Todays list

buy school trousers for DS (while shopping)
keep shopping below £50(including trousers)
pack up ebay stuff

Great news! Glad you're having a good week!

And FREE clothes! That's the winner

I'm trying to do the cashback site thing but so far with little success! I've only needed to buy insurance things so far and the quotes through the cashback sites were no where near as cheap as my other searches, even with the cashback. Not giving up just yet though!

kirstenc

Thanks Rainy :beer:

I tend to do the comparison sites, get the cheapest quotes and then see what cashback I can get for that company. I always do the advanced searches for the comarison, so that they know exactly what I want!!

I wasnt getting too much to be honest but got tons last night when she said she needed to get cable TV etc, I immediately turned on the laptop and used the cashback site. Little did she know she earned me around £50 for the 2 hours she was there:rotfl:

my ebay stuff for today has sold (5 items though, dunno why I thought there were 8!) the 5 items went for £42 in total. impressive!! :j

You sound like you are really enjoying your debt-busting, Kirstenc!

Do you cook the hash browns on top of the cottage pie or just place them on after cooking on a baking tray? Have you tried the Tesco discounter hash browns? We couldn't tell the difference except the price! :money:

kirstenc

well once i have cooked the mincy stuff with the veg on the hob i just pop the frozen ones on top and pop in the oven for 20 mins. works better in a square thing, round ones dont work too well with triangles lol

I am loving the debt busting lol, i have done spreadsheets for my spreadsheets, but am so happy that on payday theres going to be money left in credit on the account. been 2 years since i have seen that!!!

Good morning my fellow early birds (and people who see this later, good afternoon!)

I joined Dooyoo last night and did 2 reviews!

Luckily my OH has over 300 DVDs (not including the ones I am currently selling!) and I will therefore have loads of fun and get plenty cash doing that!

I was reading Hypnos diary yesterday and came accross the coloured squares thing, and working out how much a day you have to pay.

mine came to £75 a day, including some savings, by the time im 30 (6 years exactly next month!)

lets all say together...'£75 isnt too bad!'

OK, its quite alot, but if you think about it, i pay £45 of that as my min payments on stuff, so its really only £30.....I will promptly print out my squares and get to it!!!

Kirsten who are you on Dooyoo please ?
