Great news on the payrise, my next one is June 08.

How you getting on with christmas shopping got any great bargains?

Thanks! Yeah i got so many bargins! Too many to list! Now im doing the same for my OH, his given me a list of presents he needs to buy and im going through the net to find them at there cheapest! Ive also just set him up a quidco account as he was too lazy!:rolleyes:

This morning i put up the xmas decorations now cant wait for xmas to get here!

A bit of naughty news though is that my OH owed me £450 for his share of the holiday.He was going to pay me when he got his xmas bonus but instead he brought me a set of wheels i wanted for my car :rolleyes: which were £350. So now he only owes me £100. The holiday money got put on my 0% credit card but its only 0% until febuary. So ive got some work to do to get that paid off as its just come throu the post at £899! :eek:

Hi guys,

Just been reading about the new martin lewis show coming on in january. I cant wait to see! love watching money saving shows espically martins!:D :money:

Later im going to cancel my egg card. I never spent on it! i only got one to get the £25 cashback from quidco! now thats been paid im going to cancel it!;) He he he!:D

Also ive just printed off 3 copies of the template letters to the credit report places. I'd like to see what they say about my history and check its all correct! £6 spend in total for that for the £2 cheques each.

My car is booked into garage on friday....dont worry no spend for me its a xmas present.Having it lowered ready for my wheels to go on! lol:D
But the thing is how do i get to work? its much too far to walk and i have to catch 3 buses to get there! I have booked a day off but its a bit of a waste of holiday day!

I wish i had Friday off, can't wait until Xmas break now

Hi all,

Well past couple of days have been a headache for me!

My xmas present set of alloy wheels came on wednesday and well there nothing like the description! We got them from ebay it said they were in excellent condition and 6mm tread on each tyre and only two tiny scuffs on one spoke.
But they came and they had two tyres that only have 3mm tread on them and they had sprayed them themselves!!!!:mad: not a happy bunny! :mad: We emailed them and all they said back was 'well how much do you think there worth? we can give yousome money back' thats it! not sorry for falsly advertising the wheels. So i told them i want half my money back so i can buy two new tyres at least! but id prefer a full refund and they can have them back! as getting the wheels sprayed would be another £40 each!
So garage appointment got canceled too.So at least i didnt have to have friday off unpaid!

lilmissmup

Awww what a pain! Hope you get some nice wheels!

Because the wheels werent as expected now im having to find new ideas of what i want for xmas from my OH. So there we were walking round the shops when i spotted this fantanstic massive piggy bank in birthdays and its so cute! only £12.99 its huge! So cant wait to start saving in it!:D

Thats all i wanted so OH is going to give me some money for the rest of my pressie to spend in the sales! i cant wait for the sales!!!:D

I managed to save all of last weeks wages and this fridays wages so now i have £250 in my purse to pay into my bank to clear off a lump of my barclay card next week!:j

lilmissmup

I saw the piggy bank you mean in there the other night, i want one too but as i already am doing the sealed pot challenge i will just stick with my terramundi! As being able to get the money out will be too tempting!
