    We braved the sales, only got a pair of jeans for me though. DD1 got a few bits and pieces with her money so she was happy. It was soooo busy though, and I thought I heard on the news we were in the middle of a credit crunch!

    When the sales are on we all forget what we can afford and go mad for reduced things!

    It is hard to focus on saving when there are so many bargains about!

  • Hi all,

    I know what you mean about sales! there was no way I was going out shopping today as I really splurged before xmas. I've decided to take about £50's worth of it back as I will never wear it :S
