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*0 -

Maybe we need to get a bit pervy on DooYoo?
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!0 -
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:Cinny's New 3 Week Budget
(ohhh, awhh!)Week One:Wages £145.68
Board £30.00 -
Total £115.68Right, 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: £115.68ALL 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: £701.77Also, 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 :T0 -
Thats really fantastic Cinny well done!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Thanks Dinah!
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.0 -
Thats really good Cinny, keep on at it! I think I have over £5 in there atm, might request payout.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
