:j :j :j My Christmas shopping is now complete :j :j :j

I spent £30 in town today, which i'm very impressed with, and i spent £49 when i got home and bought my sister some curling tongs as an extra lil crimbo gift.

I am in the middle of wrapping gifts, whilst watching X Factor final, go JLS.

Must now sort out finances, update spreadsheets, lost track of money today.

Also spent my boots points on xmas gifts, thats why i only managed to spend £30 in town.

Hopefully by the end of the night i will be able to cross off everything on my list

I'm happy to report, ALL Christmas pressies are wrapped, apart from the little stocking ones i've got for my OH which i'm taking away with me and wrapping when we get to America for him for xmas morning :j

Finish off all my Christmas shopping on Saturday DONE
Get all presents wrapped and under tree DONE
Sort out my finances properly and file everything away DONE

My new list for Sunday:

I can already cross one thing off my list, i have done the cleaning :j

Right onto Dooyoo and Bingoport. I was hoping for a NSD today as my OH will hopefully be paying for the meal later when we go out with friends, he got a big crimbo bonus, lucky thing. However, just bought a song of Itunes for 79p so thats my NSD gone. Bought James morrison ft. Nelly furtado - Broken String - great song. I was tempted to buy Alexandra from Xfactors new song, but thats another 79p lol. Will prob buy it later knowing me.

9 days until my holiday, soo excited. Like a big kid. I've never been away from my family at christmas time, its going to be hard not being here with them, but i'm sure i'll be having too much of a lovely time to America to miss them too much lol.

Morning SA well done on the Xmas wrapping.

I have had most my presents for ages but haven't wrapped a single one :eek: I WILL do some tonight.

Well done on Dooyoo, I am half way to the 50000 points to get cash amounts so really hoping I can hit it before Xmas even if I don't get the cash.

Whats Bingoport am I missing something exciting?

Hi Doodledo, I really need to be in the wrapping mood to get them done, luckily i was last night, sat on my living room floor for hours, presents and wrapping paper all around me lol, was great putting them under the tree, it took me hours to make them all look pretty with the bows etc.

Good luck with Dooyoo, i really hope you make the 50000 before christmas, it would be great to get a cheque in the post after New Year for £50.

Bingoport is nothing great really. Its a lot of hard work to get the Amazon vouchers. If you don't win, which you hardly ever do, you will be there for months trying to make £5 lol. EDIT: forgot to say Bingoport is a bingo site, where you play free slots and bingo. The slots are the most fun

Thank god Monday is over, i hate Mondays! Four more working days, then two lovely weeks off work :j 7 days until holiday too!!!!

Today i checked Dooyoo and i have 15000 point available to be redeemed, so i did that, so i should get a lovely £15 voucher on Thursday/Friday. I gave up with Bingoport in the end, seemed like so much hard work just for £5 voucher. Today i did the Hotdeals offer via Facebook and earned £2.50 for 1 minutes work, fasted £2.50 i have ever made. My mate did it for me too, so i made £5.00.

Time for me to put a breakdown of my debt for November/December:-

Kays - £530.46
Barclaycard - £573.81
OH - £1,300

Total -£2,404.27
:eek: I have added to my debt by £17.51 - not much, but i bought a few xmas bits from Kays for cheap.

Will only be able to pay £100 to Kays when i get paid in December, but hopefully come January i will be able to start chucking more at it, holiday has cost me a fortune.

I woke up at 3am this morning, its that great time of the month again, that us ladies just love :rolleyes: in alot of pain. However, because i couldn't sleep i joined Butlins bingo for the scratchcards. Deposited my £10, and played 2 free scratchcards, withdraw my £10, and won 20p lol. I must remember to play my free scratchcard everyday.

Right, off to get ready for work, i really do not want to go in but i have too!!

Its been a bad couple of days with me spending money on carp :mad: Yesterday i forgot my lunch, prob because i had all of 2 hours sleep the night before, and had to buy my lunch, and ended up going in Marks and Spencers and spending £22 on food. No no wasn't just on lunch, that would of been one big lunch, i bought bits for dinner me for and OH and bought some wrapping paper. Then today, i didn't make lunch and had to buy it again, that was another £7.99 spent, as i went to Cafe Nero, got a coffee, toasted sandwich and a yummy cake :rolleyes:

So far made 30p on my scratchcards. Yesterday got 2 free scratchcards and won 10p each time, and today just got another 10p :T

I haven't been able to get my butt on Dooyoo for the last week, but checked my account today to start doing a few more reviews, and saw i've got another crown :j yay!!!

Two more working days until two whole weeks off, how good will that be and only five more days before holiday

I get paid on Friday, which is a week earlier than it should because of Christmas, so i'm hoping its not all gone by the end of December, and have no money left for January. Thats the only thing when you get paid earlier, end up spending it sooner.
