Wendys Spend Less, Make More Diary

I hadn't realised I hadn't ever posted on your diary, sorry. I love days like that when all the vouchers arrive, shame I gave up on most of them lol.
You deserve a treat now and again we all do. I had all mine last month though I think lol.

Thats ok Yukki! I don't write in here too often so isn't often on the front page.

Had a good weekend seeing friends and family so that was nice. Had to buy petrol and was 39 quid to fill car up! Just checked banking and is not good, only got about 50 quid left of wages for two weeks and am going to a wedding reception next week and need to pay for food etc. Think it is going to be a case of being as good as I can and then might have to accept that I will be going in to some of the money i have in my account for credit card bill next month. Good news is I get paid extra next month because of backdated pay so will be able to pay this money off.

Have got my phone already to send off tomorrow to envirophone. Don't think will get full amunt for it but is working so hopefully will get a cheque!

Realised I had a bit more money that i thought as sister owes me a bit although I borrowed a dress off her which was knew and got a nice black stain on it. Have told her i will give her the money for the dress if it won't go. Anyone got any suggestions on how to get rid of it? I am not sure what it is but it is very stubborn, have tried vanish...

On the plus side I got a promotion today yay, same job but better title, the money part of that is already getting sorted out so all good.

Also for the first time ever I got a crown on Dooyoo, was so pleased! Am on almost 37,000 points now so definitely still in with a chance of hitting target of 50,000 by end of the month.

Making some good progress on the £5 a day challenge, got 30 pounds coming for my phone, was checked and all ok! I should hopefully get my dooyoo cheque next month some time so that will be nearly another 100 to add to overdraft fund. I think I am going to aim to be at 500 by end of October to pay off overdraft.

Had to take my dress back as didn't fit and they didn't have another one in the right size as was a sale item. Bought another one that was more expenisive. I had a ten pounds voucher though so only had to pay another 8.

Still lacking money but shouldnt have to go too far over. I have got extra money in account for next months credit card bill, so can use a bit of that and either pay back out of savings or out of next months wages. Don't want to get in a cycle of doing that every month though so might just pay it out of savings and start a fresh.

Well done on all the extra earnings and the promotion too

Thanks!

Am up to almost 40,000 on Dooyoo. If i carry on with doing 1 review a night I should make it to be able to redeem by the end of the month.

Still going OK on dooyoo, managed another review tonight. Hopefully will do another two over the weekend.

Got a busy day tomorrow. Myself and OH and my sister are going to look at houses. Am really excited about it but know it will probably be a long process. Good to get the ball rolling though.

Also got a wedding reception tomorrow night which I am looking forward to. Lots of people from work should be there, which will be quite fun.

Hi!

I stumbled upon your diary on the list! You're doing amazingly well with the Dooyoo! You'll be getting the £50 in no time :T I always get bored writing the reviews. :rolleyes:

So are just paying off your student overdraft then you're debt-free? If so, then that's the same position I'm in. That's not counting the student loans, cuz they 'good' debt-ish!

I am paying off my overdraft and I also owe my dad money as he lent me money for the deposit on my flat, my car and laptop. Hoping to have it all paid off in a year though.
