Morning,

Nope not much planned for this weekend. I may take a trip to Tropical wings with my OH, its like a mini zoo and has a butterfly house with huge butterflies that land on you. Thats £8 each to get into.

I havent worn the skinny jeans out yet, there really, really low round my hips. lol.

I won rimmel mineral foundation yesterday, i can only use bare esentuals on my skin so i will probably put that on ebay. Make a few quid hopefully.:)

Ive been looking through the courses but not sure on what one to go for yet.

hello.....

Long time since i wrote in here! Ive actually been having a social life...lol:rotfl:

The good news is i have £600 to pay into my ISA before end of tax year but, that will only leave me with £60 in my bank account. So im thinking about asking my parents or my OH to lend me £200 just so i have some money in the bank, as i dont like the idea of my account being empty.

My car cost me £257 for MOT that passed and 2 new shocks. I have put that on my credit card to pay off next month. And i just paid the recent credit card bill off that i put the laptop on and clothes...£560. So im keeping my head above water....just.

Its my friends birthday 2moz and im going out to lunch and drinks with her so really should treat her as i havent brought her anything. So thats about half my £60 gone already 2moz. I have the week off this week and wanted to go some places, so the credit card may have to be used again.

Oh and my friend has just accounced shes getting married mid may this year and she wants argos vouchers so hopefully i can get earning some vouchers before then from shopandscan.

Hello everyone,

Yeap my siggy is right im in £3000 debt!! BUT it shouldnt be for longer than 2 or 3 months max.

Out of the blue i was browsing cars on ebay trying to find an old car i used to own when i came across a car that i really liked the look of and it was ending in 19 hours priced at £6k buy it now. So i applied for a £3k loan and plan to use my £3k ISA savings. So thats what ive done, lucky i got the price down to £5,400. So theres still a bit of MSE in me! I dont pick it up until 2 weeks time when my loan money will hopefully be in my account by then. As im having to wait for the paper work to come through and send back before they realise the funds.

Ive brought a clio 182 cup which is a very hot hatch, very me!:o:rolleyes: The insurance price is the same so no problems there but petrol and car tax is more. And the tax runs out on it this month costing £200 so good job i did get the whole £3k loan as will need money to pay the tax. Its a 2004 plate and only done 18k miles so very well looked after.

Im hoping my old car will get a good price as its just 12 months mot and 5 months tax. But its got bad points to it too, which im hopefully going to fix before selling. The CD player has stopped working last week which i really want to fix before selling and that damn speedo lights.

Anyway to do list for 2day is:

Remove morette headlights and replace standard lights
List morette headlights on ebay (£200 is what there worth)
Buy some CD cleaner try & fix the player
Check water & oil etc on car
List all spare parts i have for my car that i will no longer need
Wash the car and take photos ready to sell
Count coins up & bag up for the bank
Transmit barcodes to shopandscan
Tidy up my very messy room
Dye hair

Evening all,

Im picking up my car on saturday! Yay! I have £3200 in my bank account that so im going to borrow £2000 from my dad so i can pick the car up saturday. Instead of waiting for the loan paperwork to come through, sign send back etc etc. So i didnt actually need a £3k loan at all, i only needed £2k. But i will need a bit of extra cash for the £215 car tax anyway. As soon as the loan money goes into my account i will give it back to my dad.
Then the bank doesnt start taking paymnets until July!!! Im sure i can make £2k by then if not by end of June as my peugeot should make around £1300 then the parts off of it that im selling should make around £300.

I did get a good telling off from the women at work for spending my savings for house. But im happy.:rolleyes:

Afternoon all,

Im just back from work this morning, i did a few extra hours to help out, ive done about 9 hours overtime this week now. All helps!

This afternoon i pick up the car! Yay! I asked the bank for £50 notes in advance when i called them but when i got there they could only give me £20 notes! So the bloke will be counting it for hours! :rotfl:

My 206 parts are up for sale on car forums and ebay. Ive now just got to list the car, i hate selling my cars, i feel so sad when they go!:o My insurance runs out on it at 5pm and starts on the new car. So no test drives, i hope that wont put people off. I hope it will sell for a good price ive had so much done to it, cambelt, clutch, shocks, low mileage etc its well worth at least £2000.

I really need a good sort out and tidy up when i get home, ive got paperwork everywhere, fiances look a right mess!

Morning!

Im extra early this morning, my parents are on holiday so i have to get up at 6.30am just to let the dog into the garden! So no lay ins for me!

I pick up the car and all is well, its mint and i love it!! I dont know why i was so worried about driving it home on the motorways! They were fine, following my OH back in his car made it easy! I was worried that i would stall it when i pulled off from the blokes house but i didnt. I feel much more confident about driving anywhere now! Which is great!

Im getting many questions about my items on ebay and have plenty of watchers and they even end until friday! I still havent listed my old car yet, now i know the new one is fine the pug can go up for sale.

I still have so much to do as i didnt get in until late last night. My bedroom is a mess with paperwork and rubbish everywhere, it really needs a good clean up and sort out.

Todays to do list:

Order a £10 next voucher from shopandscan
Count up coins and bag for bank
Sort out all paperwork and file
List old car on forums and ebay
Put the washing on
Check bank balance
Do free clicks
Do free scratchcards
Check out any bingo offers
Wash & polish new car
Do surveys

Evening,

Coins got counted and i paid in £10 worth into my bank. I sorted all paperwork out, so everything organised again in my file.

My headlights on ebay are upto £110 on ebay so far with 4 days left so doing very well!! i have many watchers on my other items which all end in 4 days apart from my old car which ends in 8 days.

It looks like ive got alot more overtime again this week which is cool!
