I'm working for the cash machine - my diary

Just a quick update because I've got to go, but *some* good news...finally...

Oasis have refunded me my money and given me almost £28 extra...v.nice of them. I used a discount code when I ordered the items, but they have refunded full price!

Just called Hastings Direct - they apologised for me not getting my fuel voucher and they're chasing it up.

I called M&S about my evoucher that didn't work when I tried to use it. When my new underwear arrives they will refund me £15, so I will get the voucher that way.

I think that's about it for now, got loads to do over the weekend including looking for a new phone/broadband deal if I get chance.

OK, that sounds good - finally get some of your owed goodies!!!

I'm sure on the email this week there was a good deal on Virgin with cashback? Sounded a good deal and includes the TV as well.

Yeah, things are getting a bit better, thanks makeup. How are you doing? Sorry to hear your sad news yesterday :grouphug:

Meant to say, hello claire0788 :hello:

I feel slightly bad about the Oasis refunds, but if a store can't refund the correct amount of money back to a customer I sort of think it's their own fault and it's up to them to spot it and fix it.

I'll check the Virgin deal out - thankyou :A I've gotten a little distracted by sat nav's though. I'm completely baffled by all the features....I might have to post on the Techie forum or something.

I've got loads of stuff to do, but none of it is being helped by my current attention span which is something like 2 minutes, if that really. I start doing one thing, then get bored or frustrated, then start doing another and I'm really better at focusing on one thing at a time (I cannot multitask! :eek:), but I can't even do that at the moment, so I'm getting nowhere very fast.

Nothing is moving on quidco, which is slightly frustrating. I've been 'treating myself' rather a lot this week...have been feeling like I deserve a treat after a very stressful couple of weeks. Hence the underwear purchase...I also had a Domino's one evening which wasn't good for the purse or the waistline I'll confess now, I'm about to order a jumper from M&S. It seems like quite a good purchase though, it's a longer 'boyfriend' jumper to wear with my skinny jeans (to cover my @rse) until I can lose some weight. It'll also look good with leggings too I think and at £25, not too bad on the purse either. Is that good enough Sarahb? :rotfl: Mum has offered to buy it for me as I returned a couple of M&S's little £12 jumpers that she bought me for Christmas (I have tonnes of them already ). I still need to get her something aswell as she returned a jumper I bought for her!! I'm thinking of ordering her a new cookbook and/or putting it towards her birthday present and getting her some tickets for a show in London.

Can't wait to get paid at the end of January. The current account isn't too bad, not great, but I'm nowhere near as skint as I am normally in January. I really want to see my house savings total go up though. The 84% is bugging me quite a lot :mad:

I really need to get going with things, January is going so fast, but I just can't concentrate. Argh! :mad: Sorry for small rant, I'm just really frustrated with myself.

Hi gwen

Stop being so hard on yourself - you're doing great It sounds like you've loads of stuff to sort at the moment and you are ploughing through it :j January is such a boring month - we all deserve a few treats

gwen80

Thanks Shoe Gal :A Did you order the shoes? They are ace!

I was hoping to find some shoes in the sale, but they never have my size :rolleyes: I probably don't really need them anyway, to be honest.

I just feel a bit all over the place at the moment and I don't really like it Things will get sorted I'm sure, it just feels like there's an awful lot to do at the moment.

Am going to go into town (I have some vouchers) then order them when I get back if I don't see anything else

gwen80

What vouchers do you have? :cool:

I've just ordered the boyfriend jumper with a free delivery code . Tried the 12.5% off code aswell, but the minimum spend for that is £35, so it didn't work. I need to get some leggings now. I need to get some anyway to go with a knitted dress I got before Christmas and I can wear them with this jumper now aswell. Damn! Just realised I should have ordered some from M&S and given Mum the money, might have made the order up to £35. God, I'm stupid sometimes :doh:

Got to go and sort some things on my car now, screenwash, oil etc. I really know how to have fun :rolleyes:

I'm feeling a *bit* less frustrated now, I think if I can get a few more things done today and ticked off my list I'll feel like I'm getting somewhere and I'm leaving the sat nav's for today, it's all too confusing for me at the moment and I'm getting frustrated. I'm not very technological at the best of times :rolleyes:

I have £30 House of Fraser and £20 DP/Wallis :j

gwen80

Brilliant! Did you spend your Oasis vouchers in the end?

I need to stop hanging around here and get on with jobs, but the prospect of checking oil levels isn't appealing

Shoe_Gal

Oh, no I didn't - so have £25 Oasis too :j:j
