Cinnys Spending Diary - Take 2

Cinny91

Forgot to say, another Baileys Coffee freebie came in the post today in OHs name. My Nan really wants to try it so I'll have to remember to take it to work in the morning.

All excited though as tomorrow is payday and I can start week 2 of my challenge. :j
Last week went really well, and I still have £20 of this weeks budget so I'm going to sort all the money out ready for the morning now. Have a bit of a shopping list for tomorrow though, so I need to nip to the supermarket after work and stock up on cat food for Pippin Managed to convince my Mum it's a super idea to pick me up from work - The force of wind overhere is seriously scary and I get batted all over the place, eek!

Sounds like your budgetting is going well Cinny and money left over aswell!

How annoying about the wrapping paper Cinny! You'd think that it being from Laura Ashley it would be good quality. I put some gifts in a gift bag (unwrapped) as if it was a mini hamper. But I love wrapping presents

I am so busy at the moment, it sucks. Gonna go update my diary! :rolleyes:

Hope all you lot are ok! Good luck on week 2 of the challenge Cinny

Week two already, it'll be over before you know it. Hehe, my granny's partial to a Bailey's too. She was sat up in bed last night with a little glass of it resting on her bosom, but fell asleep and said her nightie was stiff as a board this morning! And if that's not bad enough she added: 'But guinness is much worse'! Seems granny often falls asleep with a tipple in her hand!

Morning!!

So, it's the start of Week 2 (that went fast!) Moved £115.68 into savings this morning and have £50 in my purse + £4.50 in my little wallet at home! Also have £40 sitting pretty in my 'extra money' bag - So feeling all at one with money atm.

Going to Asda after work today, but I've written a list and I'm sticking to it! It's only 3 things I really need so I need to focus.

Haha, bless her! My Gran was all excited last week because she bought a bottle of Baileys to put in her night coffee.

yay for payday Cinny! A week till mine and need it now.

My sister has been to New York this week with work and got me some Abercrombie Jogging bottoms, they were cheaper than over here though but got to give her the money.

A week til mine too, have about £75 to last me, but am watching a pair of boots and a pair of jeans on ebay...

I'm dying to go to New York and do some shopping! A friend of OH's is in Florida at the minute, she's getting him some North Face gloves for walking - they're about £38 here and $8 there!

I know there are a lot of bargainous things over there. I suggested some Benefit make up things for my sister to get me for xmas (obviously don't know if she got them) but they are half the price over there.

It's silly how much more things cost here! Me and my Sister always planned we'd go to New York together when I turn 21. I hope she remembers this as I'm counting down 2 years and 4 months in my head! Speaking of which, that's another thing to save for!!

OH is counting down to his payday too. Takes so long to come around some months!

Is OHs payday today so at least I know I won't starve!

Cinny - I went to New York for my 21st , was just before I was 21 though so couldn't drink hehe.
