Cinnys Spending Diary - Ups and Downs!

Cinny91

Shuffling back to confess my spends for the day! William Hill took my pennies!

Eurovision Bet - £2
Horsies Bet - £1

Put £5 onto my account though so £5 spend (am letting OH use the last £2 on the account, mainly because he normally wins quite well)

Moved £1.51 into my Laptop Account though. 1p was a tiny bit of interest on my current account.

Proud of myself though, for the first time in YEARS I'm backing a country that isn't Sweden. Yuh-uh! Germany this year

Show off

Got the holiday money repaid already :T
Put £175.00 into the House Account
£80 into the Holiday Pot
£20 into the Laptop Account
and £20 into Gregs Account

Also had 16p interest paid into one of my savers so I moved that into the laptop account. Updated my sig with the new balances.
Hoping to have broken through the £300 mark on payday. Since I started this diary I've managed to get the needed weekly payments from £21 to £15 :beer: Hoping to have it cleared within 10 weeks though. Keep on thinking how prettier that money would look in the Housie Pot or even in the NYC fund, but I really needed a new laptop so I can't help it. I maybe could have bought one that wasn't £500 but still, I did need one

I didn't realise your holiday pot was for NYC, I thought it was for another camping/chalet type holiday. Very exciting!

Noo, the holiday pot is for holidays/days out with OH. Once I've paid the laptop off money in that account will be for when I go to NYC in 2012

Sounds like you are getting yourself sorted moneywise, is almost as confusing as Dinahs hehe.

Hope you are enjoying the weekend.

Thanks Wendz! My goal is to one day confuse Dinah with my moneyness, then I'll feel like a MSE pro! Hope you're having a nice weekend too.

OH has just gone home, so I'm checking in! Money, like most weekends, has been all over the place I took £30 out in cash at the start of the weekend and have £15.10 left for the week. The £14.90 spent was split between tea last night, and a trip to the icecream shop! (Pistachio and Almonds for me and Chocolate, Chili and Lime for OH. Yum!!)

Also took £10 from the holiday money refund and let OH use it on the Horses in a mini celebration of his offered promotion. Bad I know, but he worked it up to £40, which I said we'd split. So that's £20 towards my laptop and £20 off his debts.

Hope everyone's having a nice Easter Sunday!

:rotfl::rotfl:Anyone who confuses Dinah is a true MSE-r!

Glad to hear you had a nice weekend and made some money at the same time!

I went to the pub OH is kitchen manager at to have some dinner - and got it really cheap obviously

I'll admit it's not bad. But if I'm totally honest I'd prefer cheap food to bookie knowledge

Just made another £5 though. OH must have put a bet on the account we forgot about which won £2. Couldn't be bothered to withdraw just that so split it over 2 horses and one won :cool2: Left it in the account for now, I get into the GN hype and it saves me taking it from my wages next week.

Trying to think of something to do tomorrow and I'm seriously worried I'm only 3 days into my 10 day break and can't think of anything to do. I'll try and figure something out tonight, like a book I want to read/re read or some recipes I want to try out.
