    Just made another £150 overpayment to BMI.
  • I've just won £20 on bingo and got £30 throught quidco and I think (bearing in mind its late and im tired) read somewhere that mecca bingo is tracking twice through quidco at £30 and £15 (I'm not sure if this is right but it happened with me with Totesport last year and i made £75 just through quidco)

  • I've just won another £125 on bingo. I'm not sure if im going to save that for xmas but I know i'm going to pay at least £25 of my Virgin card cos the interest is high.

    Just received £30 from seeing a reflexology client - so have paid it straight off my egg loan as an overpayment :D

  • Hi
    Only managed to pay the minimum on the credit cards and payment off overdraft this month. Total of £230.00
    Requested more work so hopefully will have more money next month to reduce my balance.

    Hi All, well more bad news. Not only have my work stopped the weekend work we were doing (bye bye extra money, last shift this weekend) they have announced no pay rises for the next year and are shutting down for 2 weeks over christmas and new year this means. If we don't have enough vacation to cover it they just don't pay you for those days.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    unixgirl, sorry to read about the cutbacks - sadly I think we will see a lot more of this over the next few months.

    Gemmz, well done you! Of course it is right to aim for 12k.......keep going girl :T

    taxi - another excellent payment from you - well done.
