Hey Nicki!!:hello:
You must be pretty busy with uni!! How's your budget working out?

NickiM

Work has got really busy at uni which has meant some of my money saving plans have gone out of the window. Not so good. Although yesterday, my brother and I ordered a Christmas present from a lead off this website so that was good. I'm going to make cake later too.

How is your 100 day challenge going?

oh Niki me too totally snowed in with it but i started to get a little grasp on it yesterday and did a bit of library.. just one killer, and one mini killer left! ooh and something else I can't complete untill ive finished getting the results on monday anyways. Hmmm, I want to give myself the weekend off but at the same time I want to try and finish for the weekend so that I can have the stress gone... what would you do lol?
Cinny well done for finally opening the savings account!!
Nikki and anyone else over 18 (I think youre not yet are you cin?) you should totally sign up to the free bingo scratchcard!! I just logged in to do mine (lol after midnight - I'm so sad!) and they gave me £1 in my account, just for it being friday! Seems like a quick easy and painless way to make a few quid a year! (my aim is for £10 per month over 2 sites! - I'm currently on £2.50ish from less than 1 week so I think its manageable!) - just thought you might be interested but if you do join, join today (friday) so you get the extra £1!
Not really done anything moneysaving apart from that, but I now have some cash which I am going to make last me untill the end of term (only thing is that I need to buy petrol...) but I hope if should because i have £60 and only 2 and a bit weeks left! (but I have zero petrol so...) I think I'm rambling... so I'm going to do a little work before tucking into my cold cold (:rolleyes:) bed!

3 months and I will be! planning on signing up to afew when I am old enough.

Passed the £400 in my bank :j admittedly not for long, going shopping this afternoon. Getting some food stuff for next weekend (from approved food) then heading to matalan for some christmas decorations and some warmer clothes. I can tell it's going to be a pretty expensive week. Going to try for a NSD tomorrow, monday, tuesday and wednesday. Thursday after work I'm doing the proper shopping for when we go away, hopefully, unlike when my parents went to Paris, I won't get mistaken for a teenage mother :rolleyes:

Tinkerbel, you should get a hot water bottle, put it in your bed 15 minutes before you get in. Should be nice and cosey by then!!

Woolworths are having an up to 50% sale off everything today, I went in, grabbed some items, walked round aimlessly than left. The things I were going to buy (stationery items) wouldn't have got that much off, but good for kitchen/bathroom stuff.

Got to 800 words of my essay, my aim for today is a 1000 for this one and having started the next one. But I am going to treat myself to lunch first!

Cinny91

Good luck with your essay Nicki!

I've been told the shelves at my local woolies are basically bare, they were pretty patchy on saturday so I'd imagine most of the good bits have gone. I never shop there so feel pretty mean buying from there now they've gone bust.

I was pretty tame shopping today, only spent £15 in matalan, 1 top some gloves for Frank and some new PJs. Got drinks and snacks for next weekend from approved food for £7 and bought myself a book and bits from asda. Only spent £28, thought I would of spent much more!

Now, off to the sofa to try not to fall asleep while watch TV. Making my own tea tonight so I need to raid the cupboards too.

NickiM

There was a lot in stock at mine, but it is quite big. I'm feeling very full as ate a lot of dinner. I had to eat the last bit as it wasn't big enough to save and I didn't want to throw it away.

Cinny91

Buying myself a new dress and shoes for christmas dinners ect. As an early christmas present to myself! :j yaaaay clothes shopping.

*edit*

Just sent off my pigsback points for a £10 topshop voucher. So even though I've spent £17, I've made £10. so it evens out alittle bit, right?
