I fancy that film Zig did you enjoy it?

Yeah I really liked it! But I like most films like that - with Vince Vaughn in etc. Oh said he was glad he didn't pay for it, but he doesn't really like romcoms! And I saw him laughing so he must have enjoyed it a bit. Vince Vaughn's kid in it is so cute! Everytime he was on the screen I was like aww! I want one

Morning!

Well my sister gave me the £20 afterall, so I'll be able to pay about £70 off my credit card as planned :T Should be cleared in a fortnight at this rate. Seriously cannot wait to get started on my moving out fund. Haven't actually told anyone but you girls (and guys!) about it yet, not even OH. Infact I haven't really spoken money much outside of this forum in ages. Just remembering all the rows that came about over saving last time it isn't worth it. :rolleyes: Atleast I have support from my Grandad over saving, which is nice!

Zig - Me and OH are going to see that tomorrow. I'm all excited! Been seeing mostly boy films recently (Gamer, District 9 ect) so it's nice to have a RomCom to look forward to. Hoping to see Zombieland too

So, Budget for next week:

Bought Over: 60
Wages: 140
Total: 200
Board: 30 -
CC: 70 -
Left to take over: 100

Plus £26.20 in my purse, which should be more than enough for this weekend. Hopefully :rolleyes:

You're doing so well paying off your credit card! :T

I don't talk money outside of this forum either, mostly because my OH and family are sick of hearing all my plans! :rolleyes: I hate that my OH is so secretive with his money though.

I suggested the Cineworld thing to OH but he doesn't want to do it He says that we can just use Orange Wednesday, but True Blood is on a Wednesday now so I don't wanna miss it! *loser* He says we won't watch enough films to make it worthwhile. And he says it's another payment a month, which is true.

I'm not a fan of boy films - I fell asleep during A Scanner Darkly in the cinema!

I've seen a lot of boy films with the Cineworld card, I've enjoyed them though so I can't complain! Out of all of them my favourite has been Year One. Went to see that twice! Shame your OH won't agree on the card, I had to lay out the maths to OH as he wasn't too keen at first. I've created a monster though because he saves all the ticket stubs and works out how much each movie cost at the end of the month :rolleyes:

I think everyone is sick of hearing my plans too Zig! So I've decided to keep it to myself. I think it's best keeping my house savings a bit hush hush from OH for the moment anyways, I know he'll feel useless that I'm saving and he's still paying off debts.
Still, going to try and think up some semi-realistic saving goals so I can update my Sig and make it look all snazzy once my CC is cleared.

I suppose it is pretty sweet! Would be more sweet if he did hoard them all in my bag though. Found one the other day dated the start of June :rolleyes:

Just redeemed my DooYoo miles for a voucher :T Picked the book for my Dad, and one for my Mum and they come to £23.50 so that's two more presents sorted for (kind of) free when the voucher comes through. Been seriously useless with my DooYoo reviews this week. Managed 3? or 4? Only managed 5 tracks on STP last night too. Will try harder tonight! Going to lock myself up in my room so I don't have any distractions. Just me, a cat and my laptop!

Augh, yoo're all dooing so many dooyoos! I feel yoosless! Haven't done one for ages, I normally do them at work but am too busy these days :rolleyes: Do you think I'll make my £120 target by the end of the year?

Actually, I think so! If you do one review everyday anyways. I mean Dinah manages 6 a day, doesn't she? It just a matter of finding the time to do it really, mine can take up to an hour now I'm doing them properly

I generally do 1 in 5 properly, the rest are 2-300 word rambles. I still get the same number of rates and whathaveyou so why waste time writting essays?!

Have done 2 so far today, then found one of the products wasn't in the catologue, so have still got 5 to do.

Cinny91

That's just what I think when I start, then I get really into the product! Might try and get another review done today. Need to start building my points up again, already thinking 'presents for next year'

Was messing around with figures while I was eating my dinner. What do you girls think to a House Fund target of 1.5k by the end of the tax year? And a £500 reg. savings target for the end of the year?
