Hi all! Chatty as usual today

Today would have been yet another nice chilled day but I'm here there and everywhere in the role of Mum's Taxis. Still at least it means I've had a couple of hours in the house on my own, doesn't happen often!

today's outfit -

Joe Brown's dress
purple armwarmers from Katwise on Etsy (cold hands today!)
black diamond opaques
black fringed moccasin boots
multi strand necklace of multicoloured tiny beads that I thrifted a couple of weeks ago.
Will blog it later!

Hope everyone's ok, Daisy I'll prob get that stuff in the post today.

I've just had a text from a friend to tell me that she's left a recovery group we are part of to do something different, I feel really sad and just want to cry at the computer. (but won't because I'm at auni and have a lot of pride!!)

Organised shopping is the best way! It's how I curbed my impulse buying habits and it gives me a real sense of satisfaction to tick things off my list!
I'm also quite sad and budget a max price I'll pay for each piece, I love coming in under budget and having spare money for a nice coffee!

I'm going to make a great big list. I love listmaking. Not so sure about budgeting per item but I'm definitely going to set myself a total amount to spend. If anything's left over I'm spending it on books

am watching this on ebay but I think I'm too tight to part with a min of £21 for it including postage

Ohhh that's nice. You can probably find something very similar for a lot cheaper if you hunt around though.

I'm having ebay struggles. There's a very nice pair of flat IC sandals on there but a bit too pricey and I can't buy them till next week anyway. Fingers very tightly crossed they're still around once I've been paid.

I feel so silly because I've only known her for about 6 months but some people in life I really connect with and she was one of them. We might stay in touch but it won't be the same, there always seems to a be a stronger tie with someone who you are walking along side to a common solution and when their solution becomes different you have to take a step back.

I know it sounds like I'm probably talking in riddles and in the third person but that's ok

aw queen, can you go get a coffee or something and have a break from working for a little while?

I usually set myself a budget of £10 if I'm going to the charity shops to spend on what I want. Sometimes I go over my a quid or two but if I didn't set myself a budget I'd buy everything on a whim, at least having a budget means I really think about whether I want something or not...and it means that I'm brave enough to haggle!

No, I think I get what you mean, I've had a lot of friendships like that, where the bond seems to be much more intense/stronger because of common ground.
If you want to talk about it to someone, my PM box is open
