2010: New Year, New Flat, New Plan.........

ehallett

Hi everyone

Didn't get the chance to post again yesterday. I got all my questions done though .

I am aiming for another 100 today and have already done 50 of them. To get to my £300 target, I have worked out a schedule for the rest of the month so I am not doing 100 every day and even have a few days off.

I have done the same for February, but will aim for £600. This means that I can put £300 towards my DMP and pay the other £300 off my sofa.

Today I spent £10 on petrol and that was it. I haven't got any more money until I get my benefit tomorrow.

Hi Emily,

Just wanted to pop in and say your doing really well, you don't let anything stop you do you? I hope you manage to reach your goal, I'm sure you will so don't really have to say i hope you do.

The flat sounds lovely btw - sounds like its home sweet home already.

Evening all

Ok, time to own up to what I have spent today:

• Food shopping - £22.91
• 2 books and some muffins - £8.50
• Sandwich at lunch - £1

Total for today - £32.41

The food shopping included some ready meals (4 days worth) for £5 so I shouldn't need anything else until at least the beginning of next week.

The books were 2 Twilight books for £7. I love Twilight and have read the first book but was desperate to get stuck into the next ones. I know I could have saved this £7 but it could have been worse .

A good thing today was that I have received a rebate on my electric from the old house - £199.13!! :beer:. Means I won't have to worry that much about getting my £300 target on AQA (although I will try to get as near as possible).

Going to get an early night so I can read some of my book

Afternoon everyone

I am doing well at posting in my diary everyday, quite impressed with myself .

My spends for today were:

• Boots cleanser- £2.50

I wanted to get the cleanser before my £5 off voucher ran out. I also put my cheque in the bank.

Got home to a couple of freebies (on the email). I am doing a Flash with Febreeze challenge so get a free 500ml bottle of that and 2 free teabags from Twinnings :T.

Going to Tesco tonight to finally pick up my mobile phone, but promise that I won't spend anymore money.

Morning all

I am still up at this ridiculous hour as the tennis loving part of my brain won't let me sleep when there is an Andy Murray match live on TV! Come on Murray!!

Anyway, I haven't posted over the past couple of days as we went to see OH's parents. We came back yesterday evening.

However, all I spent over Friday and Saturday was:

• Some munchies for the road - £3.52

I will have to spend some today though as need to get some stuff for my lunches during the week.

I had a lovely surprise when I got home on Thursday - another cheque from the electric company for £113.67 :T:T. I checked it out with them and they made a mistake, but are letting me cash it anyway as I have 2 bills saying that they owe me the 2 different amounts so they don't have a leg to stand on . I am going to buy my table and chairs with that (£99) as it wasn't money I was expecting and once I have got my table and chairs, that is all I need to buy for the flat.

Back to the tennis, I'm hoping that Murray can wrap this up before 3am but his opponent is playing too well for my liking .

:TWell done Murray!!:T

The match finished at 2.30am :cool:. The dark glasses are to cover my tired eyes . I'm now watching my second favourite player, Roddick.

This is the table I want to get:

Hi everyone

Back to report my spends for the day:

• Peppa Pig toy for my niece for Easter - £8.66
• Food - £13.33

Total - £21.99

The toy was 25% off in Sainsburys so thought I would get it early whilst it is cheaper and now I only have to get an egg for my sister and that's it. Because I got them in Sainsburys and had a double points voucher I now have 1,943 Nectar points .

Going to do a bit of housework before Dancing on Ice comes back on (come on Mikey!) and then going to read before getting an early night.

Hi everyone

I didn't spend any money today :j. Won't be like that tomorrow though. My friend and I are going to the cinema (freebie showing) and grabbing something to eat first (Slug & Lettuce 50% off). Plus I have to pay for our Zumba course (£15).

Everyone at work is planning for their holidays this year. I haven't had a holiday for around 4 years and I haven't had a passport for 2 years . I can't afford one so I am going to try and win one. I have 34 more questions to do today to hit my target and then I am going to enter as many holiday comps as I can. You never know, I may win one.
