Cinnys Spending Diary - Take 2

Cinny91

Wendz - Has your OH dropped anymore hints yet? I'd hate not quite knowing!

Well done Flower! I'm going to try and do another one this afternoon. Have a little pile of things I can sneak into work to review while everyone's out too.

Reached payout level on STP so I've withdrawn it. So that should be a whole £5.05 flying into my account by next week. I figure if I withdraw everytime I reach payout then I've always got payout to aim for!

Right, off to look at Quidco free offers. The joy!

Morning!

I'm now offically a Full Timer! It's quite bad though as I'm already counting down the days until I'm back on Half Time But I need the money, I mean really need the money so that's pushing me on. At least it's busy!

Just made £2 on my coffee break with some surveys. Going to try and get on OnePoll and Toluna over Dinner. Have quite afew Toluna surveys sat in my 'deleted items' online, some were only from yesterday so I should really do them. Can get an early start on my 2010 voucher stash!

Right, best get back work. Had a lot of jobs come in already, so glad work is picking up here as it was seriously worrying over summer. Might still have a job by Christmas at this rate

Can't think quite straight today, Having a mini break before I break the computer system or something!

Still, I've been looking at my wages and mentally figuring out a budget for next week (this might be why I can't fully concentrate on invoices..)
Anyways, after my wages this week I should have roughly £210, taking away board leaves me with £180. And with my sister is giving me £20 for a top tomorrow, and still having £5 in my purse from the £40 I took out a fortnight ago I won't have to take any money out for spends. So I should be able to pay £80 off my credit card with £100 to take over into the next week :T Now, that's the plan but it actually working is a whole other matter.

Suppose I really should get back to work now!

ETA: My plan for next week has gone to pot already. Moved £10 into savings because the £40 was annoying me, so it's nicely rounded at £350 now.
Will mean I have £90 to take over to next week, but I'm steadily building up a little fund in my Current Account so I'm not running near the £0 mark anymore. Which is nice!

No other hints, he has gone all quiet about it now...hmmm.

Did you get your last Toluna voucher, mine took ages eventually got it yesterday.

Cinny91

Nope, still waiting! I redeemed around mid August so it hasn't been all that long.... kind of. Still, I've decided to get back on track with the surveys, wanting to be able to buy a lot of presents with vouchers next year while me and OH are saving to move out. Will drop them an email like you suggested on your thread though. Worth a try!

ETA: Just sent them an email, should hear back soon!

ETATA: Got an email from them (That was fast!) Basically telling me to wait another week. So I will! I bet when I get home it'll be there now. Always seems to happen like that!

Hi everyone!

Not much to update on the money front from yesterday. Earnt about £3 in total which was a mixture of Surveys, Clicks and STP. But £5 did go into my Paypal from STP which was really fast.

Also, checked my CC balance this morning and I've just gone under the £150 mark :T And it's now £144.55 which is pretty good.

My sister got paid today but is on emergency tax so I might not be getting the £20 she owes me afterall. I told her it was okay, but if she could manage it that would be better So might have to re-jig my budget if not. Might mean only pay £50 off my CC this week, but it'll bring the balance to under £100 and it's still better than the £25 payment I'd thought would be my limit.

Aim for tonight is 25 tracks on STP. Already done my DooYoo review for the day, and my daily clicks so I'm getting there!

I think sometimes they only send you the voucher when you complain, nightmare! Hopefully you will get yours though.

You are doing great on all your STP, dooyoo etc!

Cinny91

Thanks Wendz, I know I could do a lot better if I pushed myself but the nights are drawing in and my slippers and Corrie call me! It's hard to stay focused.

Want to draw up some budgety plans for savings tonight too, was planning on setting up a new saver for my moving out fund, but just remembered about my Isa (I'm smart, huh?) which currently stands at a grand total of *drum roll*....... £10! My allowance for that is only about 3k though as some of the money I lent OH towards the new car came from it. Still, at least its ready to be filled up once my CC is cleared!
