Sorting my life out diary!

Im anoyyed with myself as i could of won £75 on grand national. I went to place my bet with betfair ( i have been a member for a year so couldnt get the £50 they were offering) on comply and die but my card details had expired.My mum had my new card with her down town. So i didnt bother. And of course the horse i was going to bet on won! I could of got £75 for £5 bet (which betfair would have paid back the £5 after 24 hours as i had a letter earlier this week they would).

:mad: :mad:

Anyway yesterday i paid off £500 on my credit card.

So now new total debt is £1897.:D

I did have £1000 saved up but thought i better only pay £500 off on card because i have MOT saturday and i dont know if car will need any work doing. Plus still need the cambelt done after MOT is cleared.
Im so happy my debt is going down fast, now i only have that one direct debt for mobile i dont worry as much.
On my statement it says interest to be charged on balance this month £0.00! I thought my 0% had run out this month but it must be the next! So even better gives me this month to save, save , save again to pay off card.

Its very cold here today and snowing so i think im going to spend the rest of the afternoon sorting through my clothes to see if there is any to ebay!

Pigsback is doing my head in. They owe me 300 points for bingo rooms and still havent given me them yet. I emailed them 2 weeks ago when they were due and they said they were waioting for a list from them.But i still havent got them. I want them soon as i need 300 more points to get a voucher!

Also valued opinions tracked some of the pending money but still need 50p to get it upto £10.I have £2.00 pending. So that will probably take another 3 weeks!

Im still waiting for my £12 Halfords voucher from Toluna.Hopefully it will come this week.

I had to spend £11.99 today on a new pair of cheapo trainers for work.

Im not doing so well on the extra money this week, im not making my £5 a day target.

Pigsback are rubbish, no-one on the pigsback thread has had the points, tbh i don't think we will as there was some discussion on there about having to deposit when one member emailed them :rolleyes:

I brought a feathering razor from boots with a piggy voucher and now cut my own hair! My mum has always dyed it for me. But now she trims the back for me too! and now i do the feathering! It just the layers i need done properly from my hairdresser.

YAY!!!!:j :j :j :j My MOT passed!:j :j :j

So only cost £44 for MOT. And i asked them for a quote for cambelt and water pump change. They said it doesnt really need it as peugeot say 80,000 miles or 10 years. My car is 60,000 and 8 years old. I will havce a check in my handbook see what it says coz im sure it was 6 years or 80,000 miles. I like to be sure when it comes to cambelt.

I did 4 hours at work today after i had the car done. So an extra £23 ish.

I had a free roc make up bag come today i found from on the freebies thread, its really good for a freebie, has mirror, headband, and a £5 off roc voucher. Roc wipes are only £5.99 so i will get a pack for 99p!:D

I really should do some slicethepie ......but cant be bothered. I want to do some more comments on writerssharecoz its £1 per comment. but there all closed.
