Cinnys Spending Diary - Take 2

Cinny91

Hi Dinah Hi CMD! :hello:
I thought I mentioned it, but going by the reaction on your thread I don't think I did!
I restarted it after I bought some er.. necessities on my CC (You know, the day I spent £500+ and you told me off?) I have to say, I'm much better with my budgets then I was in my last Diary!

Haha, same here! Family are asking for a Christmas list though so I may put some Boots stuff on there. Cinny you like Soap & Glory don't you? Is it worth the money?

Forgot to say yesterday too (My memory isn't all that good!) me and OH are having a challenge this week to see who can make the most extra money. He's already £10 up from William Hill's Alice in Wonderland slots so I seriously need to up my game! I'm only at £1.08 atm Oh dear!

I think its seriously cheating to count gambling money! He should have to deduct any gambling outlays off of this is hes allowed to count the winnings!

It completely is! You'll have to go to Boots and give some of the products a wiff though because I know some people don't like the smell but they're all fab products.

The Boots event (you need to check the date for your local one) is just a night where they give you £12 worth of points when you spend over £50. There's a thread about it on the Grabbit board.

Tete - My Christmas List is just Boots Gift sets When I first saw the 342 Christmas stuff was out I seriously didn't know what to do with myself. I just remember OH saying 'I'll be in the car..' and spending a bit to long oo-ing and ahh-ing over it all.

I bought my sister the 'Plane Jane' Soap & Glory set and I'm quite jealous cuz it looks really good!

I bet the stores will be packed on those nights then!

Me and OH had an argument the other night cuz I said I knew exactly what I needed in Boots (while he waited in the car) but then I got distracted by all the other Christmas gifts..

Cinny I just read your review of the Cineworld Unlimited card, and I'm tempted to get it! Would make cheap nights out - as long as you don't buy snacks! I try and sneak them in

Me and OH went to see a preview of Couple's Retreat last night (can't believe I finally managed to get free tickets off here!) and it cost £7 for a drink and popcorn! Madness. :eek:

I fancy that film Zig did you enjoy it? I was a bit peed off that sewing class in on a Wednesday so We can't do Orange Wednesdays anymore.

I love S&G too I have to say, esp the big pink pots of body butter!

I wouldn't worry about sneaking them in. When me and OH went to see 'Away we Go' A man walked in with a big carrier bag and pulled a Sandwich, Drink and sweets out of it! If you think you'll use it I say go for it, me and OH have had it for months and haven't run out of films just yet!

Just got my wage slip for this week, it's a little over £140 so can get with the budgets tonight.

Right, got to go lock the yard up. Haven't a clue where my brother is though. He's normally back at 4, Hope he hasn't forgotten I need a lift home!
