Every day dilemma...!

HeadAboveWater

Will have another go but don't hold out much hope! Generally never qualify for surveys or the links don't work. Can muster up half a dozen points by 'watching' videos. That's about it

Superpoints? No. Well, not yet anyway? It good/easy/worthwhile?

Really not helping myself much today... Payday so went a wee bit mad!

Had to Tesco food shop for tea tonight - fajitas YUMMY

Was in Boots and got a Barry M trio (smoky) eyeshadow for £1.25! BARGAIN (even though I didn't need it!!)

They've the 10 points per £1 offer on for over £15. Course my shopping came to £14.92!! Chewing gum to the rescue! :rotfl: And got extra 100 points for over £8 on skincare

Think I did ok all things considered...

I've just set myself up a spending diary too so I can account for all of the budgeted £x per week

Have done really well this week - haven't bought anything online! :T

Still have a few pounds left from my weekly budget :j

Did loan my brother money but will get that back in a week (first time I've ever loaned anyone money - it's usually me scrounging!! lol )

Good start to the month I think

Update!

Month has gone ok. Brother is a week late in giving me my money back, but I've survived and not struggled too much without it. Plus I was off work for a week and had a few things going on with the family which cost money too! Well done me! :j

Nipped out on my tea break there to get a pint of milk. M&S only had litre jars so had to go hunting elsewhere. Almost bought a lemon sponge cake for my OH (reduced to 50p!!) - but didn't. Almost got the B1G5F Soltan stuff from Boots seen in another thread - but didn't. Almost got 2 scones on the way back to the office for me and a colleague - but didn't!

Going to my sisters at lunch time so that's that dilemma sorted

Hard work this no spending stuff!!! :rotfl:

Hi

I find that to not shop online at work, I favourite links for the things I want, make lists etc. That way I'm looking at the stuff but not buying it. I promise myself I'll come back to it in a week or so.

If I decide I do want something that much I then spend ages checking that it's defnitely at the cheapest price, can I get cashback etc. By the time I've done all that if I still really want it then I can have it, knowing it is also the best deal I'm going to get.

I tend to find more often than not when I'm clearing out my links I think why the hell did I ever favourite that! :rotfl:

lol :rotfl:

So you're 'window(s)' shopping technically!

The 'watch list' on ebay is a great invention! Spied a purse there which was dearer than I'd ever have even considered spending before, but debated in my head for a week before I went ahead and treated myself. And obviously after hunting around online for a cheaper one!!

Yay! :j Got my money back from my brother and got it lodged in the bank straight away.

Hadn't brought lunch with me to work so was expecting to have to buy something, but was at a wee awards ceremony via work and they had a whole spread of sarnies, cocktail sausages, mini sog rolls and tray bakes out, so managed a NSD :T

Have a great weekend everyone

I spend mine, getting indigestion from eating too quick, trying to answer the phone between mouthfuls, repeatedly telling my colleagues im on my break and then giving up and going 'back' to work :rotfl:
