    I was a bit rubbish this year, went to Fenwicks on Bond Street for a shopping evening - 20% off everything in store.

    I bought Gucci Guilty (with afree body lotion) and £20s worth of fancy Xmas tree decorations. Absolutely nothing for anyone other than myself!!!!


    Hurray for being rubbish & for the Self Gifting Session :j

    Shoesy - sometimes a girl just needs to forget about chores & all the tedious stuff.

    I wouldnt mind a scrummy Italian for lunch. Or afters ;)

    Cards were not bought :o - really do need to get organised!

    And much food is still being consumed - am taking weightloss out of my signature for now - New Year, new plan methinks! :D

    I love fur :j but took me a while to find what I was looking for (far too many made me look like a giant teddy bear :o) Have gone for classic black, 3/4 length, slightly waisted - so think I will get a few years wear out of it (thanks Mum :A)

    I now want a hat - am loving trilbys! Woolly ones do nothing for me, my face is too round :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hey SG, I can sympathise with that - I looked like a yeti in one I tried on in Oasis :o

    Where did you get your coat, it sounds furbulicious - just made that up, ha!

    Loads of snow here - and it's freezing too :eek:

    Had two fab nights out, a meal with my work colleagues and meal with some friends last night, then a panto :j Had a really good time at both

    Managed to get out this afternoon and get most of my remaining Christmas stuff. Doesn't look like my missing Amazon parcel is going to turn up so looks like one emergency present to buy :mad: Have loads of domestic stuff to do but an currently snuggled up on the sofa with a pile of magazines :)

    That coat is really nice. The Amazon box might turn up yet. Depends who it's for but could you just explain that the post was delayed, understandable with the snow....wouldn't be fair to do that to a child though.

    Thanks - wore my coat the last two nights, and it's lovely and cosy :)

    Unfortunately the Amazon parcel is my Secret Santa present for work - so I need it by Tuesday!!! :mad:

    Oh no! I was vaguely thinking of getting my secret santa online but was worried about delivery times (and didn't want to pay the delivery charges) so managed to get it today in a massive speed shopping session.

    I've done all my shopping (well for presents) but I've not written many cards at all. mostly just managed to write one for people that I've seen (and that was mostly done on the bus on the way :o)
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)
