Cinnys Spending Diary - Take 2

I know it is slightly scary!

I got my £5 Amazon this morning, have got £40 pounds in the account now as spent 30 on presents. Need to find out what people want so am texting round OHs family today.

Cinny redeems usually don't work on Thursdays so I wouldn't worry.

Morning everyone!

I am absolutly shattered this morning. OH didnt get home from work until 3am and since his attack i cant sleep until i know hes home safe and sound - i sound so soppy!! I then had to get him up at 8.30 to go back to work. Have hardly seen him at all this week, we're like two ships passing. Hes working a 62 hour week this week and when hes not at work then im at work! :rolleyes:

Are you paying interest on the credit card Flower? If you are then I would pay it off.

Yes, i think its about 16% interest, so it would make sense to use the savings. Hopfully i'll see OH for longer than 5 minutes soon and we can talk about it

Aw, that isn't soppy! I'd be just the same. I hate that 'passing ships' feeling too, Just try and think of all the extra money your OH will be bringing home and being able to crunch the debt down a bit more - and being one step closer to moving out! Tends to help me when OH is working loads.

Getting excited now incase I have some more freebies through the post today - My Mum was laughing at me this morning saying it must be like Christmas everyday for me :rolleyes: So I said 'Yeah, and the days I don't get anything it's like all those years I never got that pony you promised'
Talking of Christmas, it's only 50 sleeps away!! :j

:eek::eek:Already?!! OH and i are going to do some christmas shopping this weekend, i have managed to persuade him! The next few weeks he should get quite a decent paycheque as he has worked quite long weeks so some will be used for christmas presents and the rest to the credit cards.

Your right Cinny the only thing keeping me going at the minute is thinking of us moving out into our own place.

Is anyone doing anything for bonfire night? OH doesnt finish work until 9pm so most of the organised things will be nearly finished. But his mum says if you sit in the garden you can see the display they do at the castle from there.

50 days woo!

Do whatever you are happy doing Flower - it just does make sense to pay the CC off. I have savings and debts (naughty naughty) but my debt has no interest so don't think it matters as much.

Just updated my sig and hopefully tomorrow once OH gets paid we should be under £3000 altogether, and then if i manage to speak to OH at some point it should be alot lower!

Zig - You little devil!! I'm looking at S&G now :rotfl: £25.50 for stuff I've been wanting for ages + 3 of the free bags. Must behave! I have plenty of stuff, I don't need anything *wanders off mumbling*

Sorry girls! But what are you gonna get?! I need recommendations!

And yes Tete it's freezing lately! I just wanna stay in bed all day..

Woohoo Christmas is soon! :santa2: But I'm not doing anything for Bonfire night cuz I'm not really bothered! Think me and OH are gonna watch True Blood all night :cool:

Morning!

It's paaaydaaaay. I've moved a pretty chunk into savings bringing me past my £500 float goal and I can start working on saving my board up for the first 1/4 of next year now. Be nice if I could magic money out of air, but I cant so I need to be saving £65 a week starting next Friday.

Got £60 out of the bank for this week, and almost half of it is already accounted for! Going out this afternoon with my Mum shopping so I'm going to pick up presents for OH to give my Parents, and brother and sisters OHs. OH needs some new work trousers too so I'm on the scout for those - I'm starting to sound like a wife :rolleyes:

Redeemed my £5 amazon voucher this morning, so that'll be a nice boost to my little fund come next week! Is anyone else finding it super hard to find new threads to post in atm? I don't like posting on the ones that have been dragged up from ages ago, but I want my points!

My phone comes off contract tomorrow (yay! :T) So I've been looking around again for recyling prices best I've found is £23 + £3.60 cash back so that'll be a nice boost to my savings when I do it! I'm going to sound like a right Grumpy Old Woman saying this but I'm looking forward to getting back to PAYG on a phone that just does what a phone is meant to do - call and text! I did love my Blackberry but it didn't half confuse me sometimes :rolleyes: Plus I can get advantage card points when I top up

EEk - This is turning into a right monster post so I'll hurry up!

Zig - OH asked me to write a list of S&G things I want this morning so I have to be good and not buy anything incase he does! Ooo, I have got the S&G perfume though! OH has bought me it for Christmas but showed me it yesterday to make sure it's the right one :D All excited now!

ETA: Woops! Forgot to say, got some freebies again yesterday! My thing to review came from Beautyjudge - it's freakin massive and will last me ages so I'm happy with that! And a sample of Boss Orange which is lovely. Don't think I'll have anything turn up today though.
