    Yeah it is good although I am getting a bit confused with how much I have paid in, am due out etc as you have to deposit to withdraw sometimes.

    Well I have had a good start to today. Managed to withdraw from scratchies at had a pound bonus added this morning, I redeemed from BP for £5 Amazon and i also redeemed just over £5 from Ciao. HOpefully should get that in not too long as I heard they sort the redemptions out at the begining of the month?

    Today we are driving back to London. Going to pop to Westfield and see if they have my Uggs in and also possibly get some jeans with my new look voucher. WE have got a wedding reception tonight so that should be nice. Is someone OH used to work with so I won't know anyone but should be OK.

    My list of moneymaking things to do for the day are:

    [STRIKE]Bingo Britain[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Scratchies[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Bingoport[/STRIKE]
    Copy a review over on Ciao

    Well I have done most the things except Dooyoo and haven't really got the energy now and we are off out in a couple of hours to a wedding reception.

    I just tried to work out all my outgoings etc, was a bit confusing as I usually use an excel sheet but is on my work computer. I had a bit of a panic at how much money I have left after everything goes out but then it is a reasonable amount really when I think about it. I have bought petrol as well and that should last me as haven't got too many trips planned. Just have to be good like I was last month!

    On the plus side I have sorted my car insurance out, my new quote was 100 more than last year and 200 more than the cheapest quote i found so rang them up and they matched the quote as was a sister company of theirs anyway.

    well done on the car insurance quote, we've just done the same on our house insurance quote today. They couldn't match it but we went elsewhere and saved and got cashback. It always pays to ask though. Have a good time tonight.

    Thanks! I guess there are people who just accept what they get quoted without trying to get it for better.
  • Hey chick,

    If you've not got your Uggs yet Shudoo are doing the 20% offer and that includes Uggs, that would be a massive saving. Just something to consider hun.

    Well done on the car insurance quote, i hate sorting out car insurance, such a pain in the botttom.

    Thanks a lot Hayles! Will have a look in a min.

    It is depressing how much is going out on my car in the next month with insurance/tax/MOT and AA but at least it will all be done for another year.

    I got £5.26 interest on my OD account so have added that. My payment for my Dad has also come out so that is all good. I was doing some workings yesterday and will definitely be possible to pay everything off by April, maybe even sooner if I work hard so will have to find some more ways to make money!
