The Golden Goose's Quest For The Golden Egg - AKA A Debt Free Life!

Latest Update

Second best day of the week tomorrow - HUMP DAY!

Well, its been a busy week at work, which has been great and I am not complaining and its makes the days go faster and the paydays come quicker!

One of my 0% interest cards is about to end shortly, so I need to start shopping around. I have been in my new job now a little while and I haven't applied for any financial products in the last few months, so I hope to get accepted for either a LOB or another short term offer. I haven't looked at the cards available recently so if last time was anything to go by I think the offers may still be quite limited!

I am beyond consoling. I cannot believe I am about to tell you all this. I have had to spend all my £2 coins on another debt. Not on CC's or my OD but another must pay debt. Agree, we shouldnt stitch ourselves up by not spending them when we want to as that is false economy but the feeling is utter torture. No longer can I gaze at the shinyness and goldeness of all that is £2coin-ness.

Mixed forecast for this week, some say snow some say no. I am joining the no band wagon.

I have just had a lush bath, well over an hour and now I am prune like and in my pj's. If only the evenings would never end and the mornings would never come. My life would be complete.

Happy moneysaving all. January payday is around the corner!! Hold on tight, just a few more days.....

Til the next installment........

:hello: Hi Golden Goose...I found your diary, I shall be catching up and looking for any debt free tips!!

The_Golden_Goose

Hi back at ya!

My biggest tip, she says in hindsight, is don't spend what you don't have!

Or if in debt already, then seriously, cut back and cut up the credit cards. Cashback sites are your friends, frivoulous spending is your enemy.

Lecture over!!! LOL!!!!

Ha thanks!!

I love cashback sites...however the amount I have "earned" in the last year suggests I was still spending too much!!

So I shall be sticking to budget, I have actually found staying in and not spending quite nice so far. Although its still early days for me.

And you too, which is why I am a back.

Back on track with getting out of debt. Must do a tally soon as hopefully my overall total will have reduced, though not including my OD as that is a scary beast in its own right.

That will have to be tackled at a later date with some serious nuclear debt busting savvy.:rotfl:

The Latest Update

Evening one and all.

Currently I am sat on the sofa with MrGG lazing over me and the sofa, which is a) slightly irritating b) making typing a bit of an effort and c) the dog has also joined us. Completing the Crystal Maze would be a darn site easier than trying to update you all at this present time!

Bought some carrots today - 4kg for 16p! Why so cheap you say, cos I had £2 in luncheon vouchers, its MSE baby!! *evil snort*

Got lunch today at work, so that was a NSD plus there were some apples left over from a meeting, so I have "rehoused" those too. Not sure what I will have for lunch tomorrow as nothing in the house, I do have a £1 in my purse and some cream cheese at work so I could get some crackers or [STRIKE]cardboard[/STRIKE] Ryvita to chomp on. Will have a thinky.

MrGG is snoring his snozz off now!!! Won't be long before the dog joins in!!!

One more sleep and its Friday. :T

We've been using up bits and pieces from the freezer and storecupboard. Not necessarily to save money but because we've nothing to spend. January is a brassic month so it is. So if your wallets and waistline are feeling the pinch, take a rain check on the supermarket visit and see what you already have in store!

Til the next installment.....

GG, I was thinking about your eyebrows, not a creepy way just because you brought them up ! lol

Why dont you get them done once and then after that just top them up yourself with plucking the strays when they grow in that way youll be able to keep the shape the first person has given you

Thank you Claire, very wise words and welcome! Don't think I've seen you post on my diary before, so thank you!

Sadly this time my brows are beyond salvation, though I may try and see if I can follow the "lines". They are just still visible, so I may get to work on those later. I soooo know how to spend my Friday nights! May as well attack the legs and armpits and have a thorough de-fuzz session!

Your welcome, ye I was just having a look around and spotted your eyebrow chat lol Good luck with the de-fuzz-ing
