    Ok so I've made an executive decision...

    I'm going to take the £6 out of my £2 savings pot... I know but I have done lots this morning!

    I've signed up to Swagbucks and I've joint the challenge - i'm on the vampires tead so I really have to focus as we are lagging as a team! but i've met todays target and some I'm going to try for a £10 paypal payment.

    I've also been invited to an instore assessement for a weekend job to help towards christmas I just can't make the first session they have offered me :o so hopefully I can go for another one I still haven't heard from the other two mind..

    I've also applied for another two full time jobs :D so here's hoping...

    I've reserved 2 more christmas presents from the Grabbit board - two my little ponies with accessories for £2.49 and a tub of plasticine and cutters for £4.49 so thats 3 pressies for £18.97 so far 9 to go!

    i've eaten my splurge pizza for lunch so now to watch the films i have saved on sky johnny english, my week with marylin and i might watch a scary one and finish my moutain of ironing!

    Another NSD!!! 17 til I hit my target and still 24 days of October left - i'm gonna smash this target! i'm determined!

    Evening all

    So today wasn't a NSD i bought myself some dinner on the way to my friends £1.20 :o and kinda MSE I bought my favourite Foundation on ebay... well thought i'd give it a go - its normal £12 but I got it for £6

    BUT! I have downloaded the Quidco App and figured out I can make about £2 on the way to work by checking in at various shops :D:D

    I chased up my AA cashback..and i'm just doing my swagbucks challenge - come on Vamps!! :rotfl:

    Other than my big spend up of £7.20 nothing further to report :)

    Evening all!

    Well the NSD haven't been going too well.... :o

    But i have done better than I usually would have done..

    I went to "Spin & abs" class yesterday at the gym and discovered I must actually have abs... I can't see them but boy do they hurt today..so I didn't go to the gym today...:rotfl:Zumba tomorrow!

    No news on the work front (full time or weekend) I applied for another weekend job today though...something has to come up - I did consider royal mail but i'm sure i've heard negative things about their xmas work not being more than 2 weeks...

    I did get an acceptance from the management company for my payment arrangements which is another weight off my mind!

  • Royal mail temp Xmas job is until the last day of Jan.

    I only know because I went for the interview 2 weeks ago and was offered a place, however at the time I'd been offered a better job and ended up losing out because I told RM no and then decided the other job was too much :o

    Oh no!! can you not ring them?? you never know?? i've completed the application - i've just got to check my CV dates I just don't know how much weekend work they will have?

    this week HAS to be a complete NSW I have £30 to last me until the 25th :o my fault really i went to visit a friend today that has been really sick and it cost me £20 in petrol :mad: but only because I got lost...:o still it was a big spend but she was so pleased to have a visitor it was worthwhile - she has been there for me on many an occasion.

    is it really bad that i'm wishing the month away?... I want to get paid so I can pay more stuff of the signature :D

    so the week ahead...I have 2 work functions this week so I only have to sort 5 dinners this week...I need to pop over to the MSE oldstyle - i've got some frozen ready meals but i was wondering if I take them into work we only have a freezer... I dunno I could still microwave them and eat them for lunch?

    Well today was going so well....

    Then his lordship run out of cat food...I gave him a tin of tuna this morning but had to stop off at A**i for a box of dinners to last him till pay day - pleased to say I bought the cheap stuff and he cleared his plate!! which is a right result - £8 saving a month on the brand I use to buy! (as of today) :j

    He had also changed tactics....normally he follows me when I have my own dinner and tries to get as close as possible.... tonight he has decided he knows my chair so he sat in before I walked in with my dinner..and hes like "whats that?..can I eat it??"..cheeky little...:rotfl:

    still haven't heard from greenflag regarding my cancellation - they said accounts would be in touch to let me know what I owed or what they owed me...

    My friend gave me my birthday present early today - a lovely dress that I had eyed up ages ago...she wanted to give me it early so I can wear it Saturday :D

    while I was in A**i I also picked up cakes to take into work which is much cheaper than if i'd stopped off on the way to work.. :D

    I'm loving the smug feeling I get when i'm being all MSE :money:
