Zig's 'Save for a House and Stay out of Debt' Diary!

zigmeister

Ew Louise that must have been disgusting! The least you would expect is a giftcard! I'll go and find your diary in a minute

Exactly Cinny! Tesco are stupid. The woman was like 'we need your receipt to see when you bought it' and I said 'but the use by date is today so I obviously bought it not that long ago' :rolleyes:

Those sneaky jumpers and dvds bumped it up.. OH paid for tea which was nice. Bloody KFC again though. Getting sick of it but we had nothing in for tea cuz the stupid pork!

Ooh i love KFC, havent had it for aaaaages though.

Eesh, I'm terrible, when I saw that list I didn't think "Tch, well of course it came to a lot, she bought FIVE JUMPERS" ... I thought "Ooh, £3 jumpers, I wonder if they have them in my Asda?"

That is horrible about the bone in the burger! Would put me off for a good long while I think! I don't understand the fuss about the receipt, surely the meat was in date and it was off - that's faulty goods in my eyes, you shouldn't need a receipt in any case.

:rotfl: Haha! Exactly! They're nice - they're quite thin and v neck so nice over a vest top. I got them in a dark green, navy blue and orange.

I used to love KFC, until I started having it every week. :rolleyes: That's the trouble with being disorganised and living 2 mins from a KFC.

Boots Christmas Night tomorrow! So excited! Really worried that by the time I get there all the S&G stuff I want will be gone though.

zigmeister

Woohoo got all my S&G stuff! I'm so excited to try it all!

I'm knackered and have a permanent headache so it will be bliss to have a lie in on Saturday, get OH to go and get breakfast, and then try out all my Soap & Glory. :cool:

Cinny, just in case you didn't know, the facial S&G stuff is on 3 for 2 too. There's no signs so I wasn't sure but I tried it and it is. They gave me a S&G bag per 3 for 2 so I now have 3, not sure what to do with them though!

I also bought a couple of items using the £5 off facial skincare vouchers:

Dr Nick Lowe Cleanser [STRIKE]£9.95[/STRIKE] £4.95 (Christmas present)
Time Delay Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream [STRIKE]£6.84[/STRIKE] £1.84
Olay Regenerist Cleanser Wash [STRIKE]£6.99[/STRIKE] £1.99
Time Delay Radiance Booster [STRIKE]£6.84[/STRIKE] £1.84

So they'll go into my present stash for when I need a little present to give to someone

Yay for getting all the stuff you wanted Zig :T Wont the gift bags make cheeky gifts for people you think you should get a gift for but don't really want to spend money on? Sounds like you got good deals with all the £5 off vouchers too!

Hope you feel better soon though, all day headaches are the worst! Sounds like a good idea sending you OH out to get brekkie for the lie in on Saturday.

zigmeister

The gift bags are nice enough to put gifts in, but I've pretty much sorted everyone now! I've put all my new S&G in it so it's all in one place (2 bags!).

I'm gonna write a list of my present stash on my first post so I can see at a glance what I have.

Thanks Cinny I get so many headaches! The sandwich shop down the road is lush - proper thick bread and stuff, yum! Haven't had it for ages so that will be nice, if I can persuade OH to walk down and get it! :rolleyes:

zigmeister

Forgot my purse today which was probably a good thing cuz I've just realised that the school I'm at is on the same road as a kitchen stuff shop, and an organic farm shop!

I'm really sniffly and bunged up today so I hope I'm not coming down with anything.

Tesco is doing 20% of clothing so might pop in and get some socks and stuff. I just tried ringing Tesco customer services about the disgusting meat but all their contact info is for Tesco online. So I might just complain in store.

It's gonna be an early night for me tonight, I feel like the living dead!

To Do List for Weekend

- Create my school file
- Write reflections/lesson notes/lesson plans for last week
- Organise stuff to take into school - puppets etc
- Plan meals (GBK voucher? Other meal deals?)
- [STRIKE]Wash clothes[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Change bedding[/STRIKE]
- Try and tidy room (probably won't happen!)
- [STRIKE]DooYoo reviews[/STRIKE] x 2

That list has to be done Saturday, or late Sunday night, so that should be fun. :rolleyes:

Hope you feel better soon Zig.

Sounds like you got some great bargains.

I've had a nice, if unproductive day today! Woke up at about 11, OH went and got me a bacon and egg sandwich and I sat with a cup of tea and read the paper! Lovely!

If the weather was alright today I wanted to go for a walk, but it was torrential rain instead. It was nice to be sat inside listening to it though!

Haven't got much of my list done. I'm gonna watch x factor and maybe write another review, then go back in my room and watch The Bucket List while I sort out my school stuff.

Ooh I had a bath and used some of my new S&G stuff. I found the bubble bath didn't produce much bubbles! And I wanted to write a review on the face scrub but even though it's on DooYoo you can't write a review for it which is annoying. It's made my face feel quite raw I'm hoping I just scrubbed too hard or something!

ETA - Cinny, I've just read your review on the S&G bubble bath, and I reckon I didn't put enough in cuz I had the half-arsed bubbles that you said about!
