Cinnys Spending Diary - Take 2

Cinny91

Moved another £40 over to savings :j
My Dad had a date with the Scrap Man today and a couple weeks ago promised he'd give me 20% of whatever money he gets from that over getting a payrise. I'm liking this! Still pestering for a payrise mind

Savings are at £416 now - massive leap since yesterday! Means I only really need to save £59 a week now to meet my target, still going to aim for £69 though as it gives me a big of a money-making goal. It'd be too much like plain sailing if I just had to say £59 as it's no real effort!

well done on the savings cinny! Are your regular savings for paying your Mum and Dad in advance or just for you?

Cinny91

Thanks Dallas! £390 is to pre-pay my parents board for the first 1/4th of next year. And the £500 is just like backup, for when I need to Insure my Vespa or incase it needs any repairs. Savings for paying my parents are going well though. If I keep up the £69 a week target I'll be able to pay them for 15 weeks at the start of the year, which will pay my board until a couple weeks into April? Which would be nice!


Oh my giddy Aunt, just got an exceptional on Ciao for the Review I did this morning. That's a first!!

I know I made myself not buy any wrapping paper as I have to wrap most of them when I go home to Ireland for Xmas. They just get torn otherwise. I love wrapping presents though, so exciting!

Will be able to wrap one present for my Godson for when I go to Oz though as that needs to go in my case for going next weekend!

The car passed its MOT!!! :j:j Got it MOT-ed and taxed for £120 so pleased, was expecting it to be alot more.
Paid another £91 to Natwest CC aswell.

Sorry Cinny im taking your thread over to update on my money news!

Your doing really well with your savings they seem to be leaping up and up!

Well done on your exceptional rate on ciao

No need to be sorry Flower, your good money news kind of covers up the my useless moneymaking days That's great about your car passing it's MOT though :T

Not been too good this afternoon, got home and had a quick lunch followed by a trip into town. Ended up spending £16 altogether, all on essentials (bar £6 in Asda on chocolate and fruit cider ) Fully stocked up on make-up remover, cotton pads ect which should last me a few months at least.

Just got an email from DooYoo about a product request I made ages ago, so going to quickly write a review up for that. Then going to try 20 STP tracks before tea, then I can spend tonight rating on DooYoo + Ciao while I wait for OH to get to mine.

Hope everyone has had a nice afternoon x
