    Yep just wish i could pay it off now! :p

    Got my BT bill today and was only £7.90 so got an extra £32.10 to spend....which i have spent £20 off tonight on Think Bingo through Quidco, will get it back, playing now hoping i win..... its tracked already but its my friday night in fun lol. Sitting here with the OJ and vodka chilling. Though do feel a bit guilty as won't get it back for 2 months! :rolleyes:

    Thinking of putting the other £10 on quidco too on the new betting offer Extrabet.com, deposit £10 get £25 back.

    Managed to not spend any cash for 3 days now though so got £9 of my budget spare.

    Posting Wii tomorrow and i claimed my Valued Opinions voucher today, got £10 amazon one as Dad wants a DVD for his birthday so that will help for that.

    Having a dilemma about my hair lol, its money related, can't decide whether to just get it cut or have it cut and dyed by the hairdresser next week, it would be my birthday treat but still feel guilty as need the money for braces. I always dye it myself but want some extra stuff done that i wouldn't be able too. Decisions again!

    No bingo wins :(

    Joined extra bet so should make £15 there.

    Claimed £26 from cashbackrewards today but won't get that until next month. I really need to start doing daily clicks as although don't make loads it all helps.

    Gonna try and start slice the pie again this week too, if i can bear it :p

    Extra bet has tracked on quidco so thats a nice extra £15 coming my way in a couple of months, sometimes i think quidco is a bit like a savings account lol, put money in and earn some interest but you don't get it back for a while :rotfl:

    Need to post the Wii off today and helping out at a fete later for the CPL, hoping to not spend any money other than that.

    Posted the Wii earlier, had to get some extra brown paper so spent 99p on that and £10.99 on sending via parcelforce.

    I live opposite a post office which is so handy for selling ebay stuff and i use it because of my job too so the nice lady in there helped me send it cheaply! Feel a little guilty as won't get there until Wednesday now but its covered for the insurance and special delivery was gonna cost a bomb.

    I charged £15 so £3 profit on that.

    Done the charity stall today for CPL, it was at my old upper school, haven't been there in 8 years so was a bit odd going back, i spent £1.20 on a bottle of coke and 20p on a book for my niece about a bear called Ruby and thats her name so had to get it :D

    Think me and OH are off to McDonalds soon and i am paying (he brought me a dominoes last night) so will be a bit more spent today, if only i could give up junk food i would be much richer! I weighed myself today though and i am the lightest i have been in ages and not even been on my diet for 2 months! Might be because of my teeth lol as not been able to eat much recently!

    I think i am gonna go back on a diet after next weekend and try and lose 8lbs to get me down to 8 stone

    Been pretty lazy today, did a survey for 350 ipoints earlier but done nothing else money making or saving so gonna write a list of things to acheive this week.

    * Ring MBNA and close account, not looking forward to this as can't be bothered with them trying to persuade me not too! :o
    * Cancel PC insurance that has been going off the credit card each month and is a waste of money :o
    * Get myself up to £5 on slice the pie, got nearly £2 in there already.
    * Find some stuff to put on eBay on Tuesday. Hoping my other John Lewis voucher shows up.

    Also need to try and book my hair appt tomorrow or else i won't get one and need to tidy the house lots as brother coming to stay Saturday night as thats when we are going out for my birthday (which is in 3 days time :D).
