    Hey ladies.

    Monday wasn't so bad in the end, although having a spot of bother returning the ebay top, and I suspect one of my buyers is going to give me some grief-you know when you can just sense it? And work, well it wasn't the same pains in the behind who always give you grief, but didn't get stressed about it as I normally do. ie running round like headless chicken-fainting last summer and pains in neck from getting stressed. Let them have the stress instead. I'm just going to sit back, relax and watch the mess unravel.

    But apart from that I have the best bargain ever to report. Went on the grabbit while you can part of this forum. Comfort fabric conditioner is on sale for £1 in Morrisons, but they also have a £1 off voucher attached. Got four bottles for nothing and then (i know, low of the low), but found a random 10p on the pavement outside, so got my four bottles of comfort and paracetomols for 5p. That has to be my cheapest shop ever.

    Going to give two bottles to my mum, as she has just retired and they need to save their pennies too.

    Hope monday wasn't too traumatic for you. Also got Neals yard frankincense face cream sample today. Smells lovely.

  • When you can get excited about fabric condo purchases for nothing, and finding 10p on the floor, your DF journey is well and truly on the road!!!!

    Good for you, this is the mentality we all need......

    And to think I used to muster up the same enthusiasm for some Jimmy choos. I clearly need to get out more, once I've paid this lot off and saved for my house deposit.

    What a lovely sunny day it was today. Scabbed some more freebies, although the lady at the Clarins counter seemed to recognise me and my friend. D'oh! Still got the samples though. Yay!

    Bleugh minuting two back to back meetings tomorrow of 2 hours each. Yawn.zzzzzz

    Posted my louby lous to ebayer today, so hopefully they will be pleased with them. The final physical link to my past. And now need to take photo of size label for my size 8 top should have been a 12, to prove it was the wrong size. Honey i have been buying this stuff for a long time and I know an Italian size 40 is not a UK 12. I even tried it on to be sure, and my breasticles were being strangled.

    :)

    Small claim to fame. Germaine Greer held the door for me on the way to one of my meetings this morning, which was nice. The meeting however wasn't. zzzzz
