Cinnys Spending Diary - Take 2

I remember seeing one of the Backstreet Boys that was about 20,000 words or something ridiculous, so no, I don't think there's a limit!

This morning I have some confessions.
First confession is I spent £80.05 last night.
and the second is that it was on my credit card

BUT the redeeming quality of all this, is that it is all budgeted for. Just budgeted *in the future* It won't effect my savings at all, and will be paid off quickly.

In good money news. I got my BP amazon voucher this morning so my stash in total is at £34.

Updated my sig too to split up my savings - my Vespa is in for it's service next week + I'm getting it fitted with a proper beepy lock (like what you have on cars!) and some heated handles as my hands were FREEZING this morning. So that'll take the pot down to about £250ish - didn't want it to effect my board savings!

Work it's stupidly busy so I best dash, just needed to confess!!

What did you buy?!

Another £5 BP here, hoping NIMs will come through shortly too

Exactly, what did you buy?! Vespy with remote locking - way posher than my Bluey!!

*Off to check emails for errant BP voucher from last week...*

ETA - nothing as yet, but points haven't returned to my account either so I'm hopeful!

NIM hasn't got his yet either so I guess its just a slow process getting all the emails out. Plus my username is D and Cinny's is C, you and NIM are S and T!

Erm, a mix of everything. And, admittedly, a mix of stuff I do and dont need.

Needed:

2x Jeans @ £25
2x Work Tops @ £7
Gloves @ £6
Headband @ £2.50 (the one I normally use when washing my face snapped + my hair is too short to tie back)
3x Makeup Brushes @ £11.75
Blusher @ £6.85 (I broke my old one:o)

Didn't need (but really wanted)

Barry M Dazzledust @ £4.50
Necklace @ £5.00
Makeup Bag @ £3.50 (will be seriously useful, but I could have gone without)

Then £7.95 of P&P charges. *ahem* Are you going to stone me?!

But like I said, it's all budgeted for. My CC is 0% so I don't see the harm (not very MSE but it's true!)

ETA: By this I mean, no harm in getting it in one go. If I went out and bought a few things off my list every payday like I planned, I'd end up buying so much more extra tat because I see it. Where as this way I can just put the money I budgeted to spend on my CC and be able to miss the shops completely - hope that makes more sense!

Did you need TWO pairs of jeans? Just joking - that's better money spent than my £16 ones from Ebay that arrived yesterday and don't fit - I'm definitely a Size 13 at the minute - all my old jeans and trousers are so baggy round the bot, and although I could fasten these 12s, I couldn't bend in them! I assume Work Tops are tops for work and not kitchen counters?

Dinah93

Because I'm super-mean, shouldn't all that stuff have come out of your spends money?

I will be waiting a while for mine then!

On return rating on Dooyoo I return rate everyone who rates my reviews.

Cinny - at least you have bought all your xmas pressies so don't have to worry about that. As long as itis budgeted then don't worry just don't get into the habit.

Yes They're the Dorothy Perkins £15 ones, I got a pair 2 years ago, wear them all the time and they still look brand new so they're more than worth their price tag.

Believe me, I don't intend too! Like I've said, it'll be paid off in a few weeks. I'm only keeping it until the end of the 0% period then cancelling my account + cutting the card up.
