2»

Comments

  • Oh just to confuse matters - I thought it was 25% off if you inhabited with anyone NOT a student and 100% discount if you live with other students?

    I live with children and have student lodgers and am completely exempt.

    If my working partner lived with us we'd only get a 25% discount

    But I may be confused it does happen often :)
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:

    Morning all!

    In a bit of a panic due to the wedding dress now being ready for a fitting (wedding in 6 weeks) - of course am now on temporary hunger strike (only joking!)

    The BMW also went back to the leasing company yesterday - a big relief financially - my new little Peugeot 107 doesn't appear to like petrol much and in comparison is costing virtually nothing to run!

    This downsizing lark (in preparation for being a student teacher in 3 weeks!) is actually quite liberating - who'd have thought it!

    Anyway, today's list is...
    • Brekkie at home
    • Brought lunch to work (fruitastic!)
    • Dinner from fridge/storecupboard
    • Walk dog for free exercise
    • Buy dog food from Pets R Us (or whatever they're called)
    • Phone car insurance people to cancel old policy
    • Try looking at wedding seating plan again (flipping guests changing their minds)
    • Buy own brand medications from Sainsburys chemist (nice chemist lady saved me about £15)
    • Check banks - as expected
    • Quidco says its going to give me £75 in August - promises, promises!
    • Do surveys (need £2.50 to get next voucher)
    • Phone wedding hairdresser
    • Charge phone at work
    That's it for today... have a good one!

    Hi all,
    Had a nice time watching The Time Traveller's Wife last night - I was worried it wouldn't live up to the book and it doesn't but it was very good anyway. Mum and I had a little cry but B is obviously a hardnut!
    Today I
    1) SC x £5 :j
    2) LSD - just £2.40
    3) Went to work
    4) Took packed lunch
    5) Got a DVD rental free from Blockbuster using loyalty card - Let the Right One In.
    6) Piggy clicks
    7) Checked bank, quidco, surveys etc

    If the weather holds out we may venture to the pub quiz later- but I'm not holding out hope!

    Have a good evening,
    L x

    Hi all :j (well, a virtual star jump because I don't have the energy left to do a proper one :o)

    Hope you get your job app in ok Urg!

    Today I have / will:

    Went to work early

    Seen to animals and plants

    Dried washing on line (must get in shortly)

    HM meals including packed lunch (leftover salad from last night made a bit more exciting with the addition of some camembert and olives)

    Sold an old phone to Envirophone, going through Quidco of course :D (I would recommend them, I have used them a couple of times before, and it is a fast efficient service (no I don't work for them) - don't forget to go through Quidco though!

    Did a Pine Cone survey on product they sent me to try.

    Not spent anything :T

    Will have supper in a minute - prawn wraps from stores with salad from garden, not cooking tonight I am afraid!

    Take small dog #1 for a walk (#2 is on the combine harvester with OH, and won't be back till about midnight)

    Have an early night!

    Have a nice evening everyone :T

    I've been using food from the fridge rather than buyin in new stuff, and have spoken to the FOS who have confirmed that I'm owed over a thousand pounds from a bank who sold me some useless PPI (the dispute has lasted over 2 years!)
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
