  • Hope you all have a fabulous christmas.

    I must have been a good lady(?) as Santa bought me a pair of strippy Welli Bobs!

  • I've been a saintly alcohol-free MSEer so far...

    Its just me and my mum this Christmas. She's been poorly for a few weeks and the doctor put her on antibiotics on the 23rd so in sympathy with her I didn't have anything to drink on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day (or today for that matter). I'm not missing it but I don't feel virtuous either.

    Hope you all had lovely Christmas Days.

    Aww, I hope you had a great day with your Mum. I have ad plenty of alcohol for the two of us! I am currently suffering a 'red wine headache'!

    I have managed to spend almost £100 in the boots sale (on line!):eek: And a further £48 online a WHSmith:eek:. I promise to be good as soon as I have thought up some more impossible challenges for myself in the new year!

    Hope everybody had a fabulous Christmas.

    Best to stay away from the M&S site then, wish I had :o.

    Look forward to reading your challenges :T

  • Hmm, I may just have purchased another Kipling bag:rolleyes:, now I'm not really a bag n shoes type gal, but these bags are fabulous for Msing (great excuse - best of the year perhaps?):j as they have so many different compartments. I have been using my first one for a couple of years, hubby bought me another for Christmas and now QVC and my credit card conspired againist me, meaning another one is on its way to me:eek:. In my defence I have some Christmas money to spend, no:eek:w I know I could just save it but I'm also going to buy a pair of boots:p.

    OMG Dinah you don't know what a Kipling bag is:eek: The are the most 'organisable' bags in the world! They must be designed by a woman! They are not the most elegant but are fabulous darling!

    Money Queen how many Kiplings do you own? I had a great Christmas thank you, hubby and I don't buy each other much as we would prefer to wait for the sales. Also my inlaws tend to give us money, hence the Kipling bag! I am still looking for a pair of boots though.

    I went sales shopping today and spent th grand total of £13.17:A
