My Diary v3.0

Got to love it when you hit the wrong button a wipe your post! Grrr.


Anyway - happy Friday everyone!


This is my 8th to last weekly payday. Hey-ho, times they are a-changing and I am prepared for monthly pay!


Still umming and aahing about how best to overpay my student loan. I am sure it will fall into place soon enough.


Pro.Ac survey site is sitting at just over £20 in total, but some of it is awaiting approval, so not quite ready to be withdrawn. So that is £20 in just over 2 weeks. If I can average 2 x £21 withdrawals a month, I can make the equivalent of 24 weekly payments in a year to my Student loan which will reduce the end date by almost 6 months - meaning it will finish in 2017, not 2018!


Really desperate to do a bootfair - sick of looking at all the boxes full of stuff we have cleared from around the house. July looks like it is pretty full every weekend, so it will have to be August before we can do one! Just want to clear some space. There are some clothes there which I took out last year - if they don't sell this time around I will take them to a CS. As much as I would like to get some money back for them... I am fed up with the space it is all taking up!


Ok, so I think that is me up to date! Looking for a nice easy Friday at work... yeah right!

Just requested £3.37 from COS. There is hardly ever anything on there that we actually buy, so I am withdrawing what I have and calling it a day..... for now!

Morning All!


What a cracking morning! Was reading 22'c on way into work this morning before 8!!


Have earmarked the 14th August as "bootfair Sunday"! I think I am still house-sitting, so it will be a case of popping home on the Sat afternoon to help OH pack everything up - and then he will either spend the night back down at the house with me and we'll go together, or I will meet him there in the morning! We stripped DSS's room at the weekend and now have even more boxes stacked in the lounge! It looks like we are hoarders!! lol


We are away again this weekend! (honestly it feels like we just don't stop at the moment). Travelling Friday morning and a B&B Friday night. An event on Saturday and then OH has something up his sleeve for the Saturday night - but I have no idea what! Hotel Sat night and then a leisurely drive and nose about on the way back Sunday. Will be nice if the weather holds out!! :O) Having worked 3 6 day weeks, I am more than ready for a break! Only 4 days this week and then 5 the week after, so not too bad!


Catch you all later - hope you manage to enjoy the sunshine! xxx

Hi Nats

I've just been reading through from the last time I posted, you've been busy

News from me

• made a dress
• made a top
• altered a dress for my neice
• got a new job

There's probably other stuff too but can't think of anything at the moment!

Took my mum to hospital for an appointment yesterday, I only went and fainted!

Any way I'll pop to my own diary and update things and I'll pop back soon x

So, today is my Friday as I am off work tomorrow - but there isn't a lot to report as I haven't been paid (as it's only Thursday!) So all monetary shuffling will have to wait until Monday!


£20.12 requested from Pro Ac this morning - up to 5 days until it arrives in my P.Pal account. I then need to whip it out of there before OH decides to buy something and snaffles it up!


Hi KD! Oh bless you at the hospital (I know 2 people who virtually cannot step foot in hospitals without passing out!) - Just heading over to your diary now! x

Hi All!
Back at work today after a long weekend off work. Wasn't all that low spend to be honest, but...
we had a lovely time
the sun split the trees for the whole 3 days
Cashback was earned on the B&B for Friday
the B&B had a local discount card attached to their front door key which gave us 20% off our evening meal
We picked up a couple of sandwiches and picnic bits which did us 2 days worth of lunches (thanks to the cool bag, 2 frozen ice blocks and the lady at the B&B lending us a bit of fridge space to be able to carry the spare over to Saturday - she re-froze the blocks for us too)
B&B and hotel both had breakfast included - loads of choice Sunday so didn't spend of lunch as we were both full
The bar bill Sat night was a good 3 alcoholic drinks, an Irish coffee and a normal coffee light
Although reserved online, Saturday nights accommodation was paid for on checkout so came into this months CC bill
Popped into a bootfair yesterday - OH has a nose for hunting them out! Picked up a very funky, brand new pair of ridiculous shoes for £5! They are pretty mad, but I love them and for £5 they should sedate my desire to buy shoes for a while (will post a pic at some point if anyone is interested!)


So I am more than happy!


£20.12 from Pro.Ac has made its way into my bank account via paypal (OH didn't get his mitts on it!)


Only weekly pay cheques to go now! Still feel kinda sad about this - but can't be changed!


Nothing selling on fleabay at the moment, so have stopped all the auto-relisting and will wait until later in the year when hopefully people are gearing up fro Christmas. All the items would make lovely gifts!


Still at 95p on Q.co - boo!


Right, I need to get out of work and head home whilst the sun is still shining!


Hope you all had a great weekend? Nats x

Hi All!


I have decided to track my student loan money in my signature! I have decided to save everything I 'earn' from surveying etc and then pay a lump off in early March next year... and the year after that too! May as well earn some interest on it first! lol (currently £23.49 which is Pro.Ac and the COS money I withdrew!). Just filled in an online form to get screened for a telephone survey relating to a cashback site. If selected they will pay me £40.00... That's almost 2 weeks student loan repayments!! Fingers crossed!
Nothing else pending that I can think of! Catch you all later! x
