Shopaholics Debt Diary

shopaholic84

Not really much to report, but thought i would drop by my diary and let you know how i'm getting on

Today i received my £10 from Bingoport from Sunday when i redeemed them, but i didn't get the £10 i was expecting from Dooyoo. I only requested the voucher Monday, so maybe i missed the cut off date. Not had an email saying i was unsuccessful, so i will leave it 10 days like it says, then i will chase them. I have enough dooyoo miles to redeem again, so i willl do that tomorrow :j i am just playing bingoport now so hoping to make at least £5/£10 for next week.

I now only have £12.34 to last until payday next Friday, i should be okay as i have nothing really to buy, apart from lunches etc, but i can do without lunch. Tomorrow i will be paying the £100 for Kays payment. I really wish the payment date wasn't so early, could do with the £100 to make the most of all the offers the shops have on at the moment.

I now have £36.28 in my Amazon account - yey!!!!

I worked out yesteday on the bus how much i need for Christmas presents, and how much will be bought using free Amazon vouchers/boots points, and i only have to find £122, very very happy with that. God bless Dooyoo and Bingoport, you have saved me loads!

Right, off to play bingoport, my body can't bare write anymore reviews xx

Upto 5,052 on Bingoport so far, another 3,000 to get £5 voucher, i'm hoping to make £10 by Sunday to redeem.

I have just spent £11.75 of my Amazon gift certificates on a gift from Paperchase via the Amazon website. Thats a gift for my OH's mum, just need to get her something else now, may get that from boots using my points.

I'm lovin' free gifts - woohoo!!!! I only wished all the gifts i buy this year were free lol.

Right, off to make Kays payment, that will make my debt £2,376.39

Didn't make Kays payment last night, but i have just done it now, so its gone from £493.35 to £394.33 woohoo! i cannot wait until this debt is gone. I may get £10 cashback from that payment, so might use that and buy somebody a crimbo pressie from the catalogue using it, bit tight i know, only spending £10 but its a gift and it will be as well as something else.

This weekend i have spent a big fat ZERO - woohoo!!!! I have some money for next week because i didn't spend this weekend.

I also received my £10 dooyoo voucher on Friday, so thats upto £34.53 now - yey!!! I'm also on Bingoport at the moment trying to earn some more points for vouchers, nearly upto £5. I must also write 2 reviews to make my £10 on Dooyoo this week. I'm not in work until 1pm tomorrow, so i have until 11am to write reviews/bingo port.

Friday is payday, i'm sooo looking forward to it. I can then work out my pay for December, and how much i have to spend on Christmas presents/holiday spends. I think i also get paid early in December, around 20th, which is going to be a struggle to not spend it all on holiday, and have zero in January.

Just been naughty and spent £76.62 on Kays website. I said to myself i would never use that catalogue again, but they have a GREAT 3 4 2 offer on for xmas, and some of the bits are really good, and cheaper than High St stores. I bought 3 bottles of perfume, Gucci, DKNY Red Delicious (for me as i love it) and Hugo Boss Women (which my sister loves), so my sister will get one of them as an extra xmas gift, and the other 2 are for me, i love perfume, so a bargain. I also got 3 more xmas gifts in the 3 4 2 range. My secret santa gift, i thought i was going to have great trouble trying to find something for my secret santa, what do you buy your MD who has everything? he is a big golf fan so just saw a USB putt returner, it looks great, and is only £2 more than the £10 budget. I also got an extra gift for my niece, a warm cuddles monkey, and a nice body wrap for my OH's mum, that will be an extra gift to go with the other bits i have her.

I have also just redeemed £10 from Dooyoo, and £5 from Bingoport, so i should get another £15 on Thursday/Friday.

Not many more xmas gifts to get - my OH's, and stocking bits for his stocking, and few more bits, then i'm done, thank god.

Hi Caroline - welcome to MSE. Bingport is a free bingo site where you earn points playing free bingo or slots, then with your points, you can redeem for Amazon vouchers or Foxy Bingo money. It really is a good website, but can take a long time to make points.

I've had a really bad week, thankfully not with money, well partly. I've been having really bad family troubles, so i've been busy sorting that out, in between crying, and working, and i totally forgot my bank had gone £1.44 over my overdraft limit, so i got charged £22. I'm with Barclays, so i'm on the reserve thingy. I've never been over my overdraft, so was very shocked/unhappy to see the £22 fee. I don't get paid until tomorrow, but luckily the reserve thing Barclays offer means i have 5 days to put the account in credit before anymore charges are added to my account.

I've found ways to claw back the £22. I've cancelled my Casino Paradiso film rental so thats £5.99, also i've finally cancelled life assurance, £5.79, and i've sold some books on Amazon, so that just takes me over £22.

Its payday in a few hours, shall i stay up and see how much i get paid lol, it normally goes in just afte 1am.

My £5 from Bingport arrived a few hours ago, still waiting for my £10 from dooyoo, hopefully it will arrive on Friday like it did last week.
