Have just requested a payout from Ciao (£11.43) which takes up to 5 weeks :eek: :eek: . Still, its a bit more to the pot for this month!! Am also expecting a payout from Yougov too as I've gone over the £50 mark at last, only taken 2 years!!:rotfl:

HIya benben, just caught up with your happenings! Sounds as though you have some fantastic goals and are well motivated. Look forward to reading your happenings regularly!! :-)

Just want to say 'good luck' and congratulations on what you've achieved so far. I'm also now debt free and determined not to get into the same position again.

Have just chased up my vouchers from TNS shopandscan which I ordered in June but hadn't arrived. I think the lady thought I was making it up that I hadn't received them but I genuinely haven't!! Still, £40 Next vouchers on their way now which should help towards the shopping I did there in the sale

Well today I pent £82 on my hair :eek: :eek: :eek: and a £2 tip:o , then spent £2.30 in pCWorld on some reduced stationery which was a bargain ... sellotape (proper stuff, not cheapy;) ), stapler and staples, 4 lots of post-it notes, 6 gel pens and 4 marker pens. I know, I know, I didn't actually need any of it but it was a bargain!!:o
I've also just done an Asda order for delivery on tuesday (free delivery if you spend over £25), so it saves my petrol;) and also means I don't have to lug it all up 2 flights of stairs, so I took advantage and ordered all the heavy stuff !!
My new duvet cover and pillowcases arrived today, I ordered them from M&S and it only cost me a tenner as they had given me £25 credit voucher for messing up my sale order :rotfl:

Today I took ds to the beach which was a fairly cheapy day out ... £3.40 for the car park :eek: , £3.55 for lunch and £3.60 for a return trip on the little noddy train (his favourite part of going to the seaside;) ). Have also spent £2.50 on bread, milk and bits on the way back. Had a lovely day though:D This morning I had my new blinds delivered and fitted, which was budgeted for when I moved house as I mainly have velux windows and they are hugely expensive, but a necessity in this heat and also now I shouldn't wake up at 4 in the morning or something daft when it gets light :rolleyes: . I've got vertical blinds too which give me a bit more privacy too
Got another £30 birthday money in the post too :beer: only my sil got the date wrong so I can't bank it till September:eek: still at least I can't spend it:p

Another £20 tracked in quidco today (for switching electricity) and so far today haven't spent anything! :j Will have to spend some on bus fare & train fare later though and am going to a wedding reception tonight but I won't drink much as I'm working tomorrow :mad: Got a free ink cartridge through the post this morning (to go on ebay). Not much else to report ...

Haven't been about for a couple of days, but the wedding reception was lovely, had a really great time with my mates and my friend looked stunning in her wedding dress :smileyhea . There was a free bar too :beer: :j :T

I've been working for the last 2 days but now I've finished my old job (yesterday) and don't start my new one till September, so I have the rest of the month to get sorted and make some money!;)

Today I got a cheque for £50 from Yougov :j :j and a note saying I need to pick up a letter from the Post Office (£40 Next vouchers I think:D ) so a good day so far!!
I have managed to stick to my budget for the last week, and saved £20 as my Mum gave me a lift back from hers instad of catching the train!:T
