Just checked all the figures and the account is currently 105.00 overdrawn, with 3 days to go till payday :eek: Tomorrow could be another fairly high spend day as we're going to a local country fair which costs about 15.00 to get in plus whatever we spend there :rolleyes:
I will come up with a plan for this lot tonight

Twinklie: sorry to hear about rattie hope the hamster helps ease the pain

KC: it was a tns survey that I was sent, you have to fill it in every day for a week, all about your daily routine.Quite boring but a good reward at the end of it

Thanks folks. I'm feeling much more positive and a lot less guilty today. Although, I did that much housework yesterday to take my mind off it and cleaned away all her things etc, that there's very little for me to actually do today. So I think I'm gonna do school prep. ha ha

Wish I could just have those bursts of energy everyday! Maybe Benben can transfer a little energy my way??

I've just booked 3 mystery shops,all for fast food restaurants; two of them are local and dont pay a fee but it will mean a free treat out for me and ds the third one is for when we go away and means I will get a meal and 15.50 on top :j :j considering the holiday was only costing me 6 quid, now I'm being paid nearly a tenner to go :rotfl: :rotfl:

My abel and cole order on quidcohas just tracked, so thats another tenner for the summer challenge :beer: It costs me 10.95 for the box of stuff but this will come out ofaugusts food budget

Ah I looked at that on Quidco but they don't deliver to my area yet, shame!

benbenandme

I must admit 10.95 for a few potatoes and apples seems extortionate to me :eek: but then, if they're going to pay me a tenner for doing it then its okay

Hi was just reading your very first posts and noticed we both have the same birthday so happy birthday to us for Friday:beer: the mad thing is I know im getting £10 as my nan is impossible at keeping secrets and I too was looking forward to a new haircut which I would probably do anyway as its payday. ha ha im so sad to get so excited about getting paid on my bd.

After a month or so of lurking I was thinking of keeping a diary it seems great to get focused and your mystery shopper idea sounds great just don't think I have your sort of commitment but I may try all the same.

Welcome Kezflake and happy birthday for friday to you too !!:beer:

I've finally got my other account back online and its in a worse state than I'd thought too I think I may have to borrow some money from the mortgage pot to get both current accounts sorted :mad:

Thats a bummer, benben.... you seem so organised, how come that happened?

I've done the Abel & Cole thing too - I used to get an organic box delivered, had to stop it eventually - not enough choice then about the products. There was one precious day, tho, when I picked it up from its little hidey hole to bring it into the house, and a hedgehog was in there snaffling the tomatoes... the cats' eyes were on stalks, but they didn't dare touch it, of course. By the time I got the box outside again, a few minutes later, the hedgehog's mate was wandering around outside the front door, looking for her/him. It was brill.
