    Right folks - back from shops!

    Thinking about all the suggestions..

    - No friends who work in cinema!! However I do have a stack of DVDs I havent watched yet (some bought over 3 years ago!!) so will plan home cinema night with mates soon. I will do popcorn if they do drinks :)

    - Buy clothes off ebay - well, I didn't do that. But I *did* browse charity shops today. Nothing off the fiver but I did get a fab long (bum covering!) jacket and 2 nice blouses for £14, going to risk jacket in the washing machine on delicate. This is coming out of the ebay £50 set aside for interview gear. I am sure I can get fab trousers for £36, and if not, I have loads of long black skirts. I had a similar jacket to the one I just paid £8 for a few years ago for which I paid.. £75!!!!!!!

    - bath - yes, will have nice soak in tub tonight!

    - book - looked at books, nothing in charity shop. However postie brought free magazine trial (courtesy of MSE freebie thread) today so have gossip to be going on with

    So what I *actually* bought was..

    Raspberry vodka mudslide (yum!) - £1.19
    Golden Syrup Cake (on special) - 65p
    Diet coke 6 pack (guilty pleasure) - £1.09
    Diamante thong!!!!! (well, I'd never buy one normally!) - £1.99

    8p over so bought fruit chews at newsagents per Lenny's instruction.

    I'm going to write my 'to do' list for Monday then forget about everything on it for the rest of the day and relax. Have fab veggies in for healthy lunch.. then it's right into the cake!! B/f isn't comig over til Tuesday (he's the primary cake scoffer) so it's ALLL FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks all for your suggestions!

    ok, I have to ask you, what exactly is a raspberry vodka mudslide?
    Is is something you eat, drink or slap on your face???????


    I've been popping back to this thread all day because I've been dying to know exactly what you bought. Sounds like you did well for your money :D

    Enjoy all of it.

    that sounds gorgeous, despite the fact it's really cold here today. I think you need to shut your eyes when you drink it and pretend you're on a hot, sunny beach. In fact I think you should give me the raspberry vodka mudslide and you have the diet coke :D
