  • I'm also waiting for extrabet, its been validated, and shows payment in September, so fingers crossed its received. It does say fast payment within 1 month, so lets hope thats right. An extra £25 would be good right about now.

    Lucky you getting the £60 rebate, your accounts department must be better than mine then lol. Useless people they are.

    Its good to hear you are treating yourself Dawn, you def deserve it. x
  • Just checked HSBC account to see if that £3 has turned up yet and i have earned 7p interest on my ISA :p so i will update the house deposit sig.

    I am gonna head to town in about an hour to get my hair done and meet friends after, starting to feel guilty about spending :o

    Done a PC survey today so thats £4 for paypal but unfortunately i am getting billed £35 for a website i made 6 months ago so i have £31 in there and that will all be gone next week, i made the site to put banners/refferrals on but just don't use it so lesson learnt and going to cancel it soon but signed up for 1 year so have to make this payment.

    Also have got a survey from PC to follow up on a sample they have sent me but i haven't had it :rolleyes: If it doesn't show up in next few days might have to pretend it did :p

  • Have a lovely day pampering yourself Dawn, you deserve it. Try not to geel guilty, you have nothing to feel guilty for. You are debt free, and now deserve a treat every now and again.

    Shame about the website bill, just don't forget to canel it when you can.

    Well the tax rebate is now in my ISA but i have spent a lot of cash today :eek:

    £95.40 in Hairdressers (£72 for cut and dye and then i brought some shampoo, conditioner and heat protector for £23.50 :eek: I am too polite, i am gonna make that shampoo last forever :p)

    £37.01 in Tkmaxx on a hoody and 2 t-shirts (had to pay 4p for a carrier too which is good as i care about the environment but i must remember to take my own!)

    £36 in New Look on 1 pair of black skinny jeans, i have wanted a new pair for ages but as i am 5ft1 i find it hard to get good jeans! my old ones got too big when i lost weight and also 2 t-shirts

    £4.66 in Savers on toothpaste and mouthwash

    £2.20 on a pint of coke in pub

    £1.80 on bus

    £8.74 in Coop though i got 4 items that were reduced to 40p then brought 3 magazines for me to read at work next week so i don't go out at lunch and get tempted then got some booze :p

    Oh and £10 on Tombola bingo :o
    So grand total today is..... £195.84 :eek:

    I have put 3 x £2 coins in my money box today though, i had a look round town for a sealed jar but couldn't find one, Nick is going to buy me a Terramundi for Christmas though.

    :hello: Dawn. Just come across your diary. I wish you the best of luck with the saving, will be pushing myself once I have done the christmas shopping.

    I'm going to have to get you into matched betting I think :)

    Yeah at least its better than wasting my cash on bingo! :rolleyes:

    I used to play a lot :o I have had some nice wins though, £1000 once and £900 another time plus doing the cashback sites got me a bit excited again.

    I must stop, i have chucked £25 away on it in last 24 hrs :mad:

    Bad me!!!!
