    Yes! I'd rather have savings, especially as I'll be in so much debt when I come out of uni.

    I love Cath Kidston things. I don't own any but I look through the catalogue and just love the patterns. But then I see the prices and a lot are not worth it, I don't see why people pay so much for some things.

    Oooh you'll have finished work now.

    Just! My lift home is normally at 5 but my dad is so excited because we've got new sofas (after 10 years our old ones gave in) we're setting off in a tick.

    The only cath kidson thing i have is one of those £3.50 shopper bags from tescos. I love laura ashley bits too!

    I might not be able to get on later, so if not, have a fun trip!!

    I really want one of those Tesco bags, but there isn't a Tesco that near to me. Well, they are not miles away, but just out of the way.

    Thanks :D

    I hardly ever go to tescos, but I made a special trip for one!

    Sat in my jammies waiting for tea! Just started a new knitting pattern for a pair of gloves which should keep me busy / off snacking for afew nights. Just signed on to do the '100 days' challenge on the debt free wannabe part of the forum. 100 days without new makeup or gossip magazines(I'm a sucker) speechless-smiley-040.gif Going to be quite hard because I go into boots alot!!

    Oooh, I am rubbish at knitting. But I'd love to be able to do it properly.

    Oooh good luck! You can do that. What do you usually buy in Boots? Could you buy it elsewhere or not go in?

    Here's for a NSD tomorrow :D

    I have this book called 'Yeah, I made it myself' it's full of really easy sewing/knitting patterns. I want to be able to knit the classic bacon and eggs beret in jackie magazine! They have the ultimate jackie annual in my local library, so once I've burshed up on my knitting skillz i'm gonna have a crack at it.

    I normally just go in to look at new makeup! (how sad?) Or Frank wants to go in for lynx or something of the similar. It's the fluorescent lighting, i'm like a cosmetic moth. Thankfully, because of this, I have enough makeup to last me. I can get most things like shampoo, nail varnish remover ect from wilkos or a bigger poundland.

    Hahahaha...'cosmetic moth', love it!

    Yes, well maybe you could put some money aside per week and buy yourself some nice make up as a treat at the end of 100 days?

    That sounds like a plan! I think 100 days brings me to december the 23rd, and I don't think I could cope with boots or superdrugs crowds that close to christmas. So I'll most likely go after christmas when I do my christmas sale hunting. I'm going to need mucho will power, makeup has to be my one great weakness!

    Sounds like a good plan! Maybe you could look up some new ideas online that you can do with your current make up?
