Macgirl's "Stop Procrastinating and Get on with it" Diary

:o:o
That's why I didn't go bragging on your thread - Sorry!
I'm sure you'll get Lady Luck shinning on you before your HOLIDAY though! :cool:

But I could do with some bingo spending money before I go :rotfl:

macgirl

Chanced my arm with 2 games of bingo (from free scratchcard winnings :money: - no gambling here pop pickers) - but won zilch!

Still can't complain. £132 landed in my account this morning. That got transferred straight over to my overdraft pot and I'll transfer it back across the day before payday.
This probably doesn't make sense to anyone but me, but that way I can see how much I've paid off at the end of the month, otherwise it just gets "lost" and re-spent :rolleyes:

A bid on my unwanted upgrade mobile on Ebay, so that's good. Only one other thing listed so far, so will list at least 3 more tonight.

A girl at work is buying one of my old baby car seats, so that's another bit of cash hopefully by the weekend. Need to keep on a roll, as there is still a long way to go.....

Right off to get ready for work - kind of looking forward to it today!
Have a good day, Mac xx

Having some sort of "holding pot" makes sense - it is all about what works for you, but you DO need to keep track of what you are getting, otherwise the treadmill seems to be never ending!

Enjoy work - and good luck with the continued moneymaking

macgirl

Thanks. I am tempted to keep the pot separate til I've got the whole amount and pay it off in one go. But today £32.70 was added for overdraft fees, so if I keep paying off a chunk at a time, that will reduce too.....

I do need to keep up this level of extra cash earning - but maintaining that will be difficult, especially after Christmas...

Well, came home after a very stressful day, fell asleep as soon as the kids had gone to bed and have only just woke up! :eek:
It's a while since I've done that, so I must have needed it.

Therefore, nothing has been done in terms of debtbusting. No Ebay items listed or reviews written. Must try harder tomorrow.

Didn't manage an NSD either. Caved in and had toast this morning and choccy this afternoon . So a grand total of 70p left my purse :rolleyes:

On the plus side, withdrew £96 bingo winnings :j so can play my £15 bonus tomorrow. Night all x

HI macgirl, well done with the bingo wins, if you keep on like this your debts will be paid off in no time.

macgirl

Hi Miemie, thanks
I have a sneaky feeling that one won't last until my debts are paid - but I'll certainly take what I can get
However, just been on BB and my £96 is still sitting in my account, despite withdrawing it last night (so it shouldn't being showing in credit), so I can't play my free bonus until it's left... :rolleyes:

I was awake all night thinking about work, so v. tired today.
Then got home to a freezing house - the boiler is on the blink due to too much rain getting in the flue. Luckily DH has fixed it, though it's reminded me we need to get it serviced - so more cash to pay out :rolleyes:

We're going to a party on Saturday and I'd really love something new to wear. A dress I've been coveting has been reduced to less than half price. I vowed not to buy clothes, but figured if there was one in my size - it was meant to be. So I found one today - the last one - in my size! :j
Tried it on and looked horrendous in it - so £40 saved :A :money:

Off to Ebay to list more items.

Good Morning
Heating is on this morning TG.

Despite being ill last week, time off work cleared my head and I felt uber-motivated. It's taken just 2 days back in the real World to knock that out of me :rolleyes:
However, 60p on scratches and £5.22 on bingo this morning! :T So must keep on keeping on.

Tried on my Christmas Party dress last night and it fits! (Just) So must stay away from biscuits until after the 4th Dec....the pressure!

Have a good day all, Mac x
