Do One, Debt!

GoingToDoIt

Signed off again for a week. Have now been referred to ENT although it's likely they will say I have a bad virus.
My mega shopping order was so worth it! I did drop a level on a lot of brands ( when did I go up a level? On toilet cleaner? I mean you literally flush it away. "I'd like to flush expensive liquid please"). Also got discounted ice-cream which is amazing, throat was so sore before. Two hours ago I could have sworn I had full blown tonsilitis. Now- pretty much fine. I'd like to go to see the fireworks tomorrow in the park so let's hope I stay this way.
Also bought a lot of cake ingredients, have a few friends coming over the next week plus am enjoying doing a bit of baking, will give me a sense if purpose.
Payday is on it's way next Friday...I've got almost enough scraps left in the bank and penny jar to pay the P Off card but I'll leave it until Friday in case of emergency.
I had been doing mobil@pressions but I had to uninstall it as it was stopping my internet from working. Not sold any more bay stuff, done a few rew@rdtv swaggy and inb@x points today.

You were up early Gonna! Or late?

Glad to hear you're so close to paying off the card! And about your throat feeling better! Sorry to hear about another week off work, must be a bit frustrating. How are you feeling?

Hi Catriona, I was up late...my sleep pattern is running 4am to 11am ish... I'll worry about fixing it when I feel better. Seem a lot better today but I've been here before!
Turns out I did sell an item on The bay of E for £8, that paid the cost of a prescription I had to pick up. Have got £3 in my purse to last until payday on Friday...not sure it will be enough!

I just paid the random P Off bill with my scraps of cash. I Have £12 in the bank and £3 in my purse. Still have £5 change to pay into bank and £15 expenses owed from work. So around £35, but have spend £45 on Dibs card so I'm finishing Oct in a few days around £10 down, and having paid a whopping £741 off my debt
A blooming miracle given that even only last month I was spending all of my wages within 10 days of being paid. :dance:

Sorry to hear about your bereavement gonna, and that you're still not well. I hope the ENT referral comes through quickly.

Well done on paying the P Off card :T £741 off your debt is amazing, very well done. Hope that makes you feel a bit better.

Have a good week and hope you feel better soon. Plenty of ice cream

Hi all,
I'm recovering!! :j it's a miracle. My boss was so pleased when I called her today (in an exhausted -please come back I can't cope- kind of a way). My colleague has been off as well. So back to work on Friday (well working from home).
Thanks for all your messages, it does look like I paid a lot, but that will be a one-off for sure. After this it's slow and steady.

I just freaked out a bit as there was a really good swaggy offer (and I am greedy) for a couple of thousand points if you deposit and gamble £5 with a website. I'm not really a gambler, but as the points meant that by spending £5 I'd get £15 of points, I did it. Then I placed a bet on what I think are Brazilian football teams. I have no real concept of how odds work or any of that, I picked the lowest odds because they are most likely to win, right?! Anyway fair play to the lads I bet on because they did win and now I've got £12! I mean it's actually in my bank now :eek: But I'm really worried that I'll become a gambling addict, which is irrational I know, but this is how it probably starts. I can close the account down in a few days, without betting again, can't I? I can. Of course I can.

Plus with that £7 profit I can get the bus to waitrose tomorrow to buy some xmas crackers ( they are half price seriously they are soooooo cheap and v good quality check the website) and pay my penny collection in to the bank that has a coin sorter.

Hey Gonna :T:j

Well done on your successes! Back to work and working through the debt too!

I looked on waitrose website last week and the Xmas stuff was half price, but now it isn't any more, and I was going to go today too... Gutted. Nice biscuit tins I was going to buy for family for Xmas ... I wonder whether they may still have the discount in store, even though the website doesn't show it any more...

GoingToDoIt

Yes I got there, no offers. Checked the website...no offers. Must have just missed out which is a shame.
For the first time ever in 3 years the coin machine was working in the bank! £5 in 5ps and £10.02 in other change plus a USA dime.
Busy day tomorrow calling in to work then going for Nando's with a friend first major social interaction in weeks!
