    Morning all,

    Looks like it's set to be a scorcher up here! Spent all yesterday afternoon outside watching my bf's match which was lovely, though have woken up to some TRES attractive floral sunburn on my legs (forgot to put suncream on before my tights :p) - ph well!

    Plans for today (other than work, obviously) are checking online banking and onepoll and attempting to find a new housemate (one's moving out at the end of this week) - urgh

    Hope you're all well and enjoying the lovely weather :)

    Was in Morrisons earlier and the man in front was totally bald and had obviously been wearing some type of helmet with straps whilst out in the sun :rotfl: I would much rather have floral than permanent helmet head :D

    *NSD. Just had to get milk.

    *Free drinks at work and packed lunch from stores

    *Checked www.quidco.com they owe me £45

    *Worked really hard to try to get a bit extra in my quarterly bonus.

    *Watching old DVDs instead of buying new ones.

    *Planned July's finances provisionally to see if I can make my last credit payment for one of my cards a month earlier. I probably can. Originally I was going to pay it off before Christmas, now I might make it in October.

    Oooo how do you get the discount? I went on the website but no mention of discount on there :( The cheapest I have found so far is Vauxhall at £39.95 inc VAT and going to get it done this week hopefully :D

    Or I think you can buy a kit from Halfords and do it yourself. http://www.halfords.com

    I received a voucher in the post after getting my car serviced there, with 30% off MOTs, servicing and Air Con recharges for myself, family and friends.

    Will PM you the details :D

    Hi everyone,

    Hope you've all had a good day, it's been a real scorcher here - waiting for the thunder to start!

    Well below is is what I've been up to today - not much but every little helps I suppose:

    Made packed lunches for kids this morning

    Popped to Sainsburys this morning and bought salad & chicken so I can take ceaser salad to work this week. Also bought Special K to help with that diet!

    Had free fruit at work

    Lunch was also pre-bought from Sainsburys (I know bad - but once a week I allow myself a shop bought lunch)

    Checked I'd been paid :) & moved money to savings

    Checked Ebay but hadn't been paid on one sold item and turned out person that bought was in Germany despite my listing saying I do not post out of the UK :mad:

    Tried to find some sort of insurance/repair deal for my dishwasher that is not draining water away :( Quotes for repair are around £130. Looking at various options but also toaster is on blink so think I'll need to replace that too :(:(

    Checked surveys - none as I think I signed on too late for them

    Dinner made from scratch

    Enjoying a slimline V&T now :)

    The latter is much more my style :cool:

    Have just remembered that it's my mum's birthday next Monday - cue 'what to buy!' panic, followed by 'with what money?!' panic. Have I mentioned that I HATE 5-week pay months?

    xAx

    Haha I like your style :D

    Eek, I hate that feeling! I need to order my Dad's bithday present soon, luckily it's payday tomorrow!
    :idea:Debt at July 2012: £12,862.57 :eek:

    100% paid off!
    :think: Savings Goal for November 2016: £5000 :cool:
    :D Current Savings: £1176.24 _party_
    23.52% Saved!
