Cinnys Spending Diary - Take 2

  • Goodness Cinny - is that so you can spend Jan-March saving extra for the ISA/moving out?

    I loved your dream so much that I had to share it with colleagues, everyone had a good laugh it it, thanks for that! No dreams about politics or money for me, I think I dreamt about sewing again ...

    And Bingoport! OK - what I had been doing last night was: I had about 2500 points and transferred them about 500 at a time, cashing out every time I won something. But all I've ended up with is a pot of about 2100 points and no distinction between which were my original points and which are winnings. I think this is wrong - was I supposed to cash in all 2500 and play it all, cashing out as I won, so then by the end all points in the pot are winnings? And then redeemable? Do they have to have been played in order to be redeemable?

    Sorry I know I'm really slow in the uptake with this one!!

    And can I clarify ... I have jumped on a couple of moneymaking bandwagons this week and not entirely sure what I get from them ... Bingoport it's a £5 Amazon voucher for 8000 points? What about Ciao???

    I think thats a great challenge Cinny, then all your regular rent money could go towards the savings for moving out??? But no changing the challenge missy especially altering it as you get closer to the time, you change what you are aiming for on almost a daily basis! If you achieve the £890 you'll be exstatic, if you don't then you've still got a lot further than you would aiming for an easy target.

    I'll make sure I rate all your dooyoos and ciaos to do my bit :D

    That dream did make me laugh Cinny!

    Tete - as long as you played through all your points all the points you ahve left are your winnings. Just make sure you only play through new points you get from posting etc rather than the ones you have won before. Sound slike you are doing it right to me but I find it easier to cash in all the money I am playing throughin one go.

    I am all excitbale today, is my last day before my week off at work, am going out for lunch with one of the tv channels, woke up this morning to a lovely picture of my managers new baby (well his and his wifes) that was born yesterday and am goign to see sister act tomorrow woo.

    Yep, Bingoport is 8000points for a £5 amazon voucher. Ciao is a cash payout once you reach £5.

    I won't change it Dinah - Promise!! If I manage it I'll be able to put about £100 into my moving out fund each week for the first 1/4th of the year so I'll meet the moving out fund challenge thang.

    Glad you found my dream funny, it worried me at the time! But then I did have the mental image of Nick Griffin shouting at me which more than explains it.

    ETA: Hope you enjoy your week off Wendz!! I really want to see Sister Act too, jea-lous!
  • Mmm, with his funny eye like Tony Gordon.

    This is the thing though Wendz, I don't think I actually DID cash in all my points, and now points and winning are all in one pot. I think I might just have to bite the bullet and cash them all in and sort of start again?

    Still only at £1.58 on Ciao - not doing v well at all. And I left the yoghurt at home that I was going to review! Gah!

    Your plans sound fab Wendz, enjoy yourself!

    I will let you know what it is like, it seems to have good reviews.

    I managed to get 80p yesterday on Ciao, quite pleased with that.

    All loney on my owney again for most of tonight *sniffs* So here's my to do list, which I will do!

    To Do Tonight:

    - 35 STP tracks.
    - Clean room (bedding change over day!)
    - Chase Toluna (again!)
    - Major ratings sesh on Ciao

    To Do @ Work:

    - Move 1 Review over to Ciao
    - Get card details ready for brother!*
    - Try not to eat all the biscuits


    * My brother, being the clever socks that he is, has left his wallet at home so wants to borrow some money off me. I told him he can use my card at get £50 out (my spends money!) take out of that whatever he needs to borrow and pay me back later. Guess it's one less trip to the hole in the wall for me - and I should get the money back tonight.

    Morning everyone.

    You certainly sound busy again today Cinny and i like the idea of yur challenge aswell!

    Its OHs payday today (like it is every friday! lol) and he got about £30 more than i thought he would so thats not bad i guess.

    Tete - you have really confused me with the bingoport. All i do is do my 10 posts a day to get my points, have a couple of games on bingo and some on the slots. Usually end up spending about 150 points a day. Have now redeemed two amazon vouchers off them and nothing has been said so i assume im doing it ok. I think the only reason they would not give you the vouchers is if they can clearly see that you are just getting the points and not playing at all - which is fair enough i guess.
