Little Lights - Cinny's 2011 Diary

zigmeister

Glad you're feeling better I'm feeling alright, just a weird one-off!

Those pigs in bubblewrap (fab name! ) sound bizarre! I've never heard of them either! Let us know what they're like.

Did you order the telly tonight? I know I would have - I'm waay too impatient!

Yeah that is weird that they said issued. Maybe they hope people forget about them so don't issue them until people ring up?! :think:

YAY! I'm so pleased Percy is staying! :j

Have you seen this Day Zero thing? I discovered it on someone's diary on here and I love it! It's basically like a bucket list, but in 1001 days. I've started my list and it's quite addictive thinking of things to put on it. I love a good list anyway.

Yay great news about Percy.

Exciting about the tv as well. Have you ordered it?

Cinny91

OH is ordering it as I type Wendz. *does a little dance*

Went food shopping today, spent £40. It's creeping up :eek: My problem was I was bored and just trawling around the place trying to take as long as possible because my Mum was working and ended up buying £6 worth of treat stuff, £2 on bits for OHs Birthday, £3 on toiletries and £4.50 on extra milk and juice to last us well into the middle of March. We'll use it all, so I don't feel bad and we've still got £10 for the jar. Just if I'd behaved I would have saved us £15. Oh well, only live once I guess Did save a bit on veggies though, parked in Asda and walked to Aldi for their 39p bargains!

Spent the rest of the afternoon at my parents, watched a movie with my Mum and played with the dogs. Finally remembered to bring my full length mirror from theirs, as well as a bag of my DVDs. And my Mum gave me a rusty coloured jumper (little baggy, but I'm wearing it atm with a long vest and leggings and it looks quite nice!) and a taupe-y coloured waterfall cardigan with studs down the front. Nicely rock-ish without being OTT. Feeling quite spoilt, even if it was my own stuff/hand outs My Mum was sorting for a carboot too, so I grabbed a book I think OH will like.

I have heard of that Day Zero site Zig, signed up now though Looks kind of fun!! I thought the same thing with the Sky vouchers, but thought I was just being a little cynical

Feeling funny again today. A little bit sick, and sleepy. I'm not hungry at all recently, but then get cravings for odd foods (like sweet pickled onions the other day!) so give into them then feel so sick afterwards. No idea what's wrong with me atm.

Anyways, had a sort out through all our books, dvd, general tat and have got 3 bags of stuff the carboot. Turns out I'm going and helping! I love doing carboots though, will mean getting up an hour earlier than needed just to get too my parents mind. Not so nice!

OH had an extra hour off work this morning, so I cooked him a breakfast and packed up his lunch. Done all the house work, just need to get my face on as my Mum is over in 30mins and I *think* we're going to the outlet center. Need to get OH a Birthday card, and I've moved some pennies from our house account across as now it's getting sunnier we can get a washing line sorted.

Was speaking to him last night about all the silly hours he's putting in and he kind of confessed he's doing it because he wanted to give me a couple hundred on my Birthday so I have some spare money And I got all teary, how sweet is that?! Told him he doesn't have to, he should know I'd rather have no pennies and a happy OH over lots of pennies and a unhappy one.

Anywho, best get a move on as I want to get the cheesecake base for dessert chillaxing while we're out!

Ah bless him. I was talking to OH about all the overtime he is doing aswell, and he said its because he wants the best for the baby and doesnt want me to feel like I have to go back to work after baby is born if I dont want to. Cant believe he is thinking about things like that so early on!
Men can be soppy when they want to

wendz86

Aww aren't men sweet sometimes. Bless both your OH's!

Flower - my OH is the same, he tells me i don't have to go back to work but we would be worse off so will see how I feel when the time comes.

I quite enjoy doing carboots too Cinny, not the getting up early bit though.

Cinny91

Awwh, that's lovely of both your Misters They do have their moments don't they?

Back from the shops. No washing lines, in all fairness we do quite well with the clothes horses around the house so it isn't really a big rush. Moved the pennies back into the house account.

I did, however spend £8. £5 on a black body con mini skirt - now it's little warmer I want to wear tights instead of leggings everyday but some of my tops are a little too short to pass off with leggings! Anyways, that was in the sale and it should have been £15, which isn't bad. Then my Mum wanted to go too Asda too (3rd trip there in 2 days, how thrilling!) and they had the £1 rubbish man books OH likes so I got him two for his birthday, and his birthday card. Which I've hidden away until Saturday.

Cheesecake is looking good. It's the 80p Greens kit I've used, with half a grated and juiced lemon thrown in as I read a couple reviews and it's meant to be pretty bland without something put it.

Off to do a little DIY-ing of those jeans my Mum gave me a few weeks back. Then just need to get tea oven-ready! Stupidly excited for it

Isn't it lovely when everyone's OHs are being sweet! Let's hope it lasts!

Haha, obviously we are both a bit cynical then! Good job you nagged them. Wha's your name thing on dayzero? (Unless you're keeping it private) I thought it looked kinda fun too! In a weird, nerdy kind of way..

Ooh that sounds strange. Sick/sleepy/cravings.. could you be pregnant?

Was speaking to him last night about all the silly hours he's putting in and he kind of confessed he's doing it because he wanted to give me a couple hundred on my Birthday so I have some spare money And I got all teary, how sweet is that?!

Aw that's so lovely! What a sweetheart; you two are so cute!

What did you have? I had salt beef sandwiches. Yum!

Cinny91

Noo, I'm not keeping it private. Just wanted it all completed before I put it out 'there' Here it is.

My Mum said the same thing about being pregnant when I told her how I was feeling, but we haven't had any accidents so it can't be that. Feeling all sleepy and sick again this afternoon, so I'm going to sit and watch Big Love on anytime before I do any housework! Just a big yawn monster atm.

Anyways, OH got paid today so sent me £240 for March's bills. Silly chap was only meant to send me £190 as £50 of that is my little council tax repayment. So I'll have to get that out of the bank and put it with the cheque my Mum made out to him for my telly as transfers from my bank take a lifetime.

Bit piddled with his work ttoday, he'd booked his last holiday week down for next week to get them used up before they vanish come April. Got a text from him earlier saying how they've put him down to work Sunday (start of OH's works 'week') I wouldn't normally be upset by it, but I'm not seeing him on his Birthday because they put him down for the races. And we'd made plans to celebrate it Sunday instead, and now we can't. Plus it felt like the first time we were going to spend a full day together in a while So I'm feeling quite blue about that, and I think only sweeties can fix it.

So I don't end the post on a downer, I checked my Quidco and I'm getting £5.23 in payments this month. Which isn't pretty welcome! :j And we're having pasta carbonara with garlic bread tonight. Yum!

Is it only me the day zero site doesn't load for?! Tried it this morning for Zig and again now for Cinny's - 10 mins later and only the first 7 have loaded.

I agree it does sound suspiciously like pregnancy, but then again you could just be fighting a virus. No contraception is 100%!

Mmmmm love carbonara.
