Cinnys Spending Diary - Take 2

Flower08

Morning!

Cinny - yes i am finding it hard to find threads on bingoport to post on, there are some on the front page that have been dragged up from months ago which is slightly annoying.

OH was supposed to be home at 9 lastnight, but didnt come home til 10:30pm, had to attend some emergency management meeting or something. So barely saw him again at all as he pretty much went straight to bed. Hes absoutly shattered bless him, hes at work again today - left at 7 this morning. Hes worked over 60 hours since Monday, luckily hes got this weekend off so looking forward to spending some time with him.

Not going to pay any money off the cc's until we have been christmas shopping this weekend and will see how much we spend.

Another Dooyoo £20 amazon voucher arrived, thats me up to £60/£350 now.... happy with that start! Have ordered another one as well.... But both accounts are totally drained now, need to get a start on it again today. Might take my laptop with me this evening when I go babysitting and a bag of books to review after the kids go to sleep! Actually, that sounds like a plan...

Wow your doing well on the voucher challenge! How long did it take for dooyoo to send you the e-voucher thing? Need to make sure i redeem mine with plenty of time for buying OHs christmas present.

Woop! :T
The bag of books to review while babysitting seems like a good idea! Are you looking forward to it then?

Not sure how long they take Flower - For some reason I think they send them out on Thursday like all the other sites? Crikey! My OH is shattered after a 50hr week so I can't imagine how your OH must be feeling! - do you have any plans for the weekend with him?

Yea he is shattered and really grumpy - although i cant blame him really, the other day he had 5 hours sleep between a 12 hour shift and a 15 hour shift. Poor thing.

We are going christmas shopping tomorrow - wooo :T and then not sure what we are going to do on Sunday, i think his mum is planning on cooking a roast and wants his brother and sister to be there (with partners unfortunatly!) so will be a pretty chilled out day.

He's already told work not to bother ringing him this weekend and if there are any emergencies to ring the assistant kitchen manager - they are always ringing him on his days off its very annoying!

I am shattered but that is mainly from the cocktail making night last night and way too many drinks...oops!

Reviews while you are babysitting is a good idea. I Hope it goes wellf or you and they are good kids!

50 hour week Flower - eek! It's your OH that's the chef isn't it? I would have quite liked to have trained to be a chef if it weren't for the unsociable hours!

Good idea on the laptop Dinah, and fingers crossed the kids don't play up! I'm just doing a recipe review but not sure on how they view you doing someone elses recipe then commenting on it. I've put a big disclaimer at the top to say it's not mine so hopefully won't get done for plagarism. People do recipes for cheese on toast for goodness sake so I think this is far more 'useful' in that sense. Haven't even checked Ciao for about a week!

Yep hes a chef, but when we moved he got promoted to kitchen manager so hes even busier and working even more unsociable hours than ever. Of course he gets the financial benefits but sometimes its just not enough. He gets called up at 6:30am on his days off because theres some drama going on, comes home at rediculous hours, brings home paperwork that he hasnt had time to do at work.

Just got a text from OH saying he's bought me a couple more things for Christmas, eeee! Only 49 sleeps now!

Doing a mini to do list for this afternoon so it's all in one place:

Get home from shopping before 3
1 DooYoo Review
2 DooYoo Review
10 STP Reviews
10 STP Reviews (=20)
10 STP Reviews (=30)
10 STP Reviews (=40)
Have a bubbley bath to use free Scrub for review*


*Seriously looking forward to this, like you would not imagine! It's 97% natural so I'm expecting big bootiful things from it. And for the purpose of the review it's only really fair I have a long soak as to fully take in the product - right? Yep, I thought so!

Crikey Flower, I feel sorry for you OH! I'm glad I'm one of those people who can kind of block work out as soon as I leave the Office door. If I were you OH I'd turn my phone off this weekend so they can't get me - My OHs work is just as bad calling him up on the days he's off wanting him to come in so now when we're out he turns it off.

My brownie recipe is a tweaked one I from a recipe book (obv I used it a lot before posting, I didn't just find it one day and type it up!) I haven't been told off yet! You should be okay with your recipe.

Oops indeed! Hope you perk up a bit soon. Me and OH had a couple drinks last night with our tea so I'm feeling a tad gruff today. I think I got a bit more tight than I thought as I've been having 'flashbacks' all morning!
