Cinnys Spending Diary - Take 2

Flower08

Blimey doesnt sound like you have had a great morning tete! I hope the day improves for you.

Got the day off today, but going to try and do something really productive. So i guess that will involve dooyoo, ciao, BP, need to go to the bank to pay some money in, pay some more money off CCs, hmmm what else can i do moneymaking......

They are tasty though! Haven't had them for aaages! I really am determined to do well on Dinah's diet challenge but Wednesday seems to roll around so quickly!

You know its a week long challenge right, and all the weeks are the same length?! I'm doing badly too, but I think I'm pre-TOTM as I must be about due by now. Plus I ran out of one of my blood pressure tablets which means I'm retaining a lot of water, my ankles are very uncomfy.

Just have 5 minutes before I set off to work - it's been crazy this morning! Didn't have time for a DooYoo review or any STP but I did 2 quick BeautyJudge one and applied for todays free product (set of 3 brushes)

Pretty excited as I'm going Clothes Shopping on Friday :T Only to H&M and Primarni to get some basic vest/tops/tunics. I've fully switched from Dresses to Jeans + Tees for the winter and I'm wearing almost the same things it's sending me batty.

Tete - Doesn't sound like it's your morning! At least the £160 wasn't some kind of fraud? Hopefully you'll get it sorted.

Flower - Sounds like you've got a good day planned, good luck with all the money making!

Just done my BP and won 600 points on the slots

Will be able to redeem tomorrow!

Cinny91

That's fab Flower! I feel like I'm a day behind on mine as I played all 1000 through and got 450 back. Gar! Been seeing a lot of threads saying you need to play all your points to redeem. So I've been scared into it!

I feel blue! Not seeing OH tomorrow now as he's working. So I can spend tomorrow afternoon drawing up budgets and getting a few DooYoo reviews done. Having a think over a weird way of doing things budget wise though. Need to seriously mull it over though.

I have started playing alot more of my points. I saw a thread about someone who had all their points taken off them, so by playing more it is perhaps taking me two or three days longer to redeem, but i still think its worth it.

How many points do you all play then? I normally do 300, I guess I'll find out tomorrow when my voucher does or doesn't come through!

What's this about your budget Cinny?

Cinny91

I play them all through now, just to be on the safe side! Was really frugal last week though so fingers crossed I get my voucher!

It's like a 3 week plan to bring me to the end of the month - use this weeks wages as spending money, next weeks for savings and the week after that for all my bills (and extra money from that going into savings) Would be pretty tight though and with OH really trying to pay off his CC I'm trying to have as much money free as possible, which is why I need to mull over figures and see what would work best! Would be a big challenge if I did, and not something I could change my mind on half way in.

Flower08

You have more patience than me cinny to keep looking at budgets! I know it sounds really bad, but i am so sick and tired of looking at budgets at the minute - we just dont seem to have enough money to pay debts and have some sort of a life! I know its not supposed to be a barrel of laughs when you have debt but i cant remember the last time OH and i had some quality time together.

Dinah93

Flower, to be blunt, you're trying to pull yourselves too many ways. You're trying to pay debts AND save AND have a life. Realistically you can do 2 of the 3 at once, but beyond that its too much. I think you'd actually be a lot less stressed if you paid a chunk off the debts with your savings, and then the end would be in sight.
