  • Yey, just checked my bank and i have been paid, and i received £250 extra this month for my overtime!!! Just waiting to see now how much i will get from Quidco, then i can work out my budget.

    Just over 3 weeks before i fly off to America for Christmas!!!!

  • This weekend is going to be my weekend to sort things out. I have forgotten all about Quidco, so i want to find more money making ideas on there, and i want to get some more Dooyoo reviews done and play Bingoport all weekend.

    I'm shopping tomorrow in the morning (i'm going early to avoid the Christmas rush) to get the last of my xmas gifts. Then have a big family meeting to get back to (what fun) then i will be cracking on with money making ideas.

  • So, first day of payday, and how'd i get on, well i only spend £3.34 today that M&S on lunch and percy pigs :-) i just couldn't resist the percy pigs, yum!

    My £10 Dooyoo Amazon voucher arrived today, yey! I have added that to my balance and its now upto £36.45. I have enough points on Dooyoo to redeem again, but will wait until Monday when they have all been validated.

    Its a night of Bingoport for me, whilst watching I'm a Celeb!

  • I'm very tired today. I got up at 7am and made sure i was at Lakeside by 9am, i'm glad i did as i managed to beat the crowds, however i didn't manage to find a new outfit for my xmas do, so going to pop into my local town centre tomorrow where its a little less busy and the shops i like to go in Oasis, Topshop, River Island, Miss Selfridge, Zara are all right near each other, so hopefully be easy to find something.

    I did however got a few more xmas gifts. My best mates gift from Paperchase, plus a nice item in The Body Shop, they are doing 3 4 2 on all the gifts at the mo, its really good. I also got some bits from Boots using my boots card, make up bits for me, and few bits from Soap and Glory as they are offering 3 4 2 at the moment, and used my boots points to pay, only used up £21.34 worth, so have just over £15 left in Boots points

    In total spent just over £37 - i'm very happy with that as i budgeted to spent £50 on xmas gifts.

    Recieved my Barclaycard bill today, its £573.81, so just about to knock off £10 off my sig.

    Just about to put £350 aside for holiday spends, and once i get paid again in Dec, i think its going to be the 22nd Dec, i will put another £450 towards holiday funds, so i should have £750 to spend when we fly on the 23rd Dec. I'm really hoping the $$ goes up before i exchange my money, its really bad at the mo, but getting stronger.

    Off to look order my lil bro's exmas gift from Amazon, so that'll be free. I also need to write 4 reviews today for Dooyoo, and play Bingoport. So it'll be a night of reviews/bingoport plus X Factor, I'm a Celeb, a cheap night in.

  • I JUST WON £81 on the Tombola bingo - YEY!!!!!

    I saw an ad online about buying one of the magazines, and getting £5 free play for Christmas. I bought the New mag in Boots using my boots points and just used it and won, that will come in handy with Christmas!!!

  • I have just received an email from Quidco saying £25 has been sent by BACS today, another £25 in my pocket.

    Not managed any reviews yet on Dooyoo, must get cracking. I can do that whilst X Factor is on maybe.

    Good news on the Quidco payment, I have £140 in limbo at the moment so hoping it will be paid out soon.

    Good idea about dooyoo and X factor. I must do some reviews tonight as haven't done any for a while.

  • Hi Doodledo,

    It would be so good if Quidco paid out all in one go, rather than £20 here and there. However free money is free money, i shouldn't grumble lol.

    I'm going to give Dooyoo reviews ago whilst X factor is on, but i can see myself getting so into X Factor that i'll forget about Dooyoo.
