Money Fritters 'Enough Now' DFW Diary

Comments

  • It was a good productive today, long may it continue.

    I posted another amazon book, and sold another one. I will have to post that one tommorow or thursday.

    I also joined virgin bingo for the free daily scratchcard, so that was good,

    I also finally got back into matched betting. It was small bet, but it all counts.

    So overall, a good day.

    come on lets get that debt down

    You go for it! :j:j

    I can't believe how much you've got done today, you're so motivated!!

    And you've got your matched betting back up and running again...fantastic! I just wish I had half an idea what to do but it all just goes completely over my head! I've joined 2 scratchcard sites and I get so excited doing it everynight. at least 20p a day for free just totally excites me haha! I won 20p on one of them today and was well pleased...small things! :o

    Good luck for weigh in tomorrow!!

  • Hi everyone,

    BowSki - Thanks for the comments,

    Just trying to get things sorted, I am so sick of being in debt and worrying about things.

    On a postive note today, I got my gas and electric bill and I am over £200 pounds in credit. They are sending £200 rebate. :j. Also my bill is going down from £67 per month to £56. :j

    So I was thinking......

    I am going to put the extra £11 pounds per month into my emergency fund, and start building that up. Also that way I will not spend it, just in case the next electric and gas bill is more expensive.

    The £200 rebate, is money that I did not plan to have, so I am going to put that towards my float for matched betting, so I can really crack on making money and subsequently paying off my debts.
