lilmissmups £20k in 20mths moving on diary!

Day 13 of 31 and still no heating on though luckily this warm weekend has helped with this

On the NSD front i do not think i am going to hit my total. I had today off work as couldn't get a dentist appointment until 10am so thought would take a long weekend off but they rang me at 9.30am to say some machinery wasn't working so i am now rebooked for 31st and Izzy needs her jabs so that is booked for 25th as get paid on 24th and i spent today at Wilkos and Lidl and tomorrow i am going to the pub to see my friend so that will be a spend day too and if i want to hit target i can only spend on 1 more day this month!

:eek:

I really want to hit the target though....October suddenly seems a very long month, next month i will not aim so high as its actually stressing me out

I redeemed £6.24 from Cashbackkings today, it won't hit my account until Thursday but as i didn't spend at the dentist today i have put that amount in my ISA already so sig updated.

I have also got over £5 on Dooyoo already which is good, its a lot of fun and everyone seems really friendly so far, lots of MSE people i have spotted.

I am nearly at a whole 1% of our house deposit target, i banked the £50 cheque from Itsyourview today so that will be in ISA as soon as it clears, i should have another £30 heading from scratchcards soon so should be at £265 by 20th October which isn't bad considering this month has been tight as only just cleared debts and still suffering from it.

I was planning on November being the month we really get into the swing of things with saving but because Nick lost a weeks wages (as i have paid his half last week or 2) and now has to pay me back a little each week in November its gonna be December before we really get into things though, he is also buying his stepdads old car so that will affect us.

I also really need to get my eyes tested as about 2 years overdue eep

Still hopeful for my £20000 by May 2010! Still early days, plenty of time ahead!

God this is long

Hi Lilmiss,

Have you seen tesco are doing free eye tests and you get 100 clubcard points too. I havent had my eyes tested since school!!

Well done on Dooyoo and well done on the itsyourview cheque, i stopped doing there surveys ages ago i should of kept it up.

lilmissmup

I am £1 on my way to my next cheque too

The 2 Tescos near me don't do eyetests, nearest one that does is 20 miles away, work will refund me for my eye test as i work with computers but still £70ish for new glasses, i want new glasses even if my eyes are the same, been wearing the same pair ever day for 3 years, bit bored now lol.

I am also putting my dooyoo reviews on ciao to earn a few extra pennies though dooyoo is a lot better.

lilmissmup

The £50 cheque i paid in from itsyourview cleared today so thats now in ISA, so i have a whole 1% saved towards our house deposit now

On another good note the £25 query i put in for petguard for Izzys insurance has validated so yay! says payout October so if extrabet finally pays up i might get £50 from Quidco end of this month.

lilmissmup

Did a P***C*** survey last night and got £4 into paypal today

I have £5 in there now only need another £45 to withdraw!

I am up to £8.50 on Dooyoo now and hoping to hit the £10 mark tonight so i can get my 1st Amazon voucher

Got up to £10.10 on Butlins bingo and withdrew today but having issues withdrawing on take a break bingo, need to send in ID so will have to scan that at work tomorrow and send in :rolleyes:

The £10 from Butlins is now in ISA :T Sig updated with total saved, not bad for 3 weeks

lilmissmup
