    Ok. My CC and bank loan debt is now below £7k - hurrah! but I have had to dip into my OD this month (again!). This will be cleared when I get paid on Wednesday. It also means that the next payday month will be very tight as I have my gas and leccy bill to pay and it is birthday month. Once everything has been paid I will be left with very little - ouch.

    There is a silver lining in the cloud though because, next pay day month, is my final car insurance and mega high mortgage payment month - phew! My outgoings will drop by £200 a month and I will have two months to find a cheaper car insurance policy.

    Today's mission is to reclaim my domestic goddess crown. My little house is really untidy - not good!
  • My sympathies on the house front. I have given up trying to be a dommestic goddess... I was born to be a dommestic disater :)

    Sounds like you have a tough month ahead but keep looking forward to August.

    Yay to being below 7k! That's really amazing :)

    I start being a domestic goddess and its trashed 5 mins later when the OH gets home so I've decided not to do it as often anymore!

    I'm not doing too badly on the domestic goddess front at the mo. I find it much easier when the sun is shining and I am off work. Oh I love my holidays from work.

    I get paid tomorrow *happy dance*. I will be skinter than skint throughout the next payday month. I'll be ok though - I always am. It also helps being in a profession with set holidays - my friends and OH are rarely off when I am which helps heaps.

    I am also due payments from three mystery shopping jobs. Not much (about £20) but it is all the more for the cause.

    good! good! good news! My supposed second job has not yet materialised (boo!) but, one of the girls from my club, has suggested a shiny new third job. This should come into fruition as her MIL is the boss. I need security checks (as always) but I will pass (as always) and could be earning at least an extra £200 a month. Possibly more in the holidays. Oh I ruddy well hope so. I could live of my wages from my third job and throw wages from the 1st and 2nd (if it happens) towards the debt and savings account. Phew! Big fingers crossed!!!

    I don't know what it is because my phone isn't an Android (I'm hoping that they launch an iPhone app soon).

    Just search 'sw@gbucks' in your apps store.

    It's sbtv. This website might be helpful:

    The members on the swag page on this forum are really helpful and they might be able to tell you the right one.

    Ok. I have been paid today - woohoo! I finally have a bit of money. I am, however, waiting for payments from two MS jobs and some eb@y pennies to arrive in my bank account. When all payments have come out, I will owe an eye wateringly high £6,840. Eb@y and MS should bring this total down a bit.

    This is also my final car insurance and mega high mortgage month - woohoo. Oh, I am happy about that. Finally!!!!

    I also got an email this morning in regards of my shiny new potential tutoring third job. I'm aiming at an extra £200 a month as it will be freelance but via an agency. Could earn more but I have my OH and the day job to think about.

    Just ploughing my way through Sw@gbucks tv as I need a few more bucks to hit today's goal. Have to go to the supermarket and PO after that. Will draw £20 out of the ATM as that will cover the bits I need for the next few days (milk, dried cat food and something for tea). The change will go towards my cheapy cinema trip next week (a girl needs to have something to look forward to!)

    ~~~~~

    Spent a bit more than I intended to but nevermind. I don't need to go shopping until at least the weekend and, even then, it will only be for perishables.

    I *will* go to the gym tomorrow if it k1lls me and I *will* keep a clean home!

    I'm all sw@gbuckked out. I smashed the days goal by 100% and am busy collecting next months vouchers.

    New payday month, time for a new payday month challenge.

    In the last one I earned a whopping £164.84 by surveys, sw4gbucks and the like. This month I need to beat it. I have three months of detailed monthly breakdowns and I have always beaten the previous months total so I can do it.

    I like a challenge like this :)

    I have three mystery sh0p jobs lined up for Monday - two phone calls and one visit. This is ace and all funds will go towards the CC debt (which is now £470). Gonna aim to get it below £400 before the end of the payday month.

    I am struggling with today's sw@gbucks goal so I have resorted to their tv - only a few more bucks are needed. Phew!

    I watched the opening ceremony last night and thought that it was amazing. The Queen!!!! We were like - will it or won't it be the real one and burst out into laughter when we saw that it was. Wow! She was ace!!!! I know that she only said one line but I bet that she had waited her whole life to do a cameo with James Bond. Move over M, a new sheriff is in town lol
