    I have put £80 into my holiday savings account, and also recorded some spends on the coversheets I've made up in my financial folders.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Evening all, well my friend cancelled the cinema tonight, am secretly pleased as it saves me money i could do without spending and am also shattered, so could do with an early night. Therefore not many dfw today. Hi to the new poster and to everyone else.

    My dfw things for today are:
    -Got boyfriend to give me a lift saving me forking out on a taxi fare
    -Got a free lift into work my work colleague
    -Went to new job to check it out for starting on Monday
    -Will check online banking in a moment
    -Kept heating off for as long as possible
    -Cooked tea from storecupboard and will use left overs for my lunch at work tomorrow.
    -Check emails
    -Do any surveys
    -Sort out stuff for massage course tomorrow
    -Do some studying for O.U.

    Think thats it for me as i'd like to go laze infront of the tv! Have a good evening everyone.

    Hello!
    I have been doing lots of calculating of stuff today.
    • checked online banking - cheque cleared and got paid today! :cool:
    • discovered income tax change means I got £13 back from the taxman
    • checked loan balance and asked about overpayment. I can't but it was worth checking. See new thread about c/c vs loan - tomorrow's job is to discover good interest rate saving account etc, hopefully via quidco!
    • checked quidco, did kelkoo click
    • did piggyclick (even though only one available!)
    • checked mystery shops, none unfortunately
    Not much, but still something. I would go put some more money aside, but my car needs an MOT, so I think I had better wait til after that...
    Debt - Loan: £1150 C/C: £4763 @ 0%.

    Dinx, hope your mouth ulcers get better soon, they sound really painful. I used to suffer with ulcers a lot but luckily haven't had one for years now.

    Evening all,

    I can't believe the time! Apart from my run in this evening after work with a cheeky ar*ehole taxi driver (pardon my french) :mad: who accused my of jumping the queue for petrol and giving me cheek when my psychic abilities didn't tell me that when he parks behind another car to my left I've jumped the queue when the car in front of me moves forward and I move into that space.

    Anyway got my overpriced petrol incase the petrol strike lasts for longer than the 2 days. At least it was £1.05/ltr and not £1.17/ltr BP garage had put their up to.:eek: I still didn't get a full tank though as a full tank = extra weight
    • charged mobile at work
    • submitted request to put aside £20 to buy shares at work over a 3 year period
    • got a £1 money off coupon off my mum
    • packaged 2 Ebay items
    • received a cheque in the post for payment I had been chasing for 5 weeks (already reported payment unpaid on Monday but I did warn them last Wednesday if payment was not received by last Friday :rolleyes: )
    That's all I can think of.
    Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)
    Boots points: £0.28
    Pigsback points: 715 (4 xBoots£10 & 1 xPizzaHut£10, 2 x £10 clothing vouchers)
    Mutual points: 3417 (redeemed 8250)
    Rpoints:redeemed 28925 points)Cashbag:£8.91(£20)
