Had a nice 2500 point survey from shopandscan today, but im waiting for my mobile foodtogo points still, i had a text from then saying there was a problem there hoping to sort it out soon. Which reminds me i still havent received the £10 next voucher from them yet.

Cheeky work missed off 2 hours of my overtime on my clockcard, so i wrote on the card they'd missed it off. Im always having to tell them they missed off extra hours i do. Good job i check esle id miss out!

I alos received £6.50 in tesco vouchers this morning. Not as much as i normally get but better than nothing. Im thinking about buying a digital camera with my tesco vouchers as i have enough and my only camera i have is on my phone and i use it alot which wears the battery low.

Evening,

My loan finally came through this morning, so i paid it into the bank straight away as my dad will be wanting his £2k back in the min he gets back from his holiday...which is 2moz they get home.

Two of my ebay items end 2moz, there at a good price but im hoping for a little more yet!
Theres a bloke coming to pick up a car part 2morrow that ive sold to him for £15.;)

I used all my tesco vouchers up and ordered a digital camera, for store delivery, i should be able to pick it up 2morrow.Yay! I love freebies! It was reduced from £150 to £70 and has 10MP so im very hapy with that!

My foodtogo points were finally added yesterday.

I was paid £27 extra from my overtime this week

Morning!

Well my two ebay car bits sold last night making me £190 without the p&p charges in total but probably only about £170 after the dam fees. But still a good lump of cash. The old car has 4 days left....23 watchers but no bids yet.

Also a bloke from a car forum i go on can round last night and brought another car part off me £15, so no fees on that which is good.

Finally my parents are home, so now i can have a proper sort out with my dog getting in the way or wanting to play ball non stop!:rolleyes:

Evening,

My old car sold on sunday, a 21 year old bloke came and picked it up for the price i wanted of £1500. So i ended it early off ebay and he took it straight away. I was quiet sad to see it go actually!:o
But happy as i now have all the cash back to pay back my parents once the paypal money clears. The loan only went in yesterday! good job my dad lent me the money or i would only be picking the new car up this weekend.

So i didnt really need that £3k loan at all, for starters i only needed £2k in the end as got the car cheaper than advertised and my dad lent me £2k after saying no, no, no im not lending it to you. So now i will have to phone sainburys bank and see how much they want to charge me for early repayment...when its only been in my bank one day!:rolleyes:

But Yay! Im debt free again! and can now start saving again bit by bit.

My shopandscan £10 next voucher still hasnt turned up yet, they say to email them if it doesnt turn up within 5 days, so i emailed them couple of days ago but no reply.

Morning,

Looks like its going to be a hot bank holiday weekend for a change! Im working as normal this bank holiday. So no 3 day weekend for me!

My Next voucher turned up yesterday, and i ordered another voucher this time a halfords one as i need some new wipers for the car.

I also brought my car tax for the year cost of £215 online, i just hope it comes by the end of the week. As the tax on car runs out end of this month.

Im not feeling 100% today, i cant stop coughing and having trouble breathing today. So probably wont be doing much over this weekend. I have been looking online at a weekend away some where, ive found a good little deal at Haven park near Hastings for 4 nights in a gold caravan £160. So Split between OH and i only £60 each.Plus 8% cashback. Its not far to drive either so wouldnt cost much in petrol.
We just want to get away for a few days, plus we didnt do anything for my OH's birthday last week so this would be nice for him.

Another cost i need to pay out for is Microsoft office. I need to so i can start the courses i want to do online, i cant do them without it so im going to hunt around for the best prices online for it.

Also my friend has asked if i want to start a cookery course with her, i thought i sounds quite fun and good for when i eventually move out and have children. Shes doing one at the moment beginners course, so when she finishes that one we will start another Italian course together once she tells me how much it will cost.

Hi,
Your disc usually arrives after a couple of days but even if its held up by the BH their computers are updated so they know that its been renewed.HTH

Thanks smartcat

That trip sounds nice, me and OH are probably going to go camping for a few days in the summer as no beach holiday this year, just worried it might rain lol.

Yay for being out of debt again, how much is the early repayment charge?

Afternoon,

I havent been on a proper holiday for 2 years now, just had a couple of weekends away in Norfolk the last two years. Camping sounds fun, so long as the weather is nice!

We have both booked off the 15th june for a week, we havent booked the holiday yet, but with Haven its best to book really late to get the cheapest price!

My £45 cashback from my car insurance is finally showing as received from quidco from feb!! So should be paid into my account before the end of the month.

A work friend said the have Microsoft Office that i can have for my laptop in return for typing up some paperwork for her, so thats going to save me around £50 plus!

My tax disc and halfords voucher both turned up today. Along with my asda credit card bill for £250.

Im trying to get back into doing surveys, so just done two Pcone surveys so £8 luncheon vouchers on there way.

I can't even get into my PC account these days, they seem to have blocked me without telling me

Yay on money coming in.
