The ultimate incentive to get debt free, can I do it by New Years?

Morning all, Hope everyone's ok and over the Monday Blues now. It's payday today so that eased the pain a little for me! I'm starting to worry about my April ISA target now though. After my January savings direct debit and some quidco money which has just been received I'll be about £950 short, with only two pays between now and then... Hmmm.... Few more NSDs are in order I think!!!

Morning all. This is some kind of January blues in here, Cinny is spending like it's going out of fashion and Tete is getting all wibbly on the savings target. You can both do it!

Have come to work and have already caught up all my work from the last 2 weeks. I have a couple of reports to write, and when I do that'll put me at a staggering 3 cases currently on my desk. Compare this to the 58 I had a year gone November and the exact state of the credit crunch suddenly sounds out loud.

Going to the art shop at lunchtime, need a second paintbrush, trying to paint with just one is madness, especially as its about 5mm so not thick enough for backgrounds and not narrow enough for fine work. Have a list of things I need that being off has deprived me of. These include blusher (not getting until tomorrow so I can get it free on Boots points), some supplies from the art shop and I need some padded envelopes as I have none at all left to send my ebay items out.

Have about 8 parcels to send at lunchtime too, still another 20 or so left on ebay that have paid that need to go.

My to do lists are going to be significantly smaller now I'm back at work. Todays is:

• Finish the painting for OH
• 3 Dooyoo reviews
• Wrap the rest of the parcels
• Free scratchies
• One poll
• Mi-info
• Daily surveys (now OH internet is broken I have to do them again )
• Buy cat insurance
• Do Barclaycard letter now I have the info off my work computer.

Oh dear. That's not really shorter is it?

Oooh just got a £5 voucher for No 7 cosmetics off the bulletin board at work, might make my blusher free! Chuffed with that

We'll not say wibbly until all the money transfers have completed over the next couple of days and I can see properly where I'm at.

I'm off to boots at dinnertime too, cleaned out my purse over the weekend and came across a load of money off coupons which I'm going to have a look at. I have one of those £5 No7/Ruby & Millie vouchers, but also a 500 points when you buy R&M coupon - I wonder if I can use both together? And then I have the double points coupon, which I guess you can't use with the 500 points coupon?? Maybe I should go on the boots board!!

I'm not spending anymore, promise! I even cancelled all my weekly tempting asos/topshop/boohoo emails. Check me out.

If you don't get the blusher I'm sure I'm getting one free with my magazine subscription, it's maybelline minerals and I doubt I'll use it (I blush easily, I don't need to add to it!) so if you're still pining for one when it comes through it's yours if you want it. Could be up to 28 days though I think.

Your list is shorter in a way, at least you've knocked off the 50 stp tracks and 30 ebay listings.

Is it dinnertime yet?

Tete_en_l'Air

Nearly...!!

Ooooh they'll eat you alive! That said it's worth asking. I'm too scared of the Bootsers to venture back over there. I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow to go when I have my boots card, forgot it today because I have my smart handbag not my scratty shoulderbag I have been using.

It's been nice knowing ya!
Try it, if it's a self service it'll just bleep that you can't use it with another voucher. And if it's a proper till I just brush it off with a 'worth a try' if it doesn't work.

I think I have a little bit of boots-er in me.

Thanks Cinny that's really generous.

I'm hungry too, have my tuperware of creamy pesto pasta and veg sat waiting for the microwave.

OH is poorly today, he thinks he has food poisioning. I swear that boy is sick on a weekly basis, his stomach seems very dodgy!

Self service in Boots? Lol we don't have that in my little market town, I'm always amazed they have tills not a cashbox under the counter!
