Hi Lemon Tree thanks for stopping by! I confuse myself with this diary sometimes especially when I stopped on 13th Nov last year and started again on 24th Nov this year!!

P.A.D ~ £12.25 as I had budgetted too much for a direct debit.

Today I'm going shopping for what will hopefully be the last of my Christmas presents!! The weather here is terrible and its supposed to get worse so I'd rather go get organised today before it gets worse!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Just checked my onepoll account and I have £35.35. It's taken my so long to get there I'll be so glad when it its £40!!

Also wondered why I'd not received any money from Quidco even though i have £51.15 there. Turns out I haven't registered my bank account details! done that now so I should hopefully get a payment in Jan.

I think the snow provides a great excuse for not getting anyone any presents this year!! Seriously though, you made great progress and the list you've got here really helps you realise how far you've come.

I don't know if this is of any help, but my sister and I were having a chat about Christmas and we both said that we really didn't need anything so have come to an agreement; a no presents pact! I don't know if you could try this with any friends or family? Alleviate the Christmas spending and save a trip on icy pavements to the shops?!

Hi poorbutrich my mum and I spoke about setting a budget for everyone or doing a secret santa but my brother and his girlfriend and my other brother have already got their shopping done so we're going to do this as of next year! I think on Boxing Day when everyone is together we should set in stone exactly what we are going to do for next Christmas and birthdays during the year.

Paid £14 to my credit card today, £32.97 to my savings account and put £6.33 in my sealed pot so P.A.D today is £53.30!!!

Managed to get a bit of shopping done but still nowhere near finished. I'm going to start wrapping today and see what else I need. I'm supposed to be going out with my brothers girlfriend this evening, I'm going to try and convince her to get a bottle of wine and we can stay in its way to cold to be going out!!

fendi, i think Quidco now do payments fortnightly, but i could be wrong, i've not had one for ages, and i have £30 tracked just waiting for them to pay. I've also got to track down my Admiral cashback sometime soon.

Ah worth a try on the presents pact!:D

Did you manage to persuade your brother's gf to stay in with a bottle of wine?

Hope you had a good weekend! Again, it sounds like you are indeed on your way to sorting your life

I've updated my bank details on Quidco now lemon tree so hopefully I'll get a payment soon! I had a great night on Sat poorbutrich we stayed in and watched the Xfactor and I'm a celeb, so much better than going out and we saved a fortune!!

Today is the last day of my holiday from work . I've done absolutley nothing but I'm not really bothered sometimes you need to spend time doing nothing! The weather here is terrible so not sure if I'll make it into work tomorrow, which would be great, not sure if I would get paid though so I'll need to do my best to get in.

I got a magazine through the post today from Asos and there was a free satchet of areo hot chocolate and a free conditioner so I'm staying in tonight with those and watch corrie, its going to be so good tonight!!

sometimes it's definitely better to do nothing whilst you're off work it gives you time to recharge your batteries.

fendi-bag-lady

I think my batteries are well and truly charged now!!! Work called yesterday and said not to go in due to the weather. I've now been off for a week and I'm desperate to get out. Yesterday was spent watchin dvds and eating junk, I definately can' do the same again today or I'll go crazy!!

On a more positive number p.a.d today was £39.87 (£3.26 to sealed pot & £36.61 to c/c) I haven't been paying any money to the savings account as I'm not set up for internet banking yet and I want to be sure the money I have previously sent has got to the right account before I sent anymore!!

I've decided to recycle 2 of my old phones as I'm not using them anymore. I used the mobilevaluer from Martins email this morning however the company paying the most has the worst reviews so I'm going with FoneBank instead. Hopefully I should get £35 for both phones and £4.50 for going through Quidco (fingers crossed!!)
