lilmissmup's debt free diary!

Still not on target to hit the £900 mark in my savings by 25th March. Only have £787 in there, i do have £27 in pay pal and want to get that to the £50 mark by 25th March so will then have £837.

Got £61.42 lined up to be paid by Quidco end of the month but i need to have £1200 in there by end of April to be on target.

I also now have 2p in my bank account and 10 days until payday

We are pretty stocked up on food and i have £13 left on the Tesco clubcard plus so should be ok, plus my nan normally gives me a bit of Easter money which is good as supposed to be going out on Thursday night with my mate, if not won't be going!

And my debt has increased because i booked our holiday to Bulgaria this week, used our £590 clubcard vouchers but had to pay £487 on the credit card, OH owes me £243.50 out of that but my credit card is now £1161.26 plus outstanding loan payments of £2393.60 = £3554.86 :eek::eek::eek:

I don't feel too guilty as the 9 days there will be great and i will have a lot less debt by then.

Moving on to more positive news my shop and scan clicker is finally working again, had to get a couple of new leads, tried new usb didn't work but a new serial port lead did so can earn points on that again!

I ordered my first voucher you get when joining, got a woollies voucher as want to get my OH the Guinness Book of Gaming records for his birthday next month so will get that for free now as its £9.99 in there.

Ordered 2 £5 Amazon vouchers from toluna on 28th Feb, had one of them the other day but not the other :rolleyes: they are so slow! Want them to go towards his gift too. can nearly claim another, as soon as i can i will as might get it before 16th April then maybe!

Right getting too long! :rotfl:

Had a fairly product evening last night, spent it on msn chatting to mumzy and mollymop, managed to make a fiver on slice the pie and also found out how to forward my other email addresses to my main email so now when OH gets survey invites i will get them straight away, not that i have accounts in his name too .

Got £27 in paypal with £7 pending from lightspeed account he has so will have £34, plus £5 from slice the pie so just need to make another £11 and can then withdraw! :T Going to try and do another £5 on slice the pie today as having a lazy stay at home day as tired!

Hey,

The vouchers from Toluna come from france thats why they take so long! I found that out when waiting for halfords voucher!
How cool you got your holiday for half the price!!:T :T

Im still saving my clubcard vouchers up. Not sure what the do with them yet was going to buy a new engagement ring with them, as the ring OH brought me isnt a diamond....in fact it was £40 form h samuels!!!....He was only 20 and broke at the time! So i said just buy me a cheap one until he can afford a nice one. But i have plenty of clubcard vouchers now, enough to buy a nice ring from Goldsmiths.:D

Well done on slicethepie i cant bear it at the moment!If they would just give me another star i would do more!:rotfl:

Your doing really well on the target for savings! Your very nearly there!

2p in bank account!:eek: :rotfl:

lilmissmup

The annoying thing about Toluna is they are email vouchers from Amazon and still take forever :rolleyes:

Just about to start the onslaught to my ears that is slice the pie :rotfl:

mariagti

Hows thing going? You havent updated rencently?:o

lilmissmup

I keep meaning to update but then forgot as nothing much has changed!

I finally got that other £5 Amazon Voucher but now waiting on another one from toluna lol.

Still 2p in bank account but payday is Tuesday!

Although i have already spent £83 of it as i had to apply for my passport today at the post office as it ran out in 2004, the photo they took was horrid too so now have 10 years of looking like a muppet on my passport, made me take my glasses off and i look horrid without them! Borrowed the money off my dad as wanted to apply for it asap.

So £72 for passport, £4 for photos and £7 for check and send but in 2 weeks i should be allowed to leave the country!

Got £46 in paypal now, going to do some more slicethepie this weekend so i can withdraw the £50 but still off target unless i suddenly find £60 laying around.

I do have £30 left of my easter money so going to try not spend that today when i go out with mates so can put that in savings but think will be hard to resist the shops! :rotfl:

Oh and i have registered a new domain name and website today so i can make a website for referrals and survey sites, get first 3 months free then £5 a month so will have to promote that lots! Did it via topcashback should get £15 from them too

:rotfl: The pic cant be that bad?! Why did they take the picture? When my mum and dad needed new passport, i took the pictures for them on digi camera and printed out on printer. So they were free!

lilmissmup

My post office have a special camera thingy to do it, i didn't want to risk taking my own, would rather pay the £4 for peace of mind especially as holiday already booked and paid for!

Its Sunday night and no work tomorrow wooohooo

Not a very productive today although no money spent, yesterday i spent some money, £10 on a new top and then £14 in wilkinsons on housey bits although i have been dragged in by TV Advertising and brought a Glade Flameless Candle which was £10! :eek:

Looks and smells good though and came with a 50p off coupon for the next refill so eases my guilt a tiny bit.

My wages are sitting in my bank account and show as available but too scared to spend them incase it does take me overdrawn as technically payday is Tuesday, might have too tomorrow though as need to go Tesco, if i pay on card won't until Tuesday but will need to withdraw cash if want to use club card plus, ah the decisions.

I plan to get up tomorrow and dig out all my tesco club card extra points coupons and have a productive day before back to dreaded work Tuesday

Am sitting here thinking whether to do Slice The Pie or carry on listening to Queen and drinking vodka At least with Queen i know it deserves a good rating :rotfl:

lilmissmup

Right i am very naughty i have done no slice the pie all weekend and i now only have £23 in Paypal as have paid my Ebay fees and 3 months for my new website so gotta work it back up to £50 .

I just can't get into it right now.

On the upside Quidco have paid out today so will have another £64 from them on Thursday to go into savings.

I have really got to get my butt into gear this month as aim for end of April is to have £1200 in savings but i will only have £850 by end of this week, no idea where i will find the other £350!

I don't have any social activites planned this month though, just got to get OH a birthday pressie (although got £10 woolies voucher and £10 amazon) and think i am gonna be a hermit for the month and put all the money i can into the savings and just make sure we have enough for food, bills etc.

I have a million books that need reading and films to watch so be a good opportunity to do that!

Plus not going out means the weightloss should be better too, i have 10 weeks to lose another 13lb before my holiday!

Oh and my shop and scan clicker has packed up again, this time the clicker is playing up, telling me its full of barcodes and not uploading :mad: More phone calls to make!

EDIT: Forced myself into doing Slice The Pie and made £2.28 but looks like the room is about to shut as won't let me do anymore so will be a week or so before can do it again.
