I don't need another skinny Latte

Skinnylatte

Phew, my viewsbank came in today £28.55, most of it for completing a very tedious house insurance telephone survey. I had to phone 6 insurance companies and ask for a quote, snore!
Any way that is paid straight to the smallest card taking it below £300 and oh so close to 85% paid.
Average daily spend is £22.60, still over by £3.27 so some more cutting back.
I'm working away now until Friday so that should be no problem.

Mileage claim in today for £306 paid at the end of the month, that will see off the penultimate card, so close, so exited :j

Shopped at Sainsbobs tonight, I only went in to try this new ap called shopitize. Buy 4 pints of milk for £1, scan the barcode and receipt and get £1 back It seemed to work OK, and I got some yellow sticker stuff for the freezer while I was in. I have to earn £5 before I can withdraw anything from the ap though, and there's nothing else I need, will see how it goes.

Oh my goodness, it's a long time til payday, another 14 days

13 days till payday......

I needed some screen wash enroute today, £4.99 for 5 litres or £2.99 for concentrate that makes 10 litres mmmm:D

Ebay stuff at £32, nearly half way to a blender :T

Average daily spend £21.2, getting there, and I love this way to measure it!

10 days to payday .....:(

I had another affiliate payout of £133, so close to paying off the BCard now.

The dress I bought off FB last week for £7.50 sold tonight for £11 on fleabay, so well chuffed with that. Everything else is at £29 finishing tomorrow, and I've found a blender I want for £35, so I hope to order that tomorrow.

Tonight I'm home alone, DD is as BFs and DS has gone to a party. I had to laugh as I ferried a car full or teenagers to the party. One of DSs friends described how he'd got everything ready for when he got home. Duvet in the back room, paracetamol, water, munchies and a sick bucket lol.
Luckily until now DS has been really sensible, he doesn't seem to like to drink much, unlike his sister!
Tomorrow I'm going walking with the activity club I joined,and pub lunch after. York is really expensive to park, however using justpark.com, I found a car park all day for £2.90. very impressed, it's the first time I've used that website, but will definitely use it again.
DD is 18 is a couple of weeks. I've ordered a cute cake for her, its £36, I've never had a cake made before, but it's a special birthday so I'm splashing out a bit. She didn't want a party, so I'm taking her to Paris for a couple of days instead. Which reminds me I need to find some cheap park tickets.
Shopping today £18 and filled up with fuel. A whole tank full for £44 :T
Average daily spend year to date is £22.26, I still need to reduce this.
Happy weekend all x

Well done for turning a profit on the dress. OH has agreed that we can list some stuff tomorrow. Fingers crossed that they sell. I want a box emptied as well as the money.

Skinnylatte

I'll have everything crossed for your fleabay sales INOD. I will be watching to see how you get on.

Well I just checked my bank account and realised that my last BC payment went through twice, no idea how that happened. I've had to move money from my savings to cover it which is a bit of a pain.

HOWEVER that did only leave £26 left on it, which I've now paid. SO down to just the one and only last card AND under £3000

A momentous occasion, and not even any alcohol in the house to celebrate it with. I'll go and have a hot chocolate instead :beer:

Fantastic news re the debt reduction, even if it was a bit of a surprise and well done on the Fleabay sale x

What a busy week you've had and well done on funding your blender and paying off the BC, woo, 1 down, 1 to go :T:T Enjoy the hot choccie

Love how you've set an average daily spend target and are tracking it - that's a brilliant idea.

And a great birthday treat for DD, what a wonderful Mum you are.

Aw that's quite made my night, thank you Ali

Is that the weekend gone already? I think I need another day to get over it :rotfl:

Went for a lovely long walk today with my walking friends, and a very average pub lunch, I begrudge the £8.95 it cost. I'd be quite disappointed if I served it up myself.

This weeks fleabay sales have generated....£60.60 :j Enough for a new blender and some. I just need to wait for peeps to pay up now. The sports books don't finish until later in the week, but with no bids or watchers, I think I've bought a box of lemons, oh well only a fiver lost.

I hope you ll had a fun and frugal weekend
