Checked banking, nothing gone out that I didnt know about so thats good. Am determined to keep a closer eye on spending from account so trying to pay everything with cash instead on card all time. Fed up of waiting for banking to catch up 3 days later and then getting a shock when something aint budgeted for that appears.

Still need to get £58 in bank before 19th <eek> so raided Sealed Pot / £2 savers and found £24 in £2 coins <shocked> so coupled with a £10 in my purse am off to stick £37 in bank.

Played no-lose bingo on TAB last night and used £5 of the "bonus" money up and got that back in "cash" <yay> so decisions decisions, play the no-lose bingo again tonight and use the other £5 up thats in the bonus pot and then withdraw the £20 out or withdraw the £15 out now and just play with the £5 tonight - Help please lol

Checked credit card amount, down to £402 now so not too bad. Keep leaving the card at home and not spending on it. Fingers crossed it lasts.

Checked lightspeed, nothing happening there yet.

Checked Moneybackmadness, going to go and post on forums there and make myself known <laugh> and earn lots of points.

Have emailed to check if friend got invoice correctly that I sent her so she can pay me. I hate asking for money.

Have been working through my website databases and lists and getting everything into a better order. Just the big one to start next, the members on the main site and adverts, only 450+ to check <rolls eyes>

Hello everyone

Back from scan, everything was fine, had an ultrasound but didn't need a biopsy as everything looked ok from that. Thank goodness!

I took the rest of the day off as holiday today so am sitting in the living room while BF makes me stir fry

Today -

Checked online banking, all fine - 1p left until payday tomorrow!
Checked Quidco, Prime Scratchcards has tracked for £10
Tried to go on Boots.com but just getting a holding page, grrr
Checked Pigsback, nothing
Did 2 LS surveys, just two more to go and should get £10 voucher
Put away £10 off Cafe Rouge voucher to use at the weekend

That's all I think, hoping for a NSD!

Have good days all x

afternoon all

Hardly got any of the things done yesterday that I had planned and today will be much the same. Work busy and got an OU Tutorial tonight. On a positive note, I got my latest TMA mark back and scored 81%!! I am so so happy (I even cried LOL) as I was sure I had fluffed it up. I feel the study is back on track. So not easy trying to do this as well as a full time job and was considering giving up and going back to a second job as thought it might be more worth while. Not going to now

- [strike]check banking[/strike] done
- nsd (although I had promised myself a starbucks coffee tonight before uni as I have been doing so well so this might change depending on if SB is still open when I get there) didnt make my NSD but I dont care. I had a great coffee and I think well deserved. £2.29 total spends today!! :T
- [STRIKE]store cupboard lunch[/STRIKE] done
- [STRIKE]bring tea to work and heat in micro before going to uni[/STRIKE] done. was still hungry when I was coming back from uni but managed to resist the smell of the chippie and will go make toast soon

Thats it today. See you all tomorrow!!

Hey well done on the mark - go you - you worked really hard - hooray!
Great that scans are good as well Lillian what a relief.
Great extra making money the rest of you work so hard - I feel pathetic!

My only real good thing today was going to boots - ho hum. Late lunch just back 75% off extraveganza - (not that there was very much in our little shop) but got some paper, nice pressies, crackers and cards for the festive season. Only spent £20 quid and got a £5 off voucher for No 7 (which I must remember to use) - thank you guys for the tip.
Love to you all xxxx

Hi everyone, glad to see this thread so busy. Glad ops, scans etc have gone well and hugs and best wishes to those who need them.

Angelflower, well done on the tma, thats a great result. I start my next course in feb with the O.U

Busy but pleasing day, had meeting with area coordinator and she is delighted with the progress my children with SEN are making, as they have made huge leaps and bounds. Makes me feel like all the unpaid overtime i do is worth it!!

Today's plan of action:
-Earned pennies at work
-Went to nvq meeting afterwards to arrange obs for next week, will be a real boost to my nvq
-Off out later to my counselling children course, so that will be the whole of my evening gone
-Have turned heating down again, seeing as OH is insisting on having it on, please bring us some nice weather!
-I'll do my daily scratchcard
-Update blog
-Research condition that potential new client has so i can tailor my treatment to suit him
-I will sort out all things needed for treatments tomorrow
-Load up the car
-Ensure i have all documents i need
-Sort out work uniform etc
-Update spreadsheets
-Update blog
-Type up piece for counselling homework
-Off for a little kip before my course, at least it saves on elec!
-Received order from approved foods
-Picked up two mystery shops

Not much for me today, however each thing is rather big and works towards my big plan! Have a great day everyone

got-it-spend-it
