Cinnys Spending Diary - Take 2

Dinah93

Okay, the slots on bingoport. Do I just load it up with my 1000 for the day then cash out everytime I win some?

Well done on the bargain shop Cinny!

That is what I do Dinah. I have had no e-mail about my missing voucher yet grrr.

Dinah - That's what I do, even if it's just 2 points! I'd stay clear of Bingo Broadway though as I think everyone uses that room and I never win in it! Cinders slots are fun though.

Primark wasn't too bad today, but I was in there at about 2pm which explains it! The dressing gown was reduced from £7 so hopefully they've reduced it in yours too - It's which with blue outlines of stars on it if it helps any! They had the most amazing thing though - adult sized onesies with feet! :rotfl:

So do people play through the full 1000?

Cinny91

You don't have too - I've got away with just playing 100 a day and redeeming but BP seem to be clamping down on things recently and stopping people just redeeming with post points so it's a case of 'better safe than sorry' I think.

Dinah93

Do they take the points away or just make you play them more?

Flower08

I dont play all my points through, usually aout 500, but Cinny is right they do seem to be clamping down. I guess they would just take your points off you if they didnt like it, not really sure.

I have come to confess all

Ok so weather was awful today so OH and i didnt go on our walk, instead we ended up in The Bullring - not really sure how thay happened eek :eek:

To put it plainly we didnt have a very MSE day, we didnt spend on the credit cards or anything but im still pretty annoyed with mself.

Anyway on the plus side on the way home we got talking about money and the plan of action is as follows:

- when i get paid in two weeks pay off the remaining off natwest cc

- we have about £700 in savings so put that towards hsbc cc, taking it down to about £2000.

- Then concentrate our efforts on clearing another £1000, and then the remaining balance will be OHs dads responsibility as that covers what he spent on the credit card.

Once credit card is down to £1000, we will then start building our savings up again for moving.

Sorry Cinny for taking over your thread again!! Felt i had to confess my sins :rotfl:


I hope everyone else is well and having a nice weekend?

I think thats a fantastic plan Flower, and I'm so glad you and your OH had a nice day together and a chance to talk things through.

Thanks did have a brilliant day, just kind of hit me on the way home though how un-MSE (if thats even a word?) we had been. But glad we have come to an achievable agreement that makes us both happy.
So my job tomorrow is to go through all the figure properly and get the savings money trasnferred over, also need to find the credit card statements to show his dad exactly how much he spent and therefore how much he owes us.
