    Had my hair done, looks really nice so am pleased with it.

    Went and bought a few bits for my friends bbq later. Am not drinking so just got some diet coke, crisps and sweets as she is providing all the meat etc. Weather doesn't look brilliant so hope it stays ok.

    I managed to write a review, am at 15,000 points now so climbing up again. I am still aiming to get a cheque every two months so i need to get another 10,000 points this month really.

    Ended up not doing the bbq as was raining so we went to Nandos and bowling. Bit annoying as we bought the bits for the bbq and then ended up spending more. Was fun though and i won the bowling yay.

    Just checked banking and still have enough for the month if I don't buy anything I haven't budgeted for. Only a week and a half until payday and OH gets paid tomorrow so not too much to worry about.

    Just redeemed from BP so now will have 30 quid towards wii fit. I am hoping i should have enough next month to get it. After that I am going to start saving the vouchers for xmas.

    Well done. I'm struggling on bport this week, don't seem to be winning anything.

    We bought bits for a bbq we didn;t go to yesterday as well because of the rain. Oh well.

    It took me over a week to get a voucher but had a couple of good days on BP.

    Have transfered over my odd money in the account this morning, which was 6.97. I am edging towards the half way mark on the next payment. Hopefully my Dooyoo cheque will arrive. I am almost up to 17,000 on my next cheque now.

    I am finding it frustrating at the moment as I really want to have everything paid off so I can start saving.

    OH has just text me to say how much he got paid as was his first pay for new job. Was more than we thought as we thought he might get emergency taxed.

    I asked him where he is taking me for dinner this week hehe.

    Good news is that it means my rent is now reduced as he is taking over part of my share. That frees up a bit more money to pay off my Dad with so when I get home tonight will up my payments from the 1st of next month.

    Hopefully! My Dad was pleased to hear that I would be paying him more anyway. I am hoping to have paid all my debt off my early next year.

    Finally got my dooyoo cheque today so will pay that in the bank tomorrow. Will be over the half way mark for my next OD payment which is great.

    We went to asda this evening and managed to do a cheap shop of only 25 quid for the three of us, so that is good.

    Great news on your OH's wage rise! So where's he taking you? hehe! :)

    How long did it take your cheque to arrive from Dooyoo?

    Great shoping trip then! I think i will be shopping at Asda when we're moved out, they have such fab deals.
