Diary of a spendy cow

mooomin

Money stuff:

Current account: £420
Savings: £939.41 (awaiting arrival of passport form so that'll go down a bit this month!)
Tesco credit card: Cleared :j
Food account: £239.31
Purse: £17.50

It's all looking reasonably healthy I went way over my weekly spend challenge budget, but I'm going to refocus next week.

I was out last night for dinner so had a lie in this morning I haven't done my comps apart from the daily ones so I'll need to try and catch up with them later!

Just after 9am and I've already been to two supermarkets :rotfl:

£1.98 spent in Ald! on bread, brocolli and onions. Finally things I want on the Super Six again £2.67 spent in Sainsbugs on split peas (soup-making in plan for later), crumpets and bananas. For that whopping spend I also got vouchers for:

• Double points on my next shop
• 200 points if I spend £5 on toys
• £4.50 off my next £30 shop

My Adpoints for the week are up to 58, which is definitely better than nothing I just need to do some plotting about how best to spend money in Sainsbugs this week to take advantage of that £4.50 voucher...!

SB are giving vouchers like they're going out of fashion

Just for doing the double exchange voucher (at 8 this morning), I got £3 off £20 shop and 400 pts off £10 toys shop.

My freezers are completely full with the £10 of free desserts added.

Best plan I've come up with is to study the 2014 birthday and Xmas list to see who I can buy toys for with points as £16 still on my card.

Speaking of which, I got an email from them this morning with my points statement where they gave me two triple points offers too :rotfl:

I've had quite a spendy day, but there have been bargains!

£5.36 in Morrisons for £59.36 of shopping as I used my Savers Stamps As well as stocking up the fridge and cupboards, I got some Christmas chocolate, a mug for a friend's Christmas box (only 98p!) and a set of pillows as mine are useless.

£7.49 on a scarf for Mr Mooo's stepdad for Christmas. There was a half price sale on

£15.50 on a new jumper from M&S. I returned a £12 top and then used a 20% off voucher, so got a good buy considering it was £35 full price.

Money gubbins:

£102.36 received today from my second job. I often forget to submit timesheets for this, so that's about three months worth I transferred just over half to my savings account so that's now at £1002.65 :j :j

Current account: £390
Food account: £229.13
Christmas account: £240.48 Still a few presents to buy including Mr Mooo but there's one more payday before Christmas.
Car fund: £102.66 :eek: Nothing is allowed to go wrong for a while The car did come in under the estimate by about £50 though and seems to be running well.
Purse: £21 which is my weekly spend challenge for the week.

I was going to go to the office today but have decided to work from home instead, so I'll be cold but spend less money :rotfl: My office is really busy on Mondays and it's hard to get a desk and there are often interruptions. Hopefully I'll get more done here. Not commuting will help me get caught up on my competitions as well Not had any major wins recently, but it's nice when they do happen. Hopefully something will land before Christmas

NSD as far as the weekly challenge goes, but some money has gone from the food and the Christmas budgets I got Mr Mooo a posh radio for Christmas from the Amazon Black Friday deals, so anything else I get for him will be more stocking filler type stuff.

My Adpoints have been refreshed, so I'm doing that while watching Masterchef Australia - my favourite show at the moment

Hi mooo, tell me about the AdPoints if you don't mind? I am also loving MasterChef Australia too. Trouble is I always end up so hungry and wander off to raid the Goslings treat stash.
