Frugal Fresian's 2010 Adventures

moo2moo

Bored, bored, bored. Have reached the heady heights of 18,177 Toluna points and have discovered that writing 80 words of random waffle about anything and everything qualifies as an opinion and gains 100 points. Have waffled but not been credited points as yet. Rather scarily that means I'd have to ramble away for fifty thousand words to obtain the next voucher. Once again I find myself wondering if its really worth it?

I think it goes in waves. I'm finding it quite good fun as if I can find rant-worthy topics I'm getting rid of some frustration!

Also, if you do smaller opinions for other people, they get popularity bonus once they get 20 replies. The more you do for others the more of them will do some of your opinions.

If you don't enjoy it, I would say do something else instead, it's not worth it if it feels like work.

Morning all!

I'm beginning to suspect that my budget this month shall be ruined by Glee downloads The lovely glitch that had me getting free MP3s from Amaz0n has sadly departed and I'm back to paying for my music.

I'm up to 23,020 points with T0luna so I'm working my way up to the next voucher slowly but surely. It's not bad when you consider that I redeemed for the last one on the 10th of March. I could get one a month if I could waffle for long enough. It's a shame it's so time-consuming. moo2moo - I have found that I can do more opinions if I have the telly/radio on as it distracts me from how boring the website is. Something to think about?

I can't wait until Thursday when the bonus payslip will be available for me to peruse. I'm getting giddy and looking at Radley bags at the moment, and I need to do some serious maths to make sure I don't go crazy. I'm thinking along the lines of allocating X to the car, X to the holiday, X to me and the rest to the debt-pot. What do you lovely people think?

Must go to work now, have a lovely day Internets

Sounds like a good plan, I would say definitely treat yourself as you have done and are doing so very well, you deserve a treat, and do not feel guilty about it. Maybe treat yourself when you are on holiday, it's always nice to have some extra money to spend when you are away and a day's shopping in York is lovely!

Excellenty idea on allocating money to X Y & Z & factoring in a Radley is an even more excellenty idea in my humble opinion.

Morning all!

I was a bit of a Bad Fresian yesterday and bought myself new undies from Per Una - but the set was only £10 so I don't feel as bad as I could. If only I looked as nice as the lady in the link :rotfl: I have had a week where the overwhelming emotion has been Meh, so it's nice to have some new undercrackers to perk me up

Money

PAD account = £25
Entertainment = £17.25
Groceries = £88.89 (V. pleased with this!)

Once again the Entertainment budget will not last me until the end of the month as I have a trip to the pictures with kissjenn tomorrow (Woo!) and also with a friend on Sunday. Although I have the cinema pass I'm treating my friend to dinner as she has no money at all and we're going shopping on the 28th so she will buy me lunch then

Tomorrow is the day we can finally view our payslips in time for Bonus Payday on Tuesday. I have already spent £60, thanks to the lovely Palema who bought myself and Mr Fresian discounted tickets to Spamalot in October :j I shall NOT buy anything else until I know the amount of money I will be getting. No siree.

Now, make up and work. Harrumph :rotfl:
