    * Last night I used my loyalty card for my exercise class, so saved 60p - card did cost £5, though, so I need to go a bit more before I actually save money
    * Received my NUS card! I went for the 3 year option, so loads of discounts for ages:D
    * Got £2.50 in Walkers vouchers for a complaint
    * Will try and have an NSD

  • Hellloooo. I am a shiny happy NB today. The sun is shining and my day couldn't really improve.

    *Yesterday was a NSD which is impressive to say I went supermarket shopping. My lovely Mum paid for everything as a thanks for taking her so I'm glad I was being good with what I put in my trolley!
    * Storecupboard dinner with tea provided by work and water from the cooler.
    * Charged the camera battery at work.
    * Clicks, bank and surveys are all done. Just waiting for Quidco to appear in my account.
    * And the best news of all, a potential £1000 payrise from next month (dependent on the board ratifying it). I've only been in the job since May but had a glowing appraisal this morning. They're also planning on shelling out for me to go and do some IT courses and a marketing course at Uni. I feel so loved :)
    (Urrrgh, that banana I've just eaten wasn't very ripe...)

    Anyway, to do:

    * Book an eye test. Been putting it off for too long because of the cost and someone puffing in my eye. But it could be one cause of my headaches so I best go and get it done.
    * Today won't be a NSD because I'm going to watch some lovely footballers tonight. I'll try and make it as cheap as possible. (Could trade my OH in for a rich footballer fr'instance! :D)
    * Keep working hard this afternoon to justify the proposed pay increase.
    * Get some washing done!

    I hope everyone has a happy Tuesday!

    Well I managed a NSD yesterday, which is excellent news as I am very short of money this month. I've sold another game on Amazon and have another confirmed sale of ebay.

    Other than that I've:
    • checked on-line banking
    • bought breakfast and lunch to work
    • set tonight's dinner off in the slow cooker
    • updated my credit card spreadsheet
    Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30
