The Second Coming - CAFCGirls Debt Diary

CAFCGirl

Not much to report today.

Its my day off, and I'm travelling up to the BF's later on today so that I can travel on from his into London the following morning for a work thing.

Got plenty to do in the house, and am just waiting for my online banking to bring itself up to date so I know where I stand.
Waiting for PayPal to pay out into my account, so that'll be £60 in the pot, Quidco is currently just shy of £40, and I've got a cheque to cash for £30, and then my bonus cheque money which I need to withdraw from my bank account as its now cleared, so thats £25.

So thats £155, although Quidco will probs take a little while yet, so I'll discount that one, so £115

When I get back from my travels lol I'll be raiding the flat for the second lot of items to put on ebay!

cafc girl what are you planning to do with all that 'spare' money?

CAFCGirl

that spare money has been utilised to clear little wee bit of overdraft...

if only there was more spare money...

Had my haircut (my hair still has its own budget-giving up money for lent challenge!), and after last times convo, thought hairdresser would be cool potential housemate, however shes not planning to move for at least a year so a bit gutted since our convo last time made me think it would be something she'd want to do pre christmas....

So now I'm a bit back to square one..... how else to find someone to share with? Advert in paper, I dont want to be harrased by weirdos!

Latest update.

As some of you may remember I gave my photography portfolio to my business op's director. I saw him on wednesday on the trip to London and he basically said thanks very much. He then told me that the brand director was going to contact me with a brief for a smaller project, see how I get on with that and that'll demonstrate more of what I can do, etc etc.

The brand director called me yesterday and went through what they're thinking of, and is going to send me the brief to my home address. Its for our next promotion and basically (if they're any good) they want to use one of my shots as the graphic image. Pretty cool eh? Plus they'll pay for the shot and reimburse any props etc I need to get......

So now Im just waiting for the brief to come through so I can start thinking and planning, as obviously it would be really great for me to get that in the bag.... the money would be nice too but it could lead to more work in the future....

Other than that, I'm day off today, need to go out and take bf's dvd rental back, get some bread and milk, and then thats about it for me!

Thanks hun,

I've just had my brief through, so now ive got my thinking cap on! With a nice cuppa tea by my side lol

Did bits I needed to do in town and got this weeks shopping in £11 out of grocery budget....

CAFCGirl

Well its been a few quiet days for me. This photography project is prooving to be a bit of a minefield so that would explain why I haven't been around very much. Im desperate to make it a good shot so that I can at least get a little bit of money from it.....

hows it going cafc girl? finished the shot yet?

CAFCGirl

Yeah all got sent yesterday, and now we're into discussing how to further improve on it with some further direction but theyre happy so far, and have now mentionned discussing money!

My favorite subject!

I've also arranged to go to some old school friends housewarming in London, just to catch up with people who I've lost contact with since I moved, and try and rebuild some bridges there, and make myself some friends really I guess!

It'll cost a bit of money getting up there and back, but you've got to live as well haven't you?!

No further news on the houseshare front unfortunately. However an old school friend in this area, knows of someone who may need a place so is going to mention me to her... we shall see!

Another day another dollar!!!

Spent £3.95 today.... whoops, lunch and a cheesecake

Other than that I'm still waiting for an email from the company regarding photos. I hope they get their butts in gears, as they want it done by Monday night... pushing it!

Have had major falling out with the boyfriend over some selfish behaviour on his part... so Im a bit stressed out with that....
Had a rough nights sleep... so have been feeling a bit bleurgh, and think a cold is on its way.....

But.... payday at the end of this week woohoo, and another £250 knocked off! WAHEY!
And then if I get this new brief through, I'll get some more money in the pot... oooooooh what to spend it on
