    Just redeemed another sw@gbucks Amaz0n voucher. My interest in it is waning, however, because things rarely credit for me - grrr!

    Well, I have completed a survey on there and, for the first time in ages it credited. Was quite surprised by that tbh! Well, I have written up my mystery sh0ps - just need to do my internet banking and upload my sh0p n scan info and I am done for the evening.

    I feel dreadful tbh and am in need of a huggle and an early night. Ruddy germs!

    I have updated my signature to reflect Qu1dco [EMAIL="c@shback"]c@shback[/EMAIL] and Amaz0n vouchers. I haven't included my mystery sh0pping as I like to wait until the money appears in my bank account.
  • Hope your feeling better today and got the hug you needed.

    Its definitely starting to get a bit chilly some days, I must get the chimney swept as we're going to need heating soon.

    Car insurance is rubbish, Virgin wanted to more than double my previous years insurance, they even had the cheek to write on the letter that my quote was a reward for being such a safe driver! Eff that. Even though you've put it on the CC if you pay it off fairly quick you'll prob pay less interest than they'd charge for monthly payments.

    Thanks - I still have the sniffles and am giving Rudolph a run for his money!

    I have just found out about Amaz0n trade-in which I must investigate as I got nowhere with Music [EMAIL="M@gpie"]M@gpie[/EMAIL] (they didn't post me the details I requested so I still have my unwanted things - have to collect them from my house).

    Today's goals ...
    *review last weeks goals and set new ones
    *complete that are sitting in my inbox
    *pack work bag
    *nip to the cheapo supermarket for stuff for packed lunches.

    not too bad tbh. I need to work on my NSDs though. I'm pleased that I went to the gym three times. I was going to go on Friday and today but I am full of a stinker of a cold. I'm wanting to go tomorrow though.

    I have my paperwork regarding my car insurance. I need to print a copy of my renewal quote - will do this in a min. I haven't been asked for it but it's best to have a printed copy just in case. <--- done it :)

    I will chase up second and third job tomorrow. The third job will be easy to chase up. I am about to give up on the second one. Not to worry. I have worked out a budget in my head - just need to put it down on paper which will be tomorrows job.

    By this time next Sunday, I want to have achieved:
    * five NSDs
    * go the to gym three times
    * chase up 2nd and 3rd job
    * commit a realistic budget to paper

    My targets went to pot this week as I am still diseased. Urgh! I'm getting quite cross with being poorly now!

    I have only managed 4 NSDs and I haven't been to the gym at all. I haven't chased anything up and I haven't committed anything to paper - boo!

    [STRIKE]Just redeemed a sw@gbucks voucher but I haven't updated my sig. I haven't added
    my t0pcashback to it either.[/STRIKE]

    I have had an incredibly strange few weeks though!

    I still haven't updated my signature but I will do later. My diary is going to take a huge change in direction as I am now pregnant. I cannot express just how much of a shock it was to find out! I still don't think that it has sunk in. Anyway, instead of making over-payments I need to save up so that all expenses are covered when I am on maternity. My OH and I are beyond thrilled. It is super news!

    To start the ball rolling, I need to have £1000 saved by the end of the year.

    I still need to add my MS and quidco pennies to my total.

    I was paid today. After paying all of my bills, I moved £265 to my savings account. I have left myself a small amount of spending money for the month ahead and I am hoping to be able to move a bit more to my savings account as well. I will just have to take each day at a time.

    Things to add to total:
    old MS £5.25
    new MS £8
    sbucks £5
    quidco £1.55
    c/back £6.89
    Amazon £15
    Total: £41.60

    Have a MS booked for Friday and I need to book a helluva lot more!
