The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread

Nichelette

Okay, I'm having a mini dilemma.... I was looking through a magazine last night and saw this dress http://www.lipsy.co.uk/Product/16779_Lace_Diamante_Button_Dress_.aspx . Although I'm normally a jeans & hoodie type of girl I really like it, but it's £50 plus £4 postage which is a lot more than I'd usually pay for a dress. Because I obviously can't try it on I don't know what it will look like on me, and I don't know how lipsy sizing comes up because I've never tried anything of theirs before.

My mum has owed me £40 for the last year, but she has said I'm going to get it back soon, and I'm getting the £25ish cheque from global test market once it has been processed so I wouldn't need to dip into the money I already have as such (I had kind of written off the £40 before I spoke to here the other day). Would I be an idiot to buy it? I'd love to wear it to my boyfriends birthday but can't decide what to do, argh! Does anyone know how lipsy sizing comes up?

Ooh, I didn't see your post about icesave CL, I'm glad you will be okay now

Oh thats brilliant CL... im dead chuffed for you. xx

Nikki - that dress is so pretty. I would say buy it. If it doesnt fit, or you dont feel comfortable you can send it back. You have an occasion to wear it - your boyfriends birthday - so why not treat yourself this once?

I have just written a nice review of where my mum lives in Ireland (havent posted it yet!). and now I cant wait to go there in December!

Going to my sisters for dinner tonight. She is cooking salmon risotto

Thanks Amy & Mabel. I've bumped a post for lipsy discount codes as I can't find any so I'll see if I have any joy with that later tonight. If not I'll order it and see what it's like when it arrives. I love beans on toast, with cheese though! Anyway, I'm going to run off to see my friend now .
