I am determined to do this...

kirstenc

Hiya,

I am the same as on here, too many names and I forget!!! :beer:

kirstenc

Right...

I keep forgetting to put my list, or forgetting to tell you what I have done!!

so, to update,

I need to update my spreadsheets...one for each debt and one for making money!!
Will buy folder type things to keep each company seperate, payment receipts and bills etc
keep making plenty of freezable food, try to only do a 'big' shop every fortnight


EVERY DAY, i must
- list 3 items on ebay
- 5 dooyoo reviews
- check for all mystery shops (and do at least one a week)
- scratchcards, there is no excuse to forget!

EVERY SATURDAY i must
- transfer all paypal money
- claim any relevant vouchers/points etc
- ensure all possible overtime is booked in

other than that, I have a spreadsheet now for my 2190 days til im 30 thing, want to have everything paid off so I will note on it every payment that I make, average it out per day at the end of every month and if im hitting £60 I will be very very happy!

Other half seems to be behaving...he keeps asking me if there are any mystery shops he can come along to, and asked to see my spreadsheet the other day,.....you would have had to pick me up off the floor :rotfl:

anyhow, thats me for today, im off to do the spreadsheets! TTFN

- scratchcards, there is no excuse to forget! (transferred £11.00 yesterday!)

EVERY SATURDAY i must
- transfer all paypal money (£60 today, pay into OD next week!)
- claim any relevant vouchers/points etc (none yet!)
- ensure all possible overtime is booked in (did an hour on friday and at least 2 next week)

I paid £11 onto overdraft yesterday from my bingo wins!! :T

Have joined the grocery challenge, intending to spend as little as possible for as many meals as possible!

dooyoo is going well, i have reviewed a couple of DVD's and things that I was cooking at the time, so thats going OK!

Dont really have much to update if im honest (payday on friday and i think theres going to be a grand left...spending money for next month plus extra debt payments, plus the new hoover!)

Ill be back no doubt when the 8 items on ebay finish today, getting about 2 quid each so far! :j

kirstenc

Hello people,

so I have been able to transfer £70 from ebay today into my account, straight onto overdraft which is slowly creeping down! :j

OH is pleased as it was some of his PS3 games that we were selling! He has agreed that he willdonate any completed games to the caused (not the same as renting them but effectively he is giving me money towards the debt!!)

Im going to make some pizza tonight, have some leftover veg thats gonna go to waste if i dont use it! Dont have any passata so im having an experiment with BBQ sauce instead!!

Having tea at the sis in laws house tomorrow, and going shopping at mr T's afterwards. have made a database of recipes that we can use for meals, so OH is currently perusing for the meal plan! I think I have him partially on board now (holding him back from the takeaways!):rotfl:

Men like to be told what they can have and not what they can't, like children really! :rolleyes: Bet he enjoyed the pizza ... How did the Tesco shop go, did you stick to the list?

kirstenc

Hi FireFox,

He LOVED the pizza lol, wanted more!

Tesco went well actually, spent around £36 including the taxi home, and the only thing i got that wasnt on the list was pork pies in the reductions at 49p!! OH nipping my head about only buying the good stuff if its reduced! I reminded him about the pizza and all was good!

I couldnt find any egg replacer though which sucks, will have to go to Holland and Barratt during the week to get that (the free from stuff always puts my bill up...£1.89 for flour :mad:)

That's disciplined shopping. I'm afraid I'm not that good yet. I need to learn that skill.

kirstenc

Thanks,

I am a tad worried that it will fall by the wayside after a few weeks!

did 2 surveys last night, got £2.75 alltogether. not bad! and my first mystery shop payment is due on the 8th august, will get £10!!

doing a shop on thursday after work, get to go to the pub! get a tenner for that one too which is pretty decent.

Thinking about growing some veggies, hopefully just in pots, as I think I would overrun the garden! Could do with potatoes and onions (I buy like 11 onions a week for the meals that I make, imagine how much lighter my shopping would be!!)

Hi Kirstenc

Just to let you know that I am reading your diary to but don't always post. Well done with the Mystery shopping and surverys. These are on my list to join this week! I have joined topcashback and quidco and do the daily clicks and also pigsback.:j

It's a little daunting though isn't it ? I'm trying to do a new thing every so often and then hopefully it will all fall into place more than bombarding myself to start with!

I'm also going to call my local Tesco to see if they take these internet vouchers that I keep seeing. I know Asda don't!

Good luck with the veggie growing :T

kirstenc

Tesco do take internet coupons as long as they are in date and they sell the product. you dont have to buy it. they also take conditional spends for other supermarkets, but not product specific eg a coupn that says £5 off when you spend £50 in asda is ok but not 20p off branston pickle in asda!!

hope that makes sense lol,and thanks for reading! keeps me motivated lol
