I have had a lovely day. My friend treated me to lunch out at the Trafford Centre for my birthday next Friday.

I took the dress I have for dd's wedding and tried to match a little bolera style jacket - but there wasn't that much in the shops yet. I'll wait a little longer for the Christmas Party stuff to arrive.

I have been having a bit of a saga trying to find shoes - I want navy shoes with a small heel which is basically a court shoe with a strap across. This is the only stylish style I can manage with my dodgy ankle. Anyway to cut a very long story short I've been looking since Easter when I got my dress and when I say I've scoured the shops I mean it LOL. Anyway I managed to get a pair today - the only thing I didn't like was the price BUT I was beginning to think I'd be going barefoot. I am not going to include the price in my spends for the month as they have come out of my wedding budget which I've been saving all year. I have also seen a couple of coats I like and am undecided which to get. A fur one (faux fur) and a woollen one with furry cuffs. I'll take dh to help me choose.

So yes I have had a lovely day, thankyou ladies. Although the phone rang at 5.45 this morning - it was a taxi. No idea where he got the house number as I'm x-directory. I wasn't amused and I don't suppose he was either - I didn't check if it was outside the house or if he'd just mis-dialled, but that was it I was awake for the day.

Other than my shoes and a bit of petrol the day cost me £3.50 for a cuppa for myself and friend.

Household spends total £221.97

Petrol total £50

Clothes total £20

Entertainment total £3.50

Sounds like you had a fab day and so glad you got your shoes.The 2nd coat sounds the nicest.You're right there will be lots of boleros about shortly so you'll be able to find just what you want.

Well done on NSDs x

Had a busy few days here.

I was relieved to find out the scan didn't reveal an enlarged aorta which is what they were looking for. But they still don't know what is causing the discomfort - but thankfully it can't be anything too serious.

I have ordered the fur coat (not real fur) it is so unlike me or anything I'd usually wear so I decided to go a bit mad LOL - and I managed to get 20% off as a friend bought it on her discount card for me Again I'm taking that from my wedding fund rather than monthly spends.

I have had a bit of an expensive weekend as it has been my birthday and close friends ruby wedding anniversary but nice spends have been the order of the weekend.

Household spends £009 Total 230.97
Petrol £000 Total 50.00
Clothes £000 Total 20.00
Entertainment £030 Total 33.50

GRAND TOTAL 334.47

I have been very spoilt and had a lovely weekend - had meals out, been to a ruby wedding party and received some gorgeous presents for my birthday. DD is coming home next week as she has been working away.

On Thursday at slimming world I'd lost 2 and a half pounds and got slimmer of the week - not sure why as some of the others lost 5 and 6 pounds - maybe it's because I keep plodding on lol - story of my life!!! something tells me I won't be repeating that this week. I'll be very lucky not to have put a good amount on - I have till Thursday to do a bit of damage limitation.

Must get on top of house work this week as I've neglected things badly of late.
