Money Fritters 'Enough Now' DFW Diary
Comments

Hello Money Fritter,
Blimey you have been busy as a bee today. Ironing, good gracious, even I don't do that :rotfl: .
I seem to have done all the housework this weekend. Hoovered all rooms, washed up tons of times, made the breakfast, lunches and teas for me and hubbie, and packaged some Ebay stuff up, had a good last few days :j .
But whats new, me doing all the work, whilst hubbie is watching footie or falling asleep.:mad: .
My eye is still red and puffed up, but it looks more like a stye now than it did before. It looked like I had a round of boxing and lost...
I wrote to Avon and complained about their mascara as my eye went funny after using that. I've even got two photos to show them when they reply.
Anyway hope tomorrow is a good day for you, get better soon0 -
Hi Folks,
Well this morning I got an e-mail from chit chat bingo saying that it was their 3rd birthday. Therefore, I got another free pound, bargain. Also to celebrate their birthday you could have 3 goes on the daily free scratchcard.
So I won 2 x 10p and then won £5, fantastic.
Great start to the day.

Hi Folks,
Hope everybody is ok tonight. Feeling a bit better, but still got a big cough.
Anyway this is just a quick post as I am off to bed.
1) Managed to make £34.93 today from matched betting taking my total on the 'Make £10 a day in Jan' to £235.16.
2) Managed to pay £67.40 off my debts today. Some off my visa bill and some off my overdraft. Some of the money for this was from the matched betting money above.
3) Managed another NSD today taking my total to 9/10. Only one more to go.
Also managed to make a big batch of watercress and carrot soup for freezing for my lunches at work.
Anyway better go now.
Take care

Hi Everybody,
Had a bad night last night and hardly got any sleep with this damn cough. Anyway, this morning before work I nipped to tesco's and bought some Lemsip Max all in one. Tastes vile, but as long as it does the trick I do not care. As long as I get some sleep I do not care. :rotfl:
Anyway, did not play football after work today, had to drop out as I want to get rid of this cold as soon as possible. It is my Birthday on Thursday and my parents are coming to stay at the weekend, so the last thing I want is a cold for my birthday and when they come up.
So instead of playing football I stayed in tonight and watched a DVD. I watched the first eposide of the hogfather, it is a four part adaption of the terry pratchett book. I have read a few of his books, some of them are quite funny.
Anyway I have still made sometime to do some money saving.
1) I managed to save £1.00 in 20p, taking my total to £13.00
2) I managed to save 50p in 1p,2p,5p and 10p, taking my total to £17.98
3) I won 2x10p on the free daily scratchcards today
4) I paid £5.00 off my visa card.
5) I also won £5.38 on matched betting. However, it does not count towards my total for make 10 a day in Jan yet as it has not gone into my account yet.
6) I also did a couple more surveys. I almost have £10 pounds on one of the survey sites now, but have to wait a little bit longer until I can cash it in.
Anyway I think that is about it for now. I really must try and fit in some amazon books. Maybe tommorow.
Take care
Goodnight

Wow! The way you are saving you will soon be debt free, keep up the good work.
Do you make daily/weekly payments off you debts? it might be worth checking if your creditors charge interest on a daily basis, if they do then you could use online banking to transfer across any spare money daily or weekly. It might help a little.Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)0 -
Thanks Tealady,
Great minds think alike, I checked that awhile back and my card does charge daily. So all my payments are paid daily online.

7)For the grocery challenge I managed to spend £91.50/£90 so just over target.
