Cinnys Spending Diary - Take 2

Cinny91

He has his moments Flower! Need to get my thinking cap on for him for cheap gifts for him to get my family. Poor lad has more gifts to buy on my side than he does his own Limiting him to £20 to spend on the lot though, so I seriously need some ideas!

- Wrap some presents (yay!)

15 tracks left to go on STP and I'm going to wait on wrapping presents until December when I can legally (or atleast morally) watch Muppets Christmas Carol
No books to put on Amazon either as I can't quite bring myself to part with the ones I have.

I have to get OHs muppets christmas carol dvd out every year on december the 1st. He then proceeds to watch it at least 5 times a week in the run up to christmas :rotfl:

Oh im crap for present ideas, luckily OH and i have done joint presents for our families since we have been living together so thats not a problem for me. Although i still get left to decide what we should get everyone.

Am upto 22,000 miles on dooyoo and i havent actually written anymore reviews just done loadsa rating which has been paying off!

Morning! :hello:

Redeemed a £5 voucher from Bingoport this morning. The voucher stash for 2010 is born!
Only up to £3.18 on Ciao, so I'm going to post a review at some point today and then have a rating sesh on there tonight.
Didn't make great headway on STP either last night, up to £1 but my laptop went a bit clunky after that so I gave in! Hoping to do a lot better tonight.

Used up the last of my HMV & Amazon vouchers last night and ordered some presents for my OH to give my Brother and Sister. Only came to £2.78 cash afterwards (or something like that!) so quite good for presents they're going to love. Plus it'll stop him panic buying things and spending way too much.

To Do List:

40 STP Tracks

Morning! Good deal on the Crimbly pressies, I love getting stuff for 'free' Do you have a target for your 2010 vouchers?

Ugh, remember I said someone had left feedback saying an ebay purchase was 'grubby'? She left positive feedback but said it was grubby in the comment. Right I thought, no feedback return for you. Well she emailed to ask if I'd kindly leave feedback as she had done for me! Although she didn't tick 'negative' it's still a negative comment to have and she never even contact me about it when she received it! Grr, the cheek of some people!

Anyway. Back to work. And maybe a review or two.

Morning everyone!

Im upto £7.36 on ciao this morning so quite pleased with that, and my natwest credit card is under £400 :j get paid on Friday so hopefully will get it under £300 by the end of the week.

How annoying about the ebay tete, i think after this last lot of stuff i have on ebay i wont be using it again - dont like all the postage and packaging rules etc... i dont understand why i should have to give free p&p for some things - they arent free to send!!

Going for another session on the power plates at the gym this afternoon!

Cinny91

You're doing really well on Ciao Flower! And that's fab about your CC :T

Ebay is pretty annoying, when I was selling some phones on there last year they would only let me charge £2.50 for postage - for something that cost £5+ to send! Don't bother with ebay anymore as they don't support the sellers anymore Sounds like a right pain with your buyer though Tete! I wouldn't leave her any feedback personally.

I think my OH is on Bingoport now as I just got an email saying 'Slots ate all my points!' :rolleyes:

Tete_en_l'Air

Haha, once a gambler always a gambler! I did quite well on it last night I think! Should be up to 8000 in no time - if only I wasn't going on a pesky holiday tomorrow!

Brill about the CC Flower and good luck on the Punish Plates!

Cinny91

Aye, but at least it's free this time! He says 'if I win the jackpot I'll get vouchers' if it's keeping him out of trouble on his day off I can't complain. At least he isn't spending money he doesn't have.

Looking forward to my next voucher already! Should be able to redeem next Wednesday if I'm annoyingly frugal.

Moved some change over to savings this morning so I'm at £281 now. Did some more maths on the savings challenge and it's bought it down to £68 a week that I need to save. Only £1, but I suppose that's half an hour less I don't need to spend on STP!

Tete_en_l'Air

I really want to put something into savings this month but might wait til I get back from Bath and can assess the situation. Need my memory stick back from OH so I can see my budgets!!

ETA - re Dinah's Dreaded Chart! I had chip shop fish cake and chips last night :eek: AND baked cakes!

Is this like the warm and fluffy thread and mine has become harsh and mean?! I will try to become fluffier, at the end of the day I'm not a taskmaster, only you are responsible for what you eat or not. That said Tete I think you should have a lot of fish and chip shop chips, no one with a 26" waist needs to loose weight.

Anyone have any ideas how long it takes dooyoo to process requests for products that you have made? Got a review ready to put on there but they still havent approved it!

Depends, books are usually in about 5-7 days, random things, elextricals, destinations and hotels can be up to a month! I write the review in word then copy and paste it later.

I'm thinking of doing a Project 365 type thing on Flickr in 2010 and might keep a sort-of diary in that way, see if anyone reads!

Whats project 365? I'd follow you and Cinny if you did a a blog or anything! Especially if it sent me email updates, I'm rubbish without them!
