Scuba's Spending and Life in the South Diary

Right all being well I managed to get in to town and transferred the money in to the joint account - which was a bit of a palava since I can't find my cheque book or debit card (I think the card may be at dads house as I never use it) and while I was there changed my address to the flat and asked if they can order me a new debit card.

Also completed one mystery shop, just need the motivation to write it up now and when I got home found an invite to join the shop and scan panel in my inbox so filled that in and hopefully will find the equipment in the post soon.

Council tax paid - thank god for online payment services!
A very useful parcel was delivered this morning, so have mooched around one of the mystery shopping websites snapping up jobs to fit with other work already booked, might have to treat myself to a new bigger handbag though!

Another nice 'useful for money making' packet dropped through the door today, my membership kit for one of the shopping reporting panels, and my bank account is nicely boosted by my onepoll payment of £40, which will be paid off the credit card tomorrow (it won't let me pay it today as the monthly payment was taken this morning).

Payment sent to the credit card, whatsthecost is suggesting a further 33 months/November 2013 before it's paid off naturally I have no intention of letting it drag on that long but I do need to put some fuel in my car tonight and still have no money in my 'spending' current account due to forgetting to transfer it on payday, so will have to fuel up on the cc and pay it off again later.

A few mystery shops done since my last post, not much to report otherwise, no money spent apart from the shopping and no money magically appearing in my bank accounts which is something of a shame, lol.

Plugging away at a few more survey co's nearing payout levels so hopefully I'll be able to get those sorted soon.

Money seems to be leaking from my accounts again, meh, at least its disappearing at a slower rate now than in the past and on things I can account for!

One of the things which has just been paid for is my next OU course, need to phone up tomorrow to arrange redelivery of my books - a little annoyed that the courier just pushed the card through the security door of the block of flats, so I only picked up the card to move it and the usual pile of junk out of the doorway, no number written on it so anyone else moving the card wouldnt even have known where to pass it on to. Still once it's been redelivered I'll be glad to get back in to the swing of things as far as studying goes, been far too long since I sat down and used my brain cell.

I hate going to the dentist.

Registered at a local one earlier in the week and had my initial check up this morning, and will be back tomorrow to have the first of two teeth removed and a couple of fillings, deep deep joy.

Had a little splurge this afternoon....ordered a stand for my nano tank so I can get it set up in the living room, then went to the local retail park and spent another £20 on bits and pieces for the kitchen - a blue le creuset teapot, bun tray, and a fruit bowl.

Ordered a few more gift vouchers to be used towards more stuff for the flat and requested some more money out of paypal to pay off the credit card, since I know I've added at least 4 months to the repayment in the last week or so - I have some money to pay off it which I've not got around to sending yet as well as some overtime in the next couple of weeks so should be able to reduce it back down again pretty soon.

Stupid internet banking worked as it should today so the salary which arrived this morning has now been dispatched in to three different accounts, the joint account to cover the rent and bills, my car savings account to cover the joy which is my road tax due next month and then finally my spends account.
The latter was a disappointing small amount but at least next month I get some over time too so I can make a proper dent in the credit card - which is back up to 39 months due to flat shopping in Feb.

Need to transfer some money on to it tomorrow when it goes from pending to paid (money transfered from paypal and a mystery shopping payment).
