    Evening Shopaholic I haven't caught up with you for days tut tut :o

    Sorry about your driving test but you will do it next time I am sure of it. Hopefully you will get to re-sit it really quickly.

  • Hi Dooyoo, thank you hun, fingers crossed i can do it never time, i've spent around 3K learning to drive/tests over the past 2 years. Had lots of breaks in between, so meant going back into it and having to start again, more money.

    Right, just spent £89.50 on my dads xmas gift, my sister is paying half of it, but not sure when i'll get that, i hope i don't forget to chase her for it.

    I'm doing rubbish with money at the mo, i best be careful, i'll be eating into my holiday spending money soon, its only 2 weeks before we go, sooooo excited. I'm not a big fan of flying, so 8.5hrs to America will be hard, lots of mags, and sweeties will help though ;-) xxx

    You have dooyoo on the brain - look what you called me!!!

    I think a lot of us are feeling like that at the moment, we aren't use to spending so much so when we start paying for Xmas presents it starts to feel a little out of control.

    I lurve Xmas too fortunately I save a little every month throughout the year so it doesn't cost me too much from my actual pay packet.

  • Every year i say to myself i'm going to put money away every month for Christmas, but i just never do it.

    Right, just booked my 4th driving test, its now booked for Friday 23 Jan at 09:37 - exact same time as my test on Friday. Lets hope its 4th time lucky :D:D don't want to fork out another £56.50, soo expensive.

  • I've been a good girl today and had a NSD, however, i now fancy pizza, so what with Pizza Hut doing 15% off this weekend, i may have pizza for dinner :-) yum!!!! I know i shouldn't, more money wasted, we'll see what OH wants to do when he gets home from work.

    Been enjoying myself wrapping up christmas pressies today, i was shocked how many gifts i had bought, i think i've gone a bit OTT with my nieces gifts, but she is my princess, so deserves lots of pressies, just upsetting i won't be here to see her unwrap them, she's only 1 and a half, soo cute at that age.

    Not managed any Dooyoo today, but not fussed, Dooyoo gets a bit much after a while. I may do a few reviews tomorrow.

  • I am really suffering at the mo, i have a really bad cold and sore throat. I feel like death, its horrid. I wish i could take the rest of the week off work, but i can't, sucks. I couldn't get out of bed this morning, was up half the night because i couldn't sleep with sneezing every 30 seconds.

    I redeemed a £10 Amazon voucher today from Dooyoo, i didn't manage to get £15 like i said to myself i would last week, so this week i'm going to make sure i make £20. I'm already upto 8600, so only another 11,400 to go by Saturday - but i'm going to make sure i do it, need the vouchers for the last of my crimbo gifts, its my challenge for the week.

    I should really be in bed sleeping, and not on the laptop, but feel so bunged up i doubt i'll get much sleep. Don't ya just hate the feeling when your ill, you literally feel like carp and could spend forever in bed.

    I might try and manage one more Dooyoo review before bed, but i'll see how i feel, just about to take the laptop to bed with me.

    Only another 15 sleeps until holiday.....yey!!!!

  • Just posted this in the Get it Done challenge, so i must make sure i stick to the following by Saturday:-

    Make £20 on Dooyoo by Friday -only another 11,300 points to go
    Finish off all my Christmas shopping on Saturday
    Get all presents wrapped and under tree
    Sort out my finances properly and file everything away

    Not alot really, so should manage it, hardest bit will be the Dooyoo reviews lol.
