    Well I have managed my Dooyoo review for today, nearly at £16 not bad really, should hit £50 end of May/first week June.

    I am looking forward to Friday as its pay day and I just wanna clear my credit card and start saving again, me and OH were talking about babies again tonight, I am slowly getting him to be positive about it again and the sooner we have a house the sooner it will happen!

    Hello!

    Yay its the weekend and a 3 day one for me woohoo!

    Got paid yesterday so the overdraft is now cleared, won't be dipping in to it again but will keep it open just incase. Paid of £60 on my credit card too, only £287 to pay by 8th June to ensure no interest on that. :o

    I worked out I have approx £350 spare this month after bills,credit card and overdraft but that doesn't include food, Spencer's annual vet injections and a trip to the dentist for me plus anything else for the month.

    So not sure if I will be saving much this month, would like to save £150 and get £50 from dooyoo as will then have £1500 saved, I should have at least £2200 saved by Mid July from Junes pay and my birthday money.

    My OH owes me £210 at moment, really need the get him onto saving bad wagon again, hes slowly coming round to things, he has had a Vanquis card for 3 months now which I got for him as we need to build his credit rating up as he didn't have one!

    Hes paid it off in full each month and today got a statement with a credit increase to £500 which is good for his rating I think :)

    Managed my first dooyoo review today for 3 days also need to start the Qype challenge for the I want it now voucher.

    Hurrah for a three day weekend! I will be writing some dooyoo reviews in word ready to upload from time to time, I think. Just waiting for miles to validate so I can request payout, so I want to get a good start on the next £50 cheque.....:D

    Morning.

    Quite sleepy but couldn't sleep so up.

    I spent quite a lot yesterday, £100ish on food and alcohol (Tesco and Iceland), £50ish on clothes, £22 on birthday pressie and gift and £8ish on some toiletries.

    Thats my huge spend for the month anyway, did the clothes shopping online though so got £2.33 in cashback.

    OH decided to buy a laptop on his credit card yesterday so another debt for him to pay as well as to me. I am seriously gonna have to start kicking his !!!! into saving as that £20k is looking a long long way away at the moment.

    He does need to use his credit card as we only got it to build up his credit rating but yesterday he got a statement and they had increased his limit so he got over excited :rolleyes:

    Its only £500 so he can't get into too much trouble. Just now he has to pay £430 off instead of saving.

    I am off to a barbecue later although feeling rough had a headache for 2 days now yay :rolleyes:
