Hi all,

Thanks Limiss i hope your right!:)
As all the children are saying at the mo 3 more sleeps! :snow_laug

I dunno about anyone esle but christmas time i love to spend money in myself after ive brought eveyones pressies! Im always the same!:rolleyes: Im doing well so far only brought the coat, ive got my eye on a pair of shoes in barratts online sale that im so far resisting. The january sales are the worst for me though! I love them im down there boxing day in Boots normally buying birthday presents for the year! :rotfl:

Had another spend today £36 on dog food! 15KG so should last a good while. And then £10 on too packs of BLONDE hair dye. The gingerish tint is not fading as fast as i would like so ive brought my normal colour hair dye to dye it back. My poor hair will be dead by the timei finish with it!

Anyway was paid today and my advance holiday money too. So ive put £100 into ISA and im keeping £100 for the sales, although im sure i wont spend that much.

New ISA total: £2100 = £12,100 deposit so far.

I also finally won £5 on the Tombola wonderland advent calender. Im not sure if i can withdraw that or if i have to wager it. I may wager it anyway and hope for a win.

I am looking forward to saving again, had enough of spending

Afternoon,

Im just back from sale shopping with OH, i went armed with the £100 OH gave me planning to buy nice things for myself but couldnt help buying presents for 2009 with it! I brought tones of birthday gifts for 2009 from boots for £30, then perfume for me £7.50 and a top for me £7. So i still have £50 left which im going to put in my account then maybe put in savings. Oh and we brought an ironing board from woolies £3.98!!! handy for when we move out! I think we have all the basic bits needed for when we get our own place now.

OH got a laptop for christmas so i no longer need to buy one! He said when his parents get wireless i can come round to his and do the free courses i looked at ages ago on it! Which is fab!

I need 40p 2moz on the scratchcards to withdraw my 1st £10 at last!

Hi,

Ive had a really lazy day today, i feel super tired and i hadnt really done anything! Must be all that junk food ive been eating over christmas so far. And will still have tones more food and chocolates to get through!

Ive just played the new sun bingo through a cashback site to get £20 cashback and won £21! Yay, so i withdrew quick before i was tempted to play more! So should be up by £41 now if it all tracks properly!

Ive been thinking of what goals to set for the new year and what i want to do with 2009. You all know i want to move out and start a family and thats still top of my list of course!

First challenge im setting myself is to save up £1500 to fill up the remaining of my ISA by end of March. I know this will be hard to do as my car insurance runs out in Feb and i like to pay in full. But im going to try damn hard to do it!

I have done the old sun bingo on cashback before it got taken over by Tombola so not sure if i can do it now?

mariagti

I did the old sun bingo ages ago too not through any cashback site though. This says its a totally new site and all old accounts dont exist anymore. And i got the £10 sign up bonus money alright. And i have a tombola account.
