Just tweaked my signature to reflect my teeny tiny eb@y sales.
Payday on Monday. I can't wait. Next month is going to be another tight month - boo!0 -
Well, the t0pc@shback has cleared so I shall add that to my signature in a min.
Tomorrow is payday - thank gawdddd!!! I WILL be uber strict with myself this month.
My foodshop for the month will be done at Mr S because they sent me 'save £12 of a £60 shop'. I'm going to do this online as I won't be tempted to fill the trolley with rubbish.0 -
Well, I got paid today - hurrah! and I am determined to start this payday month as I mean to go on. I have my Mr S food shop being delivered tomorrow evening and a fish order being delivered on Wednesday. I have about five pounds in my coin purse to cover any emergencies and will not spend any more money until the weekend. I can do it.
Just done some sums and, in the last payday month, I acquired an extra £129.39 through surveys, sw@gbucks, sh0p n sc@n, cashback sites and eb@y. My goal for this payday month is to beat this total.
Now, I have requested another sw@gbucks Amaz0n voucher but I can't redeem anymore until the start of next month (you can only redeem five times a month). I have relisted some thing on eb@y that have yet to sell. Will list more tomorrow.0 -
Well, if I am starting as I mean to go on then I can't withdraw any more money from my bank account until the start of next week. I have a fiver in my coin purse and that should be enough for a couple pies for my dad and I tomorrow.
I transferred my paypal pennies into my bank account as well. This means that a tenner will go to the debt (I will get it below £7k if it is the last thing I do!) and a fiver into my emergency bank account (the grand total will be £25 - not much but hey ho!)
Next months payday should be a lot easier as I won't have any car insurance to pay (I have two months free). And, if I don't dip into my overdraft, it will be even easier! Fingers crossed.
Boo! I made a mistake. I have another month of car insurance before my two free months and one more month until my mortgage payments come down. Urgh! Just done my sums and I should be ok if I live like a pauper.
Just done some more sums ... Once my loan repayment has come out, I will only need to find £21 to break the £7k barrier. Will raid my piggy banks in the morning and see what I can deposit in the bank.0 -
Just updated my signature to reflect the two Amaz0n vouchers that I have requested on Sw@gbucks.
In exactly one month I will be one week into a lovely long break from work - woohoo!
Goals for the week:
1. Have at least four NSDs
2. List a minimum of ten things on eb@y
3. Complete as many surveys as possible.
4. Collect as many sw@gbucks as possible.
5. Put the food shop off until as late into the week as possible.
(lots of possibles lol)0 -
If I am going to truly change my ways I must log in here every day.
Ok. I have a mystery shop job booked for tomorrow but I am going to walk there and back to save money on petrol and car parking. It should take an hour there and an hour back so I will be getting some much needed exercise at the same time. Whilst, I am in town I need to post an eb@y parcel, deposit my money box coins at the bank, and use Qu1dc0 check-in (I think that this will become the new obsession).0 -
Going off the weather I defo am not walking into town. In fact, I am beginning to wonder if I should trade my car in for a speedboat! Blooming weather.
Ok, I have sw@gbucked but I haven't hit the daily target so I will log in later to see if there are any new tasks or surveys to complete. I really do not want to watch sw@agbuck tv because it goes on and on and on.
Yesterday was my first NSD of the month - eek! I normally have had miles more by now. 15 days until payday - woohoo!
Just did the internet banking and discovered a £3.00 from mystery shopping job that I had almost forgotten about. It went straight onto the CC bill. Just another £570 to find .... *le sigh*
ETA: I have mystery shopped, sw@gbucked and quidco checked in today. Goodstuff!0 -
