Cinnys Spending Diary - Take 2

Cinny91

That's great Zig Bargains like that feel abit fab don't they?!

Just got a text from OH to say he's in the cinema to see 'This is It', all excited bless him! Have to admit a tiny part of me is quite glad I don't have to go see it

Not long until hometime now. One part excited for Boots shopping but the part is sad because I'm going back to being a part timer! Ho-hum.

I do feel really chuffed that I've managed to sort out another 2 presents for £6.50!

I wouldn't wanna see 'This Is It' either! Luckily, neither does OH.

Is there no way you can do more full-time shifts? But Boots event tonight, woo! Do you know exactly what you need so you can just get it and go, or you gonna browse?

Ooh whats this gillete thing that your talking about? I want a bargain!

zigmeister

I can't find it online Flower but instore they had a silver washbag type thing (think it was called Gillette Championship) and it was priced at £12.99 but scans at £3.25

If it was just me I'd be in and out, but my Mum is a massive browser so I think I'll just go at her pace and pick up the stuff I want as we go past it.

The only way I get to do full time shifts is when the other office girl is off, or on holiday like the past 2 weeks!

£6.50 for two gifts really is good! I'm quite chuffed with my sisters OHs presents as they've cost me a grand total of.. £0! Using vouchers or, like tonight!, in a free offer. When my Sister asked me how much I'd spent on him I was like '...err... well.. you know.. haven't bought all his stuff yet..'

ETA: It's not this is it Zig? Different to the set they had on offer in my Boots!

Ooh i might have to go and have a look!

I guess browsing is alright if it's not packed in there!

Ah that sucks. Hopefully she's on holiday or ill a lot then! :A

Ha! That's very MSE, your sister should be proud!

Yep that's the set! Sorry Flower, I obviously didn't look very well!

Cinny91

I cheated and googled it Looks like a great set for the price though! Will see if they have them in at Boots tonight and get a couple to stash away for Birthdays next year.

Just got my wage slip for last weeks £200 and *drum roll* 88p! Quite pleased as I worked my budgets for £185 like I got last week. I'm a very happy bunny!

Flower08

Ooh i love it when you get more money than expected, what are you going to do with the extra money then?

Its my first payday since i started the new job on friday (i get paid monthly) and i found out the other day that i will actually be getting paid more than they told me. A pound extra an hour - not a huge amount but it all adds up!

OH has finally got his tax code sorted out aswell so he now gets about an extra £25 in a his weekly pay aswell so its all adding up!

Spend it
Nah, going to put it into savings. Want to over shoot the £69 a week target as much as I can each week so I don't need to worry about saving on the week I'm on holiday.

My budget was £300 for everyone so I'm seriously chuffed with that :j

My £12 of free points have gone though. Nipped around again after I got them and used them to get OHs younger twin Brother + Sister pressies for their birthday. Was going to use the 'free' gift to get myself something but ended up getting OHs Nan a box of Lindt chocs instead - because I'm nice like that.

Down to £95 in my current account though. Was completely in budget present wise, but ended up meeting OH at the Cinema once I'd finished shopping with my Mum to go and see Saw with his Parents. So unexpected trip to McDonalds for my Tea instead of eating at home like I planned. Also stopped at a greasy spoon for breakfast on the way to work this morning with OH so there's another £6 gone He's been lingering around my office this morning like a bad smell but has just gone so I'm going to get on with BP, check Ciao (not expecting much as I didn't do anything on there yesterday) and check my mail for surveys ect.

Back home at 1pm today. Not a clue what I'm going to do with myself.. DooYoo reviews maybe?!
