debt free diary.a new leaf.

greenanne

thought i might get a nsd in today but didn't quite manage it.i've got 4 days left to get 2 nsd's in to reach my target for october.
i have to confess that i've let my surveys lapse a bit.i logged on to my survey site today and there were 67 new messages.most were now out of date.i managed to do afew.i've got £13 with one site.
does anyone else have this problem-i get sent over and over a survey from global opinions.it asks your profession then gives a long list of illnesses for you to tick any in your household.then at the bottom it says click to procede with survey,but there is no where to click and no way of doing the survey.i have been sent this dozens of times but have to just delete it.very frustrating.
i have tomorrow at work then i'm of for a week.i will try to line up some agency work though.
have a great friday,the weekend is nearly here.

i am now on holiday from my normal day job yippee.

i have a shift lined up for tomorrow afternoon with the agency and will probably do some more next week.
did a naughty thing today.i bought a necklace and pair of earings from the misi homemade site.i've been looking at it for ages.i paid for it via paypay so had most of the money already there from selling afew bits.
i have no money left in my purse now.i'm not sure if ive been paid yet as the barclays site is down.i'll check it out in the morning.
not much else going on today.i'm going to check and see if i have any surveys then of to bed.

i know pay day should be the best day of the month but for me it's always the worst.
the pay from my main job is the lowest it's been for ages,as they havn't given me my full hours this month.
i've recieved my monthly pay from them and pay for an agency job i did and i'm already starting the month -£650.by the time all my direct payments and standing orders come out i'll be around the -£1770 mark which takes me straight back into bank charges which is where i started.it feels like everything i've done has all been for nothing.

Oh no...have a hug :grouphug:, a cup of tea :coffee: and a home made hobnob.

I know it feels awful right now but there is always a solution. If you hadn't been doing all your money saving, it would be way worse. That's what I keep telling myself when it all seems to be going wrong. You're on the right track, it just a wee set back.

Is there anything you can sell to make more money before the end of the month? Bagfuls of clothes, bits and pieces for a car boot sale? Any mystery shops that pay out mid-month? Could you move a DD or two til later in the month, after your next wage? Or maybe increase your overdraft for a month to avoid the charges, if you can?

Let us know how you get on, and I'll keep racking my brains for other ideas. Keep going though, you're doing so well.

have done a 7 hour shift for the agency today.it was ok and for the time that i was working i didn't think about money at all.so have managed a nsd.only one more to do to reach my total of 15 for october.
i have been scouring the house to find things that i can put on ebay.i'm looking at everything in a completly different way.i don't have that many nice clothes left now but i've got afew things together and it's a free listing weekend so i know what i'm going to be doing tomorrow.
i'm going to see if i have any surveys to do.i must admit i've not looked into doing mystery shopping so i'm going to check that out.
thankyou for your words of encouragement ani*fan,they really do help.
enjoy your sunday everyone.

managed a no spend weekend so that takes me to my total of 15 nsd's in october.it was only because i didn't have any money.i was desperate for some chocolate yesterday and would have bought some if i could.
i did a 12 hour night shift for the agency last night which is going to help the months finances.also managed to get afew things listed on ebay.
am off shopping now.it's a bit sad then the highlight on my month is to go food shopping:)
i've got my list ready for asda but i thought i might check out farm foods as well.i've never been there before.
also,i recieved my necklace and earings this morning.i'll try and put a picture on later.

greenanne

well thats me all stocked up with food.hopefully for the whole month.
i've been doing the things you usually do when your on holiday.washing,cleaning etc.
i'm sitting with that feeling now that i really don't want to check my on line banking,but i know i must.
i've sent my time sheets off so should get one pay on friday and two on saturday.
i have tried to put a pic of my necklace on but can't quite work out how to do it.if anyone can enlighten me that would be great.
have a good tuesday everyone.

greenanne

not been up to much today so have managed a nsd.
the agency phoned up at 7.30 this morning to offer me a shift today,but it's somewhere i've told them i don't want to go.
i did check out my online banking and the world didn't come to an end.the way things look i will go over my limit and recieve charges,so my aim this month has to be to concentrate on that.i refuse to give barclays any more of my hard earned money.
i checked out my reciept from asda today,i've never done it before.i've ended up with vouchers worth £6.33.what a result, i'm going to search my old carrier bags for old reciepts.the only problem is that i've got to but some ink for my printer to be able to print them off.oh well.
i've been finding the surveys i've been sent lately a complete waste of time.i havn't achually been put through to do any of them for ages now.it's so annoying when you sit for 5 mins only to get thrown out.sometimes it makes you want to bend the truth a little in your answers but i know that would defeat the object.
i'll check back in later.

greenanne

didn't make it back last night as i got engrosed in something on the tv.
man from bt came today to reconect my bt phone lines for my change over to the post office phone and broadband package.i have to set the broadband up my self though.i hate having to do anything like that.when virgin enstalled it their engineer did all that.now looking at the equipment they have sent my phone sockets are to far away for the wire to reach and there arn't enough wires.maybe i'll get my head around it tomorrow.
i've managed another nsd today which i'm pleased about.i must do some baking tomorrow though.
watched kirstys craft program tonight,i love it.i wish it was on every night.i'm sorry though,i didn't think her cushion was the best.i would love to try and make something to put into a compertition.i'll have to try and find out if there are any near me.i would love to own a sewing machine as well.if anyone has one they want to get rid of let me know.i don't have any money but i do have £6.33 of asda vouchers if thats a help:)
am of to bed now to read.i've taken a lemsip as i'm getting a cold.hopefully it will be gone by morning.
have a good thursday.

greenanne

i.ve not logged on for what i thought were afew days but it turns out it's 5 days.i don't want to go that long without without writting something just to help keep me on the straight and narrow.i've nothing exciting going on though.
back at work today after having a week off where i didn't really achieve the things i had wanted to get done.
managed to buy some ink for my printer today at quite a reasonable price.i can print off my asda vouchers now.
i've got afew bits on ebay that have quite alot of interest going on.someone sent me a message to ask if they could pay for an item with postal orders.i didn't even know such things existed.i said no,i can't be bothered with the hassle of anything like that.
thats about it.i'll have more time tomorrow.
