Flower - I was working out today if you were to do a Review everyday next year, and got atleast 10 ratings per review you'd earn just about £200 over the year on it. Which I suppose isn't all that bad for 30minutes of your time each day. I think finding 365 items to review might be another matter!

Ooh that would be nice!

The bad thing is that i actually think i could find enough things to review! I have a rediculous amount of toiletries and smellies!

I like the sound of your decluttering though Tete, I'd do something similar but my room is so tiny I'd only be able to get 2 zones out of it!

Haha, well my room's not that big - but it is so cluttered that the wardrobe is two zones - one is the inside and one is the boxes on top :eek: - lots of small but very cluttered zones. Hope you're feeling bit better now

Yay! Im nearly at the payout for bingoport. Its only £5 amazon voucher, but thats £5 less of my money i need to pay for OHs christmas present.

Well done with the voucher Flower! My Dad has given me a list of books he'd like for Christmas so I'm tempted to cash in my DooYoo miles for an Amazon voucher to save me pennies over getting him the Magazine Subscription which is about £35 from Smithys.

New money plan for this week! Seeing how my wages don't get paid until Monday. I have the £20 left over from last weeks Spends money so that's going to be my spends money for this weekend, rather putting it to one side for Christmas.
So *deep breath* When I do get paid the plan is to take £60 out of the bank; £30 for board, £30 into the Christmas Present Pot. Leaving me with about £110 in the bank, so I can move £30ish into my savings account which should still leave me with £80 to take over to next week *breathes*

Slightly confused myself there, but I think it'll work.

Sounds like you've got it all worked out!

Good idea about cashing in for your dads christmas present. I think i am going to buy another present tomorrow - not sure who for yet but want to stick to my plan of one a week!

We managed to transfer £50 to house moving fund today, but still need to pay some to the credit card aswell (and update sig!).

Just done one dooyoo review - really losing motivation with them. Once i get started im ok but its just starting it!!
Think i will leave that one for an hour or so so i get some ratings then will do another. I have suggested two things to the dooyoo team as they werent in the catologue - i wonder how long that will take.

Just redeemed a £5 amazon voucher from bingoport, not a great deal but it all helps!

I hope your having a nice weekend Cinny.

You'll be (virtually) rolling in £5 vouchers soon Flower! I think I'm going to cash in my DooYoo miles tonight for my Dads present.

OH did the sweetest thing on Friday when I was sick, bought a mixing bowl and filled it with Quality Street, cans of Diet Pepsi and a copy of 'Ghosts of Girlfriends Past' Bless him!! So spent Friday night snuggled up on the sofa watching that.

Been bad this weekend and spent on my credit card. I really couldn't help it though as I didn't have any money from my account to draw from by not being paid. Blah! Spent just over £70 in total £40 of which were frames for my Mum and Brothers Christmas presents (unplanned trip to Ikea today!) £20 on a Pizza Hut Dinner (as OH treated me to a Frankies and Bennys yesterday) and £10 for Diesel. But, I'll be able to pay it all off tomorrow so I suppose it isn't too bad?

Still, all ready and better for tomorrow! Not much planned for tonight, just going to watch Emma on BBC!

ETA: Just checked my DooYoo account and I have just over 24,000 points. So I figure I mareswell do 2 more reviews tomorrow, wait for them to clear, then get a £25 voucher over a £20 one.

If your going to pay it back once you get paid i dont see the problem, is just very annoying that you didnt get paid when you were supposed to!

Our credit card balance has gone back up aswell. OH lent it to his brother as his girlfriend who is at uni had an accident and was taken to hospital, he had no money to get the train to see her so we paid for it on the credit card for him. Think he owes us about £150 for that.

I'm still having digs at my Dad over it (the pay that is!) Starting to seriously wind him up, I know it's childish but sometimes that shade of red he goes is utterly priceless.

That was really nice of you to give your OHs brother the money for the tickets Flower. Try not to think of it as your debt as he'll pay it back.

Ooo, almost forgot to say. As of the 28th of October (also known as the Boots Event!) I'll have all my Christmas presents bought! *claps* Only have 6 things left to buy now. Feeling a little chuffed about that!

Ooh well done you how super organised!!

I know its not debt and i know 100% he will pay it back as soon as he can, but its still kinda depressing to see. Oh well couldnt not help him out when he needed to get to see her.
