    I don't think I'll be around much tonight, have to wrap the rest of the pressies and watch midsommer murders and an early night as am shattered.

    Merry xmas everyone, have a fab day tomorrow and see you all soon xxxxxx
  • Hiya all,

    I'm glad we're not doing typical xmassy stuff this year - we're having curry tomorrow, so it's all stress free and easy.

    Good luck with the present wrapping, yukki. Still need to wrap a couple of things for my sisters, then think I'll have an early night too.

    Evening everyone. I don't think the Amazon vouchers are instant lilmiss, mine still hasn't arrived.

    I think I'm going a bit sale crazy, I need to reign myself in but I've decided I may as well buy christmas/birthday presents for the year ahead whilst they are cheap. Earlier during my break I picked up a really nice party dress which was down to just £9 in New Look. I had to go to work so I left my mum with my card to pay for a few bits, but her and my sister were trying some stuff on & couldn't take itall in the changing room with them, so they asked the idiot at the changing rooms to look after it, and she got it all put away, so I lost my dress :(.

    As it turns out my sister got a couple of the same dress in a different colour and it would have been a bit big, so now I'm on a mission to get the size down on my break on boxing day. If new look opens at 9 I'll get a break at about 10, so hopefully I'll stand a chance. Failing that I'll have to borrow my sisters and pin it or something lol.
    Finally bought a home
