points for walking/exercise...downloaded mapmyrun and went out to my regular local shopping area. Well !!!!!! me it's not much off a 10km round trip! Also joined sh@pmium as in Martin's email this week. Bought all of the free offers I could find so got a nice large choc bar, pack of crisps and fruit cordial all for free via cashback. Got a YS loaf 65p then went to L!dl (in my defence it was raining and I needed shelter) bought choc biscuits, can of diet pupsi and crackers £1.85. Of 4 purchases, only 2 were on the shopping list
naughty Gonna...sold another bay item for just a few pennies, so posted that off.

Done another 8km walking however it did not log properly, so only got 5 b@unts points. Well at least I'm exercising.
Had an offer for a temp job 6 months - I'll call this one "A", it would be i terview then immediate start, local enough and good money, so sending my cv off for that this weekend.
May have friends over tomorrow, one afternoon and one evening, afternoon has requested lemon drizzle cake! Had to get a bit of top up shopping at Mr T's so spent £7.30 on cake ingredients, some veg and cheese.
Finally "cashed in" £10 of vouchers from Feb, £5 on dibenhams and £5 on amzaon. Cashed in £3 amzaon on swaggy as well, as I want to buy a book for a friend which costs £9.
Found a couple more clothes to go on the bay of flea asap. Loads of bay sales closing tomorrow so hopefully more cash coming my way!

Oh yuk, think I walked too much, felt rotten all day. Lots of nice time spent with friends though!
Made lemon drizzle cake but wasn't happy with it. Spent 5.25 in saino's on cream cakes, diet pupsi and hummus and tortilla chips - total panic buy. Friend then brought a box of eclairs with her- oops! So we just ate and ate cake all day. The Lemon cake was alright so we ate that too.
Loads of bay of e sale stuff closed today, made £60 so need to send that lot off on Monday.

Urgh I'm getting there....possible interview tomorrow so I need to get there a bit quicker. Anyway I had a right good week in terms of raising cash last week, which is handy as I'm going away for a few days on Thursday. I think a break will do me good and I have literally almost earned it/covered the cost with my efforts last week.Jan 20 - NST challenge

I was offered the temp job with "A" :beer::T
Starting on Monday for a 6 month contract. Same money as my last job but much less work:p and less hours!
I've got a confession to make...I've been buying clothes and spending cash...have not even added up how much I spent yet :eek: although everything was needed and was a bargain:D
I had a bad experience at Y@urs clothing, I ordered a load of stuff online to collect. After trying it all on, I only wanted to keep two dresses, however I was told that two of the dresses I did not want were sold at "more than 50% off" so there was no refund or exchange, but I could "sell them on"!!!! after much debate customer services were called who also wouldn't budge, insisting that a small red box with white writing on screen was enough to advise me of this policy when adding to online basket. So apparently I was to purchase two dresses which did not fit me. Obviously as it was online I'd ordered stuff in different sizes to try on! I was totally gobsmacked at this ry@nair style customer care.
The assistant kept saying that "it's because we've sold them to you for less than we paid to buy them" now I know I've done well with the old bay of e lately but I'm not an actual retailer:rotfl:
Then like a ray of light through the clouds, moneysaving advice came back to me....distance selling regulations...seven day cool of period....unseen goods:money: this time I was on the call to customer service for less than 5 minutes, then my order was cancelled and my card was refunded:money:
So once all that was sorted, I then asked if I could now buy the two dresses I had wanted to keep:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:the joke was that the shop then had to give me the "20% off all sale items" discount they were promoting:money::p
So here is what I have bought, I'll update prices later
Jacket £17- half price
Black cardi £3 - half price
T Shirt £4
Palazzo pants £8
Black crepe jacket £19.99
Black high shoes £17 (£5 off)
Stripy dress for work £14.20 (£10.80 off)
Flowery dress for going out £16.50 (£22.5 off)
Two new bras £12 (used points vouchers to save £10!)
Erm that's over £111, but goods to the value of £180Jan 20 - NST challenge
