    Paypal account is now back up to £32.30 (once topcashback e-cheque clears) and am currently doing slice the pie to get another £5 in it, only 50 more tracks to do tonight.

    I am 19p off claiming my first £3 paypal payment from Archerfish too. Joined November but you only get 1p at most on clicks but only takes a few mins so do it...probably a bit of a waste though but all helps!

    I paid off £100 on my credit card last night, been thinking about the money in my savings, got £860 in there but my 0% runs out next month on my card, not sure whether to get another 0% card and keep the savings or put the whole £860 on it....just can't bare to part with it plus was saving that for the loan being paid off early....

    Decisions Decisions. :o

    Evening.

    I am sitting here chilling with some barcardi breezers as had a pants day at work, well had a crappy week actually.

    Still deciding on the money off the card or keep in savings.

    I got my letter through from the Orthodontist yesterday about setting up payment for my treatment so i really need to get my !!!! in gear as had my fillings all done now and need to find a £400 payment for that then its £100 per month for 22 mths! Or i pay it all upfront and get a 5% discount but thats more debt which is obv very very bad so don't want to do that.

    My 0% on the card is up though next month so pondering whether to get a 0% card again but think will be too much temptation.... :o

    Right back to the drinkies and the new slice the pie room :)

  • Hiya,

    Just popped in to say Hi as I had been lurking since you first posted in my thread.

    Very jealous of your Barcardi Breezers - I could do with cracking a bottle of Cava open which we have left open from DD's b day in Feb but OH isnt drinking as he has an important medical on Sat and don't fancy it on my own...

    Best of luck with the dentist ;)

    Thanks very much snaffle, i should probably stop drinking soon or else dinner won't get cooked and it will be takeaway, not good for my diet or very MSE :rotfl:

    Evening,

    Well the booze carried on last night and i ended up eating a chicken burger and onion rings, i think my diet is going to have a blip for first time in 3 months, think i am gonna get my first gain :o

    Its Friday so having another few tonight but tomorrow i am gonna get back on the bandwagon, only 7 weeks to lose another 11lb before holiday! And only 5 weeks until my friends wedding!

    Anyway back to money, withdrew another £5 into paypal last night from slicethepie and my topcashback e-cheque finally cleared so only need another £15 to withdraw £50, think i am gonna pay it off my credit card when i get it.

    Did my first pinecone survey yesterday and got £4 for it, need to get them to confirm paypal is set up for me so think that will get paid in a voucher.

    3p off the archerfish £3 payout mark, trying to do some slicethepie tonight too but getting tired and a little bored!

    Oh forgot i got the £20 high street vouchers today too so can spend them this weekend, was going to use them in iceland but loadsa shops on there! So tempting! lol

    I worked at the charity shop today and got tempted by a skirt and top which will be ideal for my holiday and some cat figurines and spent £4.25, had to get £10 out the bank to buy them so now only have £12 left in bank until pay day (13 days away!) but this time last month i had 2p in bank so bit better :rotfl:

    Then nipped into town and got OH another birthday pressie with £10 woolies voucher and spent £11.50 in iceland using one of my £10 vouchers so only spent £1.50.

    Got £40 on clubcard plus for food so will be ok until payday.

    Am nearly at another £5 on slice the pie, going to try and make it to £10 by end of tomorrow so can get to £50 in paypal next week and withdraw it and put it on credit card.

    Need to put some stuff on ebay, just can't be bothered though :p

    OMG well done on the slicethepie! You must be on it all day to be getting £5 so quickly! How many stars you on now? I must do some this evening.

    Spending £4.25 in the charity shop aint so bad espically when you got so much for it and goes to charity.

    Where are you going on your holiday?
