    Pickle went to the sales, and what did Pickle buy?

    Lots of toiletries gift sets to give away as presents to other people. :)

    On the other hand, Pickle has spent quite a bit, but being the cunning condiment that she is, will return said items purchased at -50% if she can get them in the -70% sale in a few weeks. She only bought the things that looked like they would run out of stock before then. She will also buy Picklebrother's boys smelly sets for part of his birthday present then as there are always millions of them left begging for a good home. ;)

    Pickle also went to the pub and met some nice muscial folk for a jamboree. Including a lovely boy. :o :cool: She needs to practice more, though, as the standard is very. very high.

    Pickle is also currently drinking a glass of rather nice brut champagne. And has Pickledog staring at her rather intently. And has work in the morning (not too early, but will have to beat the sale shoppers to parking spaces, so will have to leave the house about two hours earlier than usual. Drat!).

    Merry Boxing Day, and speak soon. When I've added up the receipts and gone :eek: at the damage I've done!

    I as I said on BTD's thread am very impressed at your ability to buy ahead in the sales, I couldn't even think about peeps I need to buy for in the forthcoming year...................not very MSE I know.

    I tend to buy a couple of really nice but general ones for those 'Oh it's my birthday next week, come out'/'Pants, I'm broke' situations. I make sure that they are nice enough that anyone would be happy ro receive them, and the upside is that if I don't give them away, I can always use them for myself! ;) (I must admit I bought one specific one for a friend, though.) It saved me a fortune last year, but does take up a bit of space.

    Also, I'm not entirely Miss Tidy Bedroom yet, either: must get Ebaying as the amount of stuff I need to get rid of is crazy!

    BTW, NSD yesterday! :D

    Well, I wouldn't got that far but *beams with pride*. :D

    Also, just returned a jumper I bought in ASDA for £14 as I realised that I wouldn't wear it, and found a Peppa Pig T shirt down to £4 from £7 to finish off my Peppa-obsessed goddaughter's birthday present late in the month. :):):) £10 back to me and present sorted.

    I didn't spend anything else, so do you think this could count as a NSD as it's money from a refund. I'm technically richer than I was when I started it! :)

  • My Dearest Pickle,

    I hope 2011 brings the job of your dreams, a fantastic opportunity to play your music, as many pennies as you need and lots and lots of smiles and belly laughs

    You are an adorable, witty and supportive gal and the world is your Pickledom xx
