Saving for a new SMILE diary

xHayles84x

I've not managed any NSD's this week, but i have managed a couple of low spend days, if that counts? lol.

Not much planned for the weekend which involves spending money, actually i tell a lie, my sister, mum and I are going to an outlet mall on Sunday, i'm driving so will cost a bit in petrol but not too much hopefully. Saturday my OH and I are off to a wedding reception in the evening, so apart from my sister curling my hair during the day i have nothing planned, apart from getting ready.

OH is working till silly o'clock tonight so will mean an evening cleaning, then chillaxing in front of the tv watching some classic girly flicks and drinking a glass or two of rose, perfecto!

What a lovely weekend :j

Saturday i had a NSD - i know how on earth did i manage that one? but then Sunday i spent far too much :mad: £98 but that included £30 worth of petrol which will hopefully last me until the end of October.

I spent £55 whilst shopping at the outlet mall with mum and sister, treated myself to a lovely Ted Baker purse, £35 but got 10% knocked off as i notice a little mark on it - very MSE of me i know. The just bought some make up which was a really good price compared to Boots. I also bought some bits from Tescos when i got back so that was another £10 spent - whoops!

Today i really wanted a NSD but i spent about £20 on bits and bobs. £12 in Primark, needed some tights, and i also bought a black cardigan which i needed for work. I also popped into Tescos after work and spent £6.45, 2 magazines, £5 for Essentials and Woman and Home, both look really good as always have lots of good tips in. Also bought some soup for dinner.

Also, just bidded on a GORGEOUS dress from Coast on ebay, its on the Coast website for £135, its currently at £16 so i'm hoping i can get it for under £50.

Just off to update my spending diary!

All the little bits do add up don't they. At least you got stuff at a reduced price, very MSE of you.

I agree that a spending diary will be a good idea for me. Will help me see where I am spending too much money etc hopefully!

The weekend already :j:j:j

Last night i had a great night, went out with work for our monthly social and went to a really nice posh restaurant, it was such a great night. The meal was paid for by the company so didn't cost me a penny. Love eating at posh restaurants. Yesterday we found out our xmas do this year is at the Emirates Stadium (Arsenals stadium), I'm a Man United fan :rotfl: fun fun fun!!!

Today just chilling till about 1, then gotta go get ready for the theatre tonight. I love going to see shows in London. Hopefully won't be an expensive evening. We got a good price for the tickets £18 each, and will prob go for a meal before the show.

Just saw an offer on PriceMinister, so just ordered my little niece 2 brand new books for £1.79 - should of been a lot more but there is a £5 off voucher, plus if you go via Quidco you get £5. Books will go in my nieces Christmas stocking.

Not very happy at the mo with Ebay, i ordered a really nice Coast dress for the wedding in Mexico, its been two weeks and still not here. Contacted the seller as she said she keeps all the recorded delivery slips and still not heard back. I'm really hoping its not been lost as its such a stunning dress. I paid £41 for it, and its still selling for £135 in Coast. Looked at the sellers feedback and all really good, she sells dresses from karen Millen, Coast, and all positive feedback. Hope the dress comes soon.

Hope it comes soon, our post is awful at the moment from all the postal strikes, waiting for a couple of things.

What did you go and see at the theatre?

Hey,

Your always doing something fun Hayley! I can never think of anything for me and my OH to do at the weekends! lol

Yeah, royal mail strikes are a right pain the in the bum. Have you asked the seller for the recorded ref number so you can check yourself where its got to?

Hope you had a good evening.

Hey girlies,

The show last night was FANTASTIC thank you!!! Its wasn't your normal theatre show, it was a street dancing show - http://www.insanetour.co.uk/ OH had heard about the show and knew i'd love it, and god he was so right. I love anything dance, and now really want to get back into streetdancing as i used to do it loads in my teens.

I'm really hoping it is just delayed due to recent postal strikes. I've e-mailed her re the recorded tracking number but not heard back from the seller yet. Hopefully it will arrive next week. I chased up another dress which i won on ebay on the 26th September, it only cost £4 but its been over a week so wanted to check it had been sent, the cheeky seller got back to me yesterday saying "hiya - it was sent today". How cheeky, i won the dress over a week and says ships within 2 days, just rude they didn't even apologise, so annoying!!!

Just got back from Asda - never ever again will i go shopping on a Sunday. OH is at work today so went at 2pm when he went into work, got there and it was packed, kids, trolleys everywhere, my worst nightmare. We have our best friends over for dinner tomorrow eve so needed to get quite a bit of stuff to make my dinner menu. The store has changed lately due to Christmas stuff, so i spent half the time just wondering round trying to find things which have been moved - arrgghhh! never again on a Sunday. Spent £35 which is a bit more than i wanted to really spent - hey ho!

Just chilling watching the footie now - then after that i have lots of cleaning and ironing to do before X Factor tonight.

We went to asda this afternoon too, what a nightmare it was. We only went to get a few bits for OH to make cakes for work.

Glad you enjoyed the show, sounds like it was good. I did some street dance classes while at uni, really enjoyed it.

Been a naughty girl tonight, OH is at work, and i really didn't fancy cooking as we had friends over last night and cooked a 3 course meal, so tonight because i'm feeling a bit poorly I went to KFC for my dinner and spent £6 - whoops! But i've been having really bad headaches everyday for the last week so i'm going to let myself off.

STILL no sign of my Coast dress from Ebay, I have messaged the seller again for the recorded tracking number and still no word back. My OH messaged her again for me and said if you don't get back to me by X date then we will take it to ebay as this lack of communication is appalling. Also not received another cheap dress i ordered from ebay 2.5 weeks ago. I really don't have much luck with Ebay, the sellers these days are well dodgy. If i sell anything i make sure i post it the next day and even message them to let them know its been posted. Why i bother when i don't get the same thing back i don't know, infuriates me it really does!!!!!!!

Off to chill now as my head is thumping and i fancy watching whatever the movie premier is at 8pm!
