Hi hun,
I also had a great shop in boots too today;)
I cant even be bothered to do the trustedplaces reviews...im getting lazy now! 100 words each! I could do with the voucher though, so might be tempted.
With the Ugg boots, ive got the real cheap nasty ones from ebay £10!!!!!!:o Ive never worn them either as when i put them on i think they look like homer simpson feet from the side!:rotfl: And my calves are sooooo big i cant fit me jeans in them!:rotfl:Make £5 a day JAN £121/175 FEB £283/175:jWeekly Grocery budget of £35! Jan £95.05/175 Feb £37.53/1750 -
hahaha @ the homer simpson comment. Maria. In the winter i'm a bit lazy and love snuggly things, so def want to get some UGG boots to chuck on. I have pink style ugg boot slippers, they are cool. I love winter more than i love summer. Weirdo me.
I was in boots for ages, picked up my No7 bits easy, then looked and i had 4 till receipt £5 vouchers for facial care stuff. Had a look and couldn't see anything worth buying as most of the cheap stuff was gone, and i didn't fancy forking out £25 for face cream.

Another day over, and another day closer to the weekend :j i LOVE short weeks. I still believe weekends should be 3 days, and working day should be 4, only fair really :rolleyes: .
Just checked Quidco and £30.50 has been marked as received and scheduled for August payment. I was expecting a bit more as i have a few others marked for August payment but money hasn't been received to Quidco yet so thats looking more a September payment, never mind, means more in September
I get paid tomorrow, so once i know how much i have been paid as i done some overtime last month, i can work out my monthly spreadsheet ready for September.0 -
Just spent £10 joining Vernons via Quidco. Unfortunately i lost the £10 and £5 bonus within 5 minutes, and won ZILCH. Never mind. I'm just praying it tracks now otherwise be £10 down the drain.
I have nearly £150 tracked and on for September payment, i just hope its received it time for a September payment - be great payment towards my debt, or i will treat myself with it LOL!!!

I thought i would get up early today and check my account as its PAYDAY!!!! woohoo!!!! For some reason i got an extra £50 in my wage, i must of done more overtime than i first thought - not complaining lol.
My £20 from Vernons has tracked too - yay!!!!
Unfortunately not much happening on the debt front this month, only able to pay £110 to Littlewoods (minimum is £85) and my parents have given me a month off to treat myself, not sure if i will yet as i want to get this debt cleared ASAP, and i'm only able to make the minimum payment on Barclaycard, but i may use the extra £50 i got and chuck that at my Barclaycard.
Tonight when i get home i will work out my finances for the month!!!!0 -
Its been a very LONG day today, i felt like it was never going to end. I have been so busy, yet its still going slow. However, I did manage another 2hrs overtime today, yippee! That will go nicely with the other overtime i have done for August.
I decided today i would pay my parents the £100, i thought me just spending it on rubbish is silly.The quicker i clear the debt the better. I've still only paid a little bit extra towards the Littlewoods debt as I am still going to treat myself a little this month, so hopefully now having paid my parents some money i can treat myself without feeling guilty.
I'm now just waiting for my Barclaycard statement for August before i can pay any money towards that, i'm still deciding how much to pay this month.
Unfortunately today i didn't manage the NSD i wanted. My spends for today:
£2.50 - bagel for lunch - was yum though
£6.58 - boots
I used my facial skincare vouchers and bought:
2 x facial wipes - FREE using 2 skincare vouchers
1 x Time Delay Facial starter kit - used 1 skincare voucher and paid £4.99 - this kit will go nicely in my pressie box for Christmas maybe - also gave in the mag voucher and got 200 points for this buy
Oh, and some throat sweets for £1.59
I received 1 No7 pinkie and facial skincare voucher so will buy something with them at the weekend
I think that was a bout it today spending wise.0 -
Just been sorting thru my stuff ready for carboot on Sunday. Not looking forward to getting up early as i feel dog rough with my cold, but its extra money so gotta make the effort. I'm hoping to at least make £50 to put towards treating myself :-)
Right, must get into bed i'm up at 6am tomorrow. However, i don't feel very tired so i might just mooch on here and watch a dvd, that will send me to sleep.

I also spent £7 at lunch time going to the pub with lunch with friends :rolleyes:
And i have just remembered i spent £4 in starbucks this morning buying myself a latte and a muffin (great breakfast eh) :eek:
Tomorrow i'm off out with my sister and niece as they are down for a couple of days. I'm going to spoil my lil niece rotten. My sister asked my today if i would be her god mother, but thats not happening until Feb next year when she turns 2.
Right, off to check out my spreadsheet as today spent far too much on junk!!! Naughty me!!!!0 -
Ahhhh Hayley a few treats are good for you, in the grand scheme of things it wasnt that bad. I can guarantee i will be spending more than that tomorrow (:rolleyes:
