On the up!

Nothing like a touch of norovirus to stop you from spending money!!! I never want to have it again! Ever! Well £13.31 landed in my PayP@l account today. I decided to put it into my emergency account as I only have £50 to last three weeks. I have one current listing on eBay but I haven't had the energy to list anything else.

Today is looking like it will be another NSD - the more the merrier I say. Just been investigating swagbucks as it might be another nice way to earn more Amaz0n vouchers.

Still got £50 to last until pay day but pay day is now a day closer.

Sorry to hear you've been poorly xx

Hi Flacos :wave: I'm feeling sooo much better today - phew!

I'm ignoring the medicinal fizzy pop that was bought yesterday; The sugar was needed and the funds came from another pot - so there. Yesterday was an NSD and my fifth on the trot.

Just got another voucher today. This brings May's total to £15 and the month is only five days young. Soooo close to two other vouchers and a tenner in paypal.

No sign of my cashback becoming payable - boo!

Just got another voucher. May's new total is £25 - woohoo. I have updated my signature, too

Well today is my seventh NSD on the trot *happy dance*. I will be spending tomorrow because I need to buy sandwich stuff for in the week. I also need to vaccuum my car and give it a good clean.

I need to re-evaluate my signature as I have already beaten my Easter to 1st September target. I will increase it to £200 and see how it goes. I mean in a couple of days I will have another £20 from my survey work and another fiver on June 1st. This isn't including the money I'm waiting to become payable on [EMAIL="T0pcashb@ck"]T0pcashb@ck[/EMAIL].

Wow well done 7 NSD in a row, that is really great! Really does make you think whether you need to spend the money or whether you can go without, don't you think?

It is the second time that I have achieved 7NSDs on the trot as well. You are right - it does make you question things. As long as you do a bit of forward planning then it is easy to achieve seven on the trot but I wouldn't advice doing any more as you can start to crave spending money by the end of it! haha

Well, today I am not working but I have a list as long as my arm of chores that need doing. I began that list my submitting my gas/electricity meter readings. The bill (bill - not payment due date) is due in a week so next months budget is going to be tight but, if I don't dip into my overdraft, it won't be as tight as this months budget. After bills I should be left with £230 which is a helluva lot better than the £100 that I have had this month.

I was going to pick up some bits and pieces today but it will have to be another NSD. I'm going out on Thursday (will spend less than a fiver and this will come out of my expenses that I will pick up tomorrow) so today, Wednesday and Friday will have to be NSDs.

I hope that it doesn't rain as I want to peg out when my washing is done.

I am walking into town later as I want to pay some of my CC bill. I bought my dad something and I used my CC to pay for it - he gave me the cash for it. You know, in days gone by I would have frittered the cash away! I also have an additional £30 of my own (money box coins) to pay off it. This will bring the balance down to below £500.

I'm hoping to hit the payout level on Opinion W0rld later today. They pay in paypal funds so that money will go into the emergency pot. It's a 'just in case' pot for my personal spends.

I also need to list a few things on ebay as well, email various people and clean my house.

Just done the internet banking and I have the grand sum of £30.68 in the bank to last until payday (17 days). I do have £48.22 in my emergency spends account but I really do not want to touch it.

I keep missing out on the mystery sh0pping jobs so I am just going to have to log on everyday as opposed to wait until they email me. I have a parcel waiting to go to Mus1c Magp1e. I must remember to bring home a cardboard box from work.

Just paid an extra £37.47 off my CC bringing the balance down to £500. My emergency pot now contains £40.75 but will be £50.75 in a couple of days time. I have paid £108.86 so far this month.

Just need to update my signature to reflect this but I will have to adjust it the day before payday to reflect the dreaded interest.

I was soooo tempted to spend the money my dad owed me before. I am glad that I paid it in straight away (I haven't included this in my singature btw).

Well the month is 10 days old and I have had nine NSDs. This is the most that I have ever had at the start of a month. I am going out tonight but I will only be spending a few pounds so that it ok.

I have just spend £95 in the M0ns00n sale - my bad!! I did go through t0pcashback though and I do buy the majority of my clothes on sale anyway. In fact, there isn't much that I do buy that is normal price - everything is reduced or on offer (I only buy yellow stickers if it is something that I would buy anyway).

Well, I only spend a few pounds (less than four) in the pub last night and, tonight, I'm going to a long overdue girls night in. We are all taking our own booze (which is good as I have heaps in) and are clubbing together to get a cheeky take away. Most of us have young families and so it's easier and cheaper to go to someones house for a natter.

I also have a family dinner this weekend but, other than that, we are being lazy.

I need to clean up before I go out though.
