  • Guys, I'm going to log off now - the cats are getting jealous of the laptop being on my lap and not them!

    Still waiting for DD to go to sleep so I can swap the empty stocking on her door for the 'one i prepared earlier' ;)

    I also have to eat a mince pie, 3 cookies & an apple & drink a glass of milk just before going to bed. At least there's no baileys this year. Since I had those 2 pound inducing bottles a while back I cant bear the stuff. Why, oh why doesnt it work for nuts, crisps, chocolates & bread :confused: .
  • Why oh why can't I stop looking at the online sales:confused: I promised myself I would only buy things if I knew I would definitely wear them and they were at least 70% off or under £20 and there is loads of stuff!:o

    Sarah,
    set yourself a definite amount that you can pay without using credit & then buy only up to that limit.

    As William Morris said " Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful ".

    That's always worked for me when facing a purchasing dilemma. Needs & wants all taken care of :D .

    I know that I have money due in gifts & am determined to buy some new bedroom furniture rather than clothes . . . :eek: .

    There is no point in buying clothes for the size you are now as you wont be that size next year :D.

    I have to go to bed now so wish you a very happy christmas - be it with family or sales ;)

    Love & hugs to all

    Lula xx
