On the up!

I have been paid from my last MS job and my eBay and survey money has arrived in my bank account. This means that £20 can come off my CC account leaving me with another £480 to find. I'm eyeing up other things to eBay so the debt should be gone sooner than soon. Not tweaked my signature yet because I prefer to do my Internet banking when I'm in on my own.

Just got myself into a bit of a tizz thinking that my signature was wrong but my loan repayment hasn't come out yet. I have paid £543 off my debt this month - wowza! If only that was going into my savings account. Boo hoo!

My goal for the end of next payday month is to get below the £7k barrier. Things will be tricky after that because my hours are being cut. Hopefully, I will get my old second job back. Fingers crossed.

Well, my incredibly expensive week has come to an end. I am soooo not typing how much I have spent but it is a lot. Needless to say that I am aiming for as many NSDs as possible as payday is 12 days away. At least the cupboards are full.

I have also signed up with another mystery shopping company. This one seems to be quite popular on the MS board so hopefully I will have more luck with it.

Can you sign up to multiple MS companies?

Well, no one has said that I can't lol. I'm with three at the min but, if you look on the MS board, most of the people are signed up with a few.

What's a sparkle challenge star btw??

Squidge123

Its a new challenge - people are putting money away in a pot but I don't have enough spare to do that so I'm collecting stars until I do.

It's all about getting your sparkle back whilst getting debt free at the same time.

I'm going to search for other MS companies. I just signed up to one but there's no assignments for me yet

Oh I quite like the idea of getting the sparkle back into my life. I will have a look into that

Which one have you signed up with? I'm with TNS (never had a job with them though) and GFK (earn about £20 a month on average). I have just signed up with GR. I was with gapbuster but I didn't do anything with them because I didn't want to eat fast food every other week or so.

Have you been on the MS board? They have a huge list of MS companies and a stack of other information as well.

Well today marks my third NSD on the trot. I have to have two more NSDs this week and as many as possible next week. I have also been preparing my spending diary and budget for next month. I have no birthdays or special events in April so I should be able to stay within my £310 budget and, hopefully, claw back some of this payday months overspend. Fingers crossed.

I have also been invited to join a focus group for a well known supermarket - ker-ching! I am guessing that this is like the thinktank that I am a member of. I passed the questionnaire so I'm just waiting for my confirmation email. The thinktank took a few days to come through.

I forgot to upload my shopandscan details last night - grrr! This means that my next voucher will take a week longer to get.

Right-e-o, my dinner is in the oven, my baby girl cat is whinging to go out (she is stopping in until rush hour is over - some people use the road at the back of me as a short cut) and I have a mountain of ironing to do. Gonna do the surveys first though!

Today is another NSD. Good.
