Sorting my life out diary!

Morning all,

Hope you all had a great Christmas day!

Im just back form the boxing day sales and well i came back with nearly all my money which is very good really! I always pop down to get next years xmas cards and my brothers and sis in laws birthday presents as there both in febuary. All i found was a present for my bro £5 and Xmas cards £1.50 then 2 birthday cards £1.80 so in total spent only £8.30 today!

Normally i find loads in sales but i had my DFW head on saying do you really need this maria? :A

So all the spare change i have in my purse will now be going into my piggy sealed pot challenge. Im not counting how much i put in ,that way i will put more in!:D

Glad ya had a nice christmas

Have you seen the new demotivator tool - http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/protect/demotivator/

I love it! I just printed out one for my OH to stick on his wall somewhere! lol

lilmissmup

Does it have a category for apple ipod touch :rotfl:

mariagti

Is that what you or the OH has just brought?:rolleyes:

lilmissmup

No i haven't brought it but really want too with my christmas money.

Its christmas money so shouldn't feel too guilty but the other half of me is saying put it in savings!!! :rotfl:

Although i would have to put in about £50 myself for it and i don't use my ipod mini that often so thats the cons!

But its pretty and shiny!!!

Ah tough one! Well my christmas money OH gave me wont be going in the savings as he gave it to me to buy something nice for myself in the sales! You need to do the same treat yourself as it was a gift for xmas! for the rest of the year all your spare money will be saved i bet! But maybe not on a ipod if you already have a working one! Remember........ Do i need this or do i just want it really bad!!!??? Your answer is you just want it really bad!:D And if you dont use the mini ipod often you would prob buy the new one use it for few weeks then not use that too!

But its up to you.....it is Christmas!!

lilmissmup

I know.

If i do get it will be from play as they are doing them cheapest i have seen and can get
4% cashback so will feel slightly less guilty!

I am better than i was last year, last year i just would have run out and got it but having my own house will be so much better than having a shiny new ipod although not as pretty ha ha ha

The new year is creeping forward!! I cant wait a fresh new year:D

Yesterday i traded in some of my survey points.I got £15 paypal from lightspeed! Lightspeed is a fav of mine because you can get the money!:D
And i just converted my tonula points for a £12 HMV e voucher to spend in the sales but didnt realise they dont send them instantly! doh!!

The others i cant decide what vouchers to get! I was so silly not to buy my xmas presents with them! I forgot all about them until it was too late! But thats what im going to do this year save them till christmas.

Im just thinking of what my new years resolutions will be......

My loan payment came out today so just checked my balance and its £17.33 overdrawn! Its ok though as i have £100 overdraft. I have £70 in purse to pay into bank tomorrow, i could drive upto my work and get my wages but cant be bothered to go to work when im on holidays! i will just pick it up monday when i go back to work.

Thats the last payment coming out of my bank now until the 15th january.Im still waiting for my money off my OH i keep forgetting it when i leave his place. Must get it off him tomorrow!

There hasnt been many surveys over xmas so just been doing toluna polls....theres loads! 15 points per poll.And piggy clicks of course.:D

Ive also been searching the house for things to list on ebay 2morrow but cant find anything im all ebayed out! Even all my xmas presents were all good this year!:rotfl:
