DFWette - Bills, Thrills and Belly Aches

Tete_en_l'Air

Morning Cinny, I'm jealous of you having a payday every week! And at least there were no surprises (ie £50 missing!) this week. Can't believe your giving up clothes AND chocolate for the 100 days! I couldn't do chocolate but am going to give up Pringles - they seem to be constantly only 77p at the minute so such a temptation and soooo bad for you, esp when you inhale the whole tube in one go

Good luck with the swiss roll, and I'm sure you won't need it with Twink's hobnobs because even I can make a success of them. I bought some food colouring this morning - they sell it in Tesco garage! - so hopefully be able to make some priddy cupcakes tomorrrow when it's raining... then give em away quick before the weigh in!!

Payday here too, can I hear a 'Whoop Whoop'?!

Good luck on giving up most of your vices for 100 days! I'm not sure I could do it, maybe I should just work my way up to that gently, maybe aim for a month at first! I wonder if I could go a month without buying clothes...???

Whoop Whoop!! If you give up clothes I'll cheer you on Birdie! The 100 day challenge with no clothes would fit in nicely with Dinah's weight challenge - then you can go out and get some new clothes for your new size once it's all over!

OH stopped by with the new car - it's luuuuverly! Gone home now as he has to open shop tomorrow in Sheffield, saves him getting up at 7:30 and setting off from mine. Plus I can look more into bingoport tonight.

Managed to do another Toluna survey so that's another 3000points earnt!

Pretty tiddled off with my sister she keeps on making digs about me saving again. She seems to have completely forgotten because of my savings she doesn't have to worry herself over paying her share of my credit card off. Ugh!
Her and my brother really got to me eariler too, my sister was saying how she was having the 'what you'd do if you won the lottery' conversation at work (she works as a cleaner and the people she works with aren't very well off) and they started doing this horrible up-your-own-!!!! kind of laugh when she said how one of the cleaners said 'I'd just be glad not to shop at Primark anymore' I can't believe the kind of materialisic people they're turning into. I don't get it either as we've had just the same upbringings!

Updated my boots diets for the day (as long as I don't have a bourbon binge) and it's 1033kcal for today and 16.6g of fat. Right, off to look at Bingoport!

Really cannot get to sleep tonight. Thought I'd come on here and get a bit of cheeky money making done, but now I'm here my mind has gone blank! Kind of half heartedly squinted at Toluna, but I have a cuppa and I'm going to start a dooyoo review. Kind of freaked out by how awake I feel. Just hoping I don't oversleep tomorrow as it feels like I have a million and one things to do (alright, 8)

List for today:

[STRIKE]Start and finish 1 dooyoo review [/STRIKE]
Get bits for the cinema under £2
Meal plan for next week at work
Ironing
Blitz Room
Clean Dads car
Clean the Vespa
Enter Comps and Daily Wins


Mareswell get a crack on with it now!

Hi!

That is good that you have the chance to go full time hopefully.

You are doing well on Toluna, they seem to have stopped sending me surveys now, is a bit odd!

I was thinking of going a month without buying clothes, might try and do it! If you manage the clothes/ toiletries/ cosmetics and choc then you are a very strong woman!

I would just ignore your sister, you know that you will be the one who has a lot in savings in the end and can get your own place etc.

Have a good day, sounds like a busy one

Woop woop for payday!

Good luck on the 100 day challenge Cinny, I'm not sure I could do it for all those things at once! - what happens if I *need* a new top or mascara or something :rolleyes: Are you stocking up beforehand?

Birdie85

Right, I have decided that I shall not buy clothes for 100 days! Wow, this will be a real challenge! If I start now when will the challenge finish?

OH wants me to keep a spending diary because he can't believe how my money just disappears so I hope it will help me keep my spending in check! I did just spend £27 in Boots this morning though... but it was because my Mum came with me so I could get her discount and I got a load of stuff so I won't have to buy any more cosmetics for ages! At least that's the plan...

Cinny91

The challenge finishes on the 8th of November I think Birdie - good luck! Sounds like you got a good haul in Boots! I used to do that until I got to the point I was forgetting what I had so just went and bought more

OHs car battery has died! Got a call from him this morning and he sounded so gutted. The people can't get out to the car until Monday either. Eugh! Looks like Lady Luck isn't on our side again.

My list isn't going so fab, did the DooYoo review last night, cleaned my room this morning, checked surveys and spend the rest of the day finishing reading my book. Done quite well on my 5 hours sleep but I do feel a nap coming on!

Now, off to try and figure out how King.com works..

Birdie85

Huh, I just went on Toluna to register and I'm already registered! I must have signed up at some point last year because my old address is on there! Just having a look around now to see how to get lots of lovely points!

What a pain about your OH's car! Is it properly dead or does it just need a kick? If it's been sat on a forecourt for ages it may just need some charge in it i.e. get someone to start it up from their car battery using jump leads then go for a good long drive!

Cinny91

It just needs a kick I think, it has been stood in the forecourt for a long time so I'm hoping you're right. I think he tried jumping it this morning but then he was in a rush! My parents are dropping me off at his tomorrow so no doubt my Dad will add his 2 pennys worth.

I managed to get loads of points on Toluna for doing the profile surveys - then doing lots of the back dated polls (I've got to page 100 so far!)

Didn't think I'd do it! But then most of them are crossed out because of changing plans, or lack of ironing!
