I'm gonna start my Voucher Stash for 2010 challenge TODAY! So I'd best get cracking with DooYoo

Dont forget to get your free gift bags with soap and glory purchases
Think its one bag per 3 items, but im not sure. If so thats 3 bags for your goodies

Oo, I saw those free bags! Well the outside, anyone know what's on the inside?
I was faffing online on Boots yesterday and it added a bag to my cart for every 2 items I put in?

Have you tried any of the S&G Spa range btw? I have the Feel the Knead soap which is lovely, haven't tried any of the other bits though.

zigmeister

Thanks Nicole! To be honest I was shocked someone else was reading this thread except me, Cinny and Wendz!

Nope I haven't tried the spa range, I might do though if some of my list items are unavailable!

I have just written an EPIC Gourmet Burger Kitchen review on DooYoo - 1258 words! :eek:

That list sounds good and at least you will get lots of points to buy things from next year! I need to get a couple of things from boots but not enough to make it worth it.

I have just read this fred from beginning to end (and got nothing done in my house oops) and I have to say a massive WELL DONE!.... i dont know anyone at the age of 20, in uni, who would be fighting to keep their debt down!.

Re your want to horse ride, its amazing... I used to do some instructing, i went to equine college (but dropped out and went to run a yard in Brecon) and i've had my own, which i really miss now... but i cant work due to various disabilities so wouldnt have the money to have one of my own again.

Keep up the good work, you're a credit to your family and you should be real proud of how well your doing! x

zigmeister

Aw thank you Louise! Well done for reading the whole thing, must have been quite boring!

I really hope you manage to own horses again. I love being around them and so I can't imagine how it must be for you at the moment not being able to have your own. I wish you luck!

By the way, do you have your own thread?

Up to 14,000 miles on DooYoo so I'm slowly inching towards payout!

louisebt

It was far from boring, it gave me some good ideas, thank you! (like start clearing my bills for 1 )

I doubt i'll ever have horses again, my health is a big problem now (at the lovely age of 32 i've been unable to work for 8 years :eek:) plus i suffer vertigo, I've ridden a few times since the vertigo started but i cant travel at all in a car or anything now as it triggers it and makes me real ill, so my lifes kinda limited to round the house and walking distance from it, i am also agrophobic so dont go out loads... i have 5 dogs tho and without them i'd be housebound for sure.

I dont have my own thread, it would be farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr too boring believe me :rolleyes:

zigmeister

Really sorry to hear about your health Louise, that must be awful. I'm sure a thread of your own wouldn't be boring! It couldn't be more boring than hearing about how I've spent too much money in Boots! :rolleyes:

Debtfreedom!

I'm extremely pleased to say that I am now debt free! Some money that I thought wasn't mine, turned out to be mine to spend on what I want so after clearing £1000 on my own, I could pay the last £1000 off! :j

I am now gonna start a new thread as it will be a new start saving for a house deposit. Yay!

Cinny91

Point me to the new thread when you've started it Zig, I'm so chuffed for you :beer: Must be a great feeling to be able to start saving for you house deposit, and an even better feeling knowing all the money coming into your bank account will be aaallllll yours
