Well done everyone, not done much money saving this last few days, but well done all on your dooyoo vouchers and money saving.

Well, I have just bought myself a concert ticket and have now got a mini challenge for myself, to make back the money that I spent on it, so I need to make £45 (including the travel money as well) and I'm going to try and do it within two weeks, so by the 26th. This is as well as the savings pot (though I've lost count of what is in there) and the £10 for Dooyoo. Anything above my Dooyoo target I will treat as ticket money and any extra work or extra wins on Butlins Bingo will count as well. Wish me luck!

Had my Dooyoo voucher today as well. Am over £10 towards next one as well. Managed to get my £2 coins out of the tin this morning, was £36 in there, am taking it with me tomorrow to the craft show in case I see anything nice. If not it will go towards paying for my sewing machine.

Been to Dad's today as he had his follow up hospital appointment and we were told the drugs are working and he is doing nicely, hasnt got to go back now for 6 months. Is a big weight off my shoulders and Dad is getting perky and more like himself again.

sent off for £50 dooyoo last night so hopefully will come through next week. also chased up a compensation cheque from my landlord which is another £50 (and over 2 months late) and been told THAT will come next week. not holding my breath though! BUT that will be 100/500 of overdraft paid off in feb. got to pay the rest off by june/july. so wont be much xmas saving but im still putting money in a jar so maybe there will be a little bit in there.

signed my 6th rep for avon last night too so i think anything extra earned from commission etc can go towards savings rather than splurges x

Grr,just realised some of my first reviews are locked,so will have to update them tomorrow.Im too tired and ill tonight.Throat feels like Ive been chomping razorblades.
Dont want to upset the dooyoo gods now,lol.

Really feeling like I am getting stale and need to go over things like my cashbacking,and stuff Ive dropped.And find time to ebay.

WELL....my little one just won a photo competition for petit filous yoghurts. i forgot i had even entered him! they are offering either £50 boots or £50 asda vouchers....what would you go for?

Im thinking asda has storage/furniture/baby stuff/clothes...ie practical boring things, whereas boots have gifts and potential xmas/birthday presents....

HMMM SO TORN! please advise lol
