Starting to Save! - Newbie.

tinkerbel

Aww awesome, you should get youre mum to let her join butlins or littlewoods because you get that friday £1 like I said
Those things you do together are still cute, I love going outside but they boy is more into xbox games and staying in sleeping a lot - maybe its his student thing of laziness. He also has expensive taste, and a penchant for all things new and shiney - especially games and gadgets.
(oooh and when we go to the cinema in fairness we're going on 2 for 1 so it should be ok and still a little bit moneysaving! and we'll probs take our own drink maybe)

Well done with the savings account, I took money out of mine so i deffo have t try and save it back and put it back in! I need £200 for asap lol!
Also, getting my student loan and some mney frm my mum soonish so I can start doing a new budget for this semester - but after exams I think :rolleyes:

Hey again! just had a bit of a wierd evening which included a little nap in the middle of it! but thats ok!
Just had a few wins on bingoport so thats £10 for amazon so far for me which I'll get next week! Still havent picked out OHs laptop case, I want to see it first. I haven't seen him for 2 weeks now and it feels like ages because I've been on holiday and I'm super stressed but I think I'm seeing him on tuesday for a day or 2 so that will be special and nice
Do you live close to your bf?

oh yeah ps I live really close to sherwood forest! how cool!

He lives in Sheffield, only about 30 minutes away by car! Was terrible going to sherwood yesterday though there was one of those 'wide load' lorries so really bad traffic.

It sounds weird but it's actually quite nice seeing OHs less than i used to, we seem to make more of an effort when we do sit each other now. Hope you two have fun, it's nice getting that butterfly feeling back!

Well done on winning on bingoport! Hoping I should be able to send off for my next £10 amazon voucher from dooyoo tomorrow.

Cinny91

Off work today, if I'm feeling better after dinner i might go in but I doubt my Dad will let me. I need the money!

Reached payout of the amazon voucher on dooyoo, although I'm going to wait until the end of the month to redeem it. I might decide to try and get the £50 cheque before then. Will take me months though!

tinkerbel

My things on ebay didnt sell (boo!) and I haven't had a very good day today so I went on bingoport and have redeemed another £5 so maybe tomorrow or thursdays when I have a few days off between exams I can start shopping around as I'll have £35 then, maybe more if I can help it!! I dont know though if I should buy things that i fancy, or save up for Christmas and birthdays, or save up for something massive like a games console or some new boots or something... (assuming I dont have to buuy many textbooks this semester...) or I could sell them on ebay?
Descisions descisions! What do you reckon?
I just never have been that much of an amazon buyer but I could be with vouchers... does slightly limit what you can buy though..... I don't know!!
It would be nice to have something purely bought with free vouchers though...
my mind is all over the place lol sorry.

I think on Dooyoo you might be better to try and get the cheque? or, aim for the cheque but if something comes up that you want to buy on amazon, then cash in £10 or whatever for that and put the money you would have spent in your savings account? Then keep heading towards the £50?

Nicki, hows uni going? and your budget? I havent really started mine but I think im going to get £25 a week in cash out and only spend cash and then if i have any left over, then i get an extra nice week the next week (or I can get out less the next week) I also have loads and loads of food, so not going to buy any for atleast 6 weeks! (except from frech fruit, veg, milk and bread!)!

Hi everyone,
sorry i haven't posted for ages. I haven't really been on here much.:rolleyes: I've started crafting and have two orders for scrapbooks, so its going well. Going to join bingoport etc under my mums name but using my debit card. Should work??
I'm still looking for a job, went to sainsbury's to get an application, they said they haven't got any and to go online and apply via that, i went online it said no vacancies in my area...what was the point?!? :mad: I'm applying at the Hospital. Putting stuff on ebay tommorrow as i need to do the pictures and then descriptions.. Still doing reviews on Dooyou and doing Quidco hopefully should have extra money in my pocket by the end of the month :rotfl:
xx

Jordan - if you want to send me your dooyoo user name I'll add you to my circle of friends then rate your reviews for some extra points. I joined TAB under my mums details and using my card but when I joined butlins using my mums details and my card but I got regected.

Tinkerbel - I think I might do that! I was trying to get an amazon voucher a month so I can just aim to have 50,000 points by the end of may. I spend too much on amazon so if I don't have the vouchers I won't be tempted to over spend (which I always do) I have a £5 firebox voucher too but I'm saving that for someones birthday or if I suddenly decide I really need some tat.

Back at work this morning, still don't feel 100% but still in need of that money!

Sorry, I don't get many notifications for this thread, so I come back and 5 people have posted or whatever. Well, I'm not really with it at the moment, a big shop got bought for me at the start of term. So I am out of sync. I've generally only bought necessity items though like paper or used gift cards. Uni is good but stressful

Cinny91

Added you to my circle of friends and rated your reviews, Jordan! Almost all my usernames are the same too, either Cinny91 or Cinny54. Shame about your mum not letting you join, I have to click straight off after I've done the free scratchie so I don't get drawn in by the flashing images :rolleyes:

Was working out how much I spent this week and how much I've earnt MSE and I'm £16.something up techincally. But it's locked up in vouchers, STP or tab bingo. But better than nothing!
