The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Dinah - I found her! My eyes hurt for all the scanning but she's Tilly2484, just looked on her website and she does delivery (from what I can grasp!) she seems pretty nice so I'd drop her a PM on here or something.

They have a sale on? oooo, tempting! I've found a pair I like in Bank. They look pretty chavtastic on their own but I think I could make them cute and more 'me' worn with my new dress and boho hair! hmm..

Argh my head is melting trying to find a decent holiday option! We have about £850 total, for holiday + spends, but would prefer to be in under this obviously. So if we go all inclusive can go up to about £380, but less if its HB or B & B. We don't want to go somewhere just for the sake of it, but I don't even know what the part of Greece we want to go to is called...... ARGH.

You might be looking too early for October Dinah, prices will go down closer to the time.

That's so annoying about your parcels Birdie, our lovely postie lets himself in the back garden and puts things in the greenhouse for me He must've been on hols a while back tho as the postman then put my new Office sandals in with the chavvy family over the road. When I collected them the box and packaging was all ripped open, I suspect if I didn't have ginormous size 8 feet they may have claimed no knowledge of my package!

My postie lets himself into the HOUSE to leave parcels if the door is unlocked! He gets mobbed by the cat and rabbits though, so its all okay.

Our Postie is just basically useless, leaves things inbetween the bins without even a note saying they're there :rolleyes: Plus he smells really bad and has gunk in the corners of his mouth. But that's by the by.

Completely off topic, but has anyone seen the trailer for The Lovely Bones? I've just watched it on Youtube with no sound but it looks really good. Been waiting for this film for years!

Dinah - where was it you found the super cheap sunny holidays for september? My sister is trying to find a bargain like that but is worried she'll end up camping at a haven site on her budget!

Just wanted to say that I agree about the Kurt Geiger shoes! I'm building a collection! I bought all mine in the sales, they are such a bargain for what they are. I have so many pairs of cheap uncomfy shoes that I always go to Kurt Geiger first now.

I need to buy some shoes for a wedding but the Kurt Geiger sales don't have what I need (a plain black court shoe), but they have a lush pair that are full price (£110). I think I'm going to have to find a cheaper alternative though.

Good luck with the holiday hunting Dinah!

Could have sworn I saw a nice black court shoe on their sale last night. I was tempted by them in fact!

Holidays, I've been looking on teletext website, lastminute.com, thomas cook too, but mum found the Rhodes deal on travelzoo.

I've just had a look on their website and the shoes I saw that were full price in the shop were reduced to £49 on there! But they only had a size 8, typical. :rolleyes: They were so perfect as well! *sob*

Right, I will not stress about the holiday. I will keep looking, gradually, for good deals/getting quotes. If I wait until the week before, it doesn't matter, we have the time booked for something, and it might be cheaper. Have been looking at shoes to calm me down.

Seeing how I've got you all looking at shoes now - I need help! I can't find a shoe to go with my dress for my Uncles birthday dinner. It's next Friday so I'm feeling pretty desperate about it. This is the dress: http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=20552&storeId=12552&categoryId=134452&parent_category_rn=49448&productId=1278994&langId=-1

Up to £40-£50 budget, as I have another few dresses with the same colour scheme which would benefit from a heel. So I'll no doubt wear them lots. I'm stumped!

Good idea with not stressing over the holiday Dinah, I'm sure you'll find a fantastic bargain nearer the time, you always seem to!
