Haha yah I work just down from Oxford street, I just don't leave the office at lunch as I bring my lunch in so that saves me.

A Friday night in for me, OH is at work, his shifts have been mad lately, he's been starting at 6am and not finish till gone midnight. So its a chilled evening for me, i was going to do the cleaning so i didn't have to do it tomorrow but felt a bit sicky so just watched Benidorm instead, which always makes me laugh.

I've done so well all week, not spent a lot of money, just £1.50 each day for the park n ride, however today spent £35, my car needed some petrol so that was £20 and then popped to Asda and spent £15 :mad:

Tomorrow don't plan on doing much other than cleaning and chilling, i'm sure OH won't be up to much after this mad week at work, plus we're out all day Sunday so be nice for a day chillaxing and watching the footie, oh and X Factor :j

I really must sort out my wardrobe tomorrow, i need to buy myself my winter wardrobe as i hardly have any warm clothes. I must also sort out my budget for next month. I have so much to buy next month ready for my holiday. Need to get my hair done, buy some new prescription glasses, probably just go specsavers and get 2 for 1 on designer specs, don't want to spend too much as i will be asking for money for Christmas so i can get laser eye surgery :eek:

Off to hunt for some bargains on ebay...

Hi Hayles - just popped in for a catch up, your makeover day sounded amazing, I really want one of them when I have lost all my weight (may need to start dropping hints to OH now!)

I need a load of winter stuff too especially as work don't seem to believe in putting the heating on!

Hope you are well x x

Hi Penguin, thanks for stopping by - i hope you're well?

The makeover day was fab, you would love it - its great being made to look gorgeous. Just a shame the piccys are soo much money.

Primark has loads of winter jumpers, so i may head down there one morning next week and get some bargains before it gets busy.

Morning Hayley

You're doing well not spending very much money last week. I think I took over from you lol.
I went into Primark yesterday to look for jumpers but couldn't find any I liked or felt nice

Tuesday evening already - Don't ya just love it when the start of the week goes fast?!!

The weekend was lovely, shopping was fun, but didn't find much i like so only ended up spending £50 on holiday clothes, and £36 of that was in Primark. Bought a lovely boyfriend blazer, a nice skirt for holiday, 2 pairs of leggings for holiday, and a few vest tops. Oh and some lovely comfy slippers.

I decided to have a wonder round town on my lunch break yesterday and popped in Peacocks, i never go in there as its so not my kinda shop, but i actually shockingly walked out carrying a bag and spending £25 because i spotted a gorgeous dress in there which will an evening outfit on holiday, and a nice fashionable scarf.

Tomorrow i have the morning off so i'm going to spend the morning looking round charity shops, TK Maxx and a few other cheapy shops to try and find some bargains for holiday. I'm always spending £30+ on a top in River Island/Topshop but never really thought to try the cheaper shops. Thats where I'm going wrong.

Not much else happening here, other than the 8 hours i have done overtime so far this week. Woohoo!

Oh yeah Peacocks is pretty good for cheap fashionable bits, it wasnt until i looked on there website that i realised it wasnt for frumpy people! lol

Have fun bargin hunting tomorrow!

I thought the exact same thing Maria, i now know not to avoid those shops and walk post turning my nose up. Yes i admit, i can be a bit of a snob at times.

I love bargain hunting! Always looking in charity shops, just a shame i can never find anything. The one time i spotted a gorgeous real leather topshop bag i didn't have any cash, so i went to the cash machine, came back and it was gone. I will never make that mistake again.
