    hi guys,

    I havent posted in my diary for ages!!! Ive been busy with other things recently. So ok on the debt busting side of things.... i only have my loan left! YAY! which is around £1500 which im wanting to pay off completly by May if i can. So im saving, saving, saving!
    I have only spent £5 of my own money in shops so far this year! Apart from £40 petrol- which is in my buget anyway! I havent spent any money as ive been using my survey vouchers in boots and completly stocked up with everything that i need e.g. face wash, tampons!, deodrant, bath cream, make up etc etc. I wont need to buy anything for at least 6 months on that front!

    Then ive ordered a £12 halfords voucher from toluna as i need engine oil for my car. ;)

    I had a car insurance renewal through yesterday its gone down by £100 its now £530 for a year fully comp which is really good as its a 2 litre gti and im only 24 years old. Other places have tried asking over £1000! :rotfl: I will be paying it montly £43 per month until i pay off my loan then i will pay insurance off in full.

    hi all!:D

    I just had a mini spend of £3.74 on a tickle me cookie monster! was £25! reduced to £15 and scanning at £3.74 at tesco (found on the grabbit section). I had to buy it as my OH brought me the ticle me elmo 2 years ago for xmas as a laugh. And nephew plays with him when he comes over, i love the cookie monster so had to get him as a treat! :rotfl:

    Then i saw on hotukdeals this buy a personalised valentines card for £1.30 delivered plus quidco pay you £2.30 in cashback so i earned £1 and a free valentines card for OH. It really cool i uploaded a pic of us inside it. And 10% goes to charity.:D http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/139080/personalised-valentine-s-day-cards-/
    Normally i spend about £5 on a nice card for him! So saved money there! :T

    I hope slicethepie will get its rooms going again soon, i need so more extra cash! :confused:

    You dont have to put picture of you two on it theres loads of designs to choose form.

    I know how you feel about teeth.....i smashed front teeth with my best mate in a night club when i was 18 and had to have my two front teeth capped ( corwns )! They dont look too bad but when i do a big smile or laugh and you can see gum line there noticeable that there not real! lol:rotfl: So im not a photo fan either!

    Hi all, :D

    First off lilmissmup £2000! OMG!!!!!:confused: Is this which a NHS dentist because i though they could only charge set prices now? Of about £300 maxium?

    Now on the money front, Now my credit cards are clear i have started to pay most of my weekly wages into my Halifax ISA to get interset while im saving to pay the loan off early. I paid £100 in yesterday...the balance in there has only been 15p for the past 6 months. Then i realised it said current interest rate NIL!!!!!:confused: Why on earth does it say that? When i got the ISA last year it was 5.75% something like that anyway. Why does it say NIL now? Is it beacuse i did only have 15p in it? I will have to get on the phone to them i suppose.I hate ringing banks with a passion!

    I just had a look at my credit report online with the free trial, everything looks good apart from egg credit card is still on there and i cancelled them last month. And aslo two catalogues are on there with no at my old address that i havent lived at for 4 years! so ive emailed both cats to close the accounts i never use them! When you close accounts how long does it take for them to go off your history?

    apart from that everything is good.I just wanted to check everything was correct! ......and earn £6.50 quidco!:rotfl:
