Cinnys Spending Diary - Ups and Downs!

Cinny91

I'm pretty glad I'm back on top of it all. Was getting sick of looking at my bank account through my hands with squinted eyes.

Emergencies don't waddle Cinny they storm about! Made me laugh though!

Mine waddle. Like little penguins of doom or something!

Skinnies always tend to be tight on the knees until you've worn them in a bit, I think! I get my skinnies for £8 from Primarni though and they're pretty good. I've had a pair that I bought about this time last year and they're still going strong - and I've worn them loads!

I don't get on with skinnies, all the ones I've tried are too low slung for me so I have unattractive love handle spillage which is sooooo unattractive! I wish I could just wear fashionable clothing but it seems that my body must block me all the time so I'm destined to un-coolness!

I agree that whilst most people would have a more dramatic emergency Cinny's would definitely waddle onto the scene saying, 'Hullo! Fancy a cuppa... I've got some bad news, but I brought cake!'

Penguins of doom! No penguin could ever be scary! Although doesn't Edwards Monkton have some sort of Penguin of Death...? Ah yes: http://www.officedog.co.uk/3903.product.html

Might give the jeans a go then ... if the rain stops!

Cinny91

Penguins are the only thing I could think of that waddle! That or a seal, but seals can't help waddling a little as they only have little flipper things.

LOL @ Birdie!! Sounds about right for me The skinny jeans in Primark are quite high waisted - thats why I like them as they cover my cake shelf and make me look pretty trim!

Birdie85

Oooh, might have to check out Primarni in that case! The last few times I've been in (although that was last year) I only bought clothes for OH. Must stop that! It's funny though, he won't go in himself and buy clothes because they're 'cheap and nasty' but if I buy him things and not tell him where they're from he loves them and wears them to death! His favourite warm fleecy jumper for watching Rugby cost three whole pounds!

OH bought me one of those Edward Monkton Penguins once randomly, I have no idea what he meant by it!

Thats the account closed! No more cheeky credit using for me.

Was searching manically for my account number and decided I really need to get rid of a lot of the paperwork in my room. Mainly because when I say 'paperwork' I mean scraps of paper with no use to me at all.

So going to get that done this afternoon, and write the toiletries list *gulp* You're all gonna laugh at me! (although if any of you want anything, help yourselves!)

Birdie85

I won't be laughing Cinny, I have loads myself! I have a box on the top of the wardrobe full of stuff that I brought with me when I moved (a year ago!) that needs using up! Job for tonight- go through and be ruthless with stuff that I won't use and put out bits that can be used where it is in reach!

When I went through my desk the other night I found loads of useless paperwork that I took to my parent's to shred but there's still 2 boxes to sort through. Oh Lordy, I've got so many boxes of 'stuff' to sort through thinking about it I don't know where to start!

Tete_en_l'Air

I feel your pain, I only just did my big clear out in December and already have piles of carp all over the place again, where does it all come from?! Might book a day off one of these days when OH's at work and just blitz it all again!

Birdie85

Good idea, just don't do what I tend to do which is get distracted by some long lost toy/book/gadget etc and spend ages playing with it and somehow end up with more rubbish lying around than when you started!

Cinny91

Pretty shameful, even though I didn't buy a lot of it.
So I'm going to tick things off the list as they get used up, which could be pretty few and far between, but I'll try!

Any of you girls on the DooYoo challenge stuck on things to review are more than welcome to come and take some of this! Please!!
