    I think the DooYoo Devil mans brain would pop with all the commenting possibilities if people started suggesting that!

    Just done a review and mentioned A Love to Hide in it, getting all teary thinking about it now! *sniffs* :o

    Maybe we need to get a bit pervy on DooYoo? :confused:

    Just got my wageslips for the next 3 weeks as my Uncle is on holiday so I'm going to be able to figure out a how much money I'll have for when me and OH go on holiday. Woop!

    ETA: My little laptop is running a lot smoother! Couldn't find the disc so I defragmented it and did a virus scan (downloaded the AVG software from this weeks email) So I'm all set for a STP sesh tonight, might not be so clunky!

    A couple edits - with higher wages and lower DDs now I've all my bills sorted!

    This is starting from Friday btw!
    Okay *ahem* Drum Roll, Please! I shall now introduce:
    fireworks.gifCinny's New 3 Week Budgetfireworks.gif
    (ohhh, awhh!)
    Week One:
    Wages £145.68
    Board £30.00 -
    Total £115.68

    Right, from this I'm going to take £110 out for spending money and add it so the £60 in my purse. Giving me £170 to last me 3 weeks, on a calculator this of course = £55 and some pennies per week but I'm going to just give myself £50 p/w leaving £20 spare 'just incase' - I'm not entirely sure what that will be, but that's the point I guess!
    Moving the remaining £5.68 into my savings bringing that to £519.49.

    Week Two:
    Wages: £145.68
    Board: £30 -
    Total: £115.68

    ALL of this will be moved into savings bringing my total to roughly £635.17 (this might be a tad more as I'm never 100% sure of my wages to the pound and pence!)
    And at this point, unless I've decided to buy a very small old horse in W1 I should still be living off the £50p/w budget.

    Week Three:
    (this is Green because it's money scary)
    Wages: £145.68
    Board: £30
    O2 £6.68
    Orange £20.23
    Cineworld £13.50
    DogsT: £8.67
    Total: £66.60



    And from that I'll move £66.60 into savings bringing it to: £701.77

    Also, on top of this I'll have £30 coming from my PayPal account at the end of Nov - bringing my savings to £730.77 which means I'll need to save £40 a week during December which is easily done. Yay!

    Ideally I don't want to move any wages into savings the week me and OH go away though, which would mean saving £55 the other 3 weeks in December, which is still easily done.


    This isn't counting the money from Ciao, Quidco or STP though. So might be able to get it down a little more p/w yet :T

    Thanks Dinah! :D I'm pretty chuffed with it if I'm honest, last week I was thinking I'd never reach the £890 target but the 3 week thing is working pretty well.

    Pretty glad I'm starting to enjoy STP now too, hoping to get past the £5 payout again today (only at £1.36 though! Eek!) and another £7 spread across Thursday and Friday afternoon.
