Small Steps Out Of Massive Debt!

Oh that's a good tip about perfume! I have none left at all now So I'm going to try for some samples :rotfl: x

Thank you for the perfume tip. I just got a sample of my favourite perfume today 😊

Good idea with the samples. I very quickly go nose blind on new smells so that makes a lot of sense.

I've done the feel unique pick n mix thing before, c£4 for some nice samples and you get the cash back as credit for the next order - so if I know I am going to be ordering I do the sample order first.

I use the free perfume sample bottles too GC. I won't try a new perfume without using the sample bottle for a week and they are great for taking on holiday.

That is also true, I can never buy a perfume without having tried it for a few days. One I tried was lovely to start with but the vanilla notes came through so strongly after a couple of hours and gave me unfortunately flashbacks to my teenage overuse of Impulse Body Spray. I'd be gutted if I'd bought the bottle first!

I get overwhelmed if I try too many scents at once. I hate walking through the perfume section of department stores. Too many smells! :eek:
I will check out Feel Unique next time my scent stash needs topping up

Good plan with the perfumes, I'm not s huge perfume user, but I do have 1 I particularly like, will try and get a sample bottle for taking away with me.

Also: £20 a week from PA wow, I'm nearly at £20 after 3weeks and thought I was doing well.
I agree, much more interesting surveys. 1 they kept emailing me about last week needed a microphone which I didn't have access to at the time, so had to pass, this morning's survey paid £1.65 and went from pending to available almost instantly.

Ebay is good for finding samples

Ha, I think I've jinxed myself with talking about my previous PA success ... I've had nothing for days

Bleh. Today is a bit of a meh-day. Not much going on and I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself with how much longer I've got to slog it out for. I found myself visiting several online shopping websites feeling convinced that I need to buy something ... I've loaded up my basket and then deleted everything about 12 times now! I know that I don't need to buy anything, and I also know that I feel like shopping because I'm feeling bored and a bit down in the dumps.

Saying that, we are getting low on a few cleaning products. Perhaps I will go to Aldi after work to get my shopping fix buying laundry detergent and limescale remover. Might treat myself to a new pack of microfibre dusters too :rotfl:

Wow! you're really treating yourself there GC!

Seriously, though, well done for emptying that basket and not succumbing to the addictive calls of purchasing!

I'm with you on the 'meh' days. They just come out of nowhere but they do pass, so keep fighting through it.

Sorry you're having a meh day - the weather is seriously not helping those moods. Can I add to your perfume suggestion doing the same for foundations - all the big brands carry quite generous samples and if you ask they are usually more than happy to give you a few, particularly if you are effusive in the first place. A few comments about sensitivity after wearing for a while, which I genuinely do suffer from, usually does the trick. And its worth asking even more if you are buying a full-size one.

Good skills on emptying your shopping basket, that takes a hell of a lot of will power and I admire you for that. You're smashing these, don't give in now, you're ace and I love keeping up with your diary x keep going GC xx
