FE- I love Holister too, but haven't bought anything from there yet- just go in and drool! How big is your Amazon list? I bet mine can rival yours....I think it is 18 pages or thereabouts....
....

Their shirts are the only ones which have fitted me in ages so I am going to save up and stock up eventually.

As for Amazon wishlist, well I want things like a £600 soundcard, a £500 32 inch TV, etc, so it's a hefty one...got about 9 pages of stuff to get my mitts on!!

Everyone: Not got the waistcoat yet...will try to this week. Did spend over £30 in Primark yesterday though; plain long sleeve T shirts which I needed and a lightweight coat which I also needed (need being that I had none before and am COLD).

Well I have had a very enjoyable day

Took one of my neices out this morning spent £5 - then I went to return a computer keyboard I brought 3 weeks ago that isn't suitable for laptops £10 to commet and a dress which is too big £8 to George when I was in Asda I brought some nail varnish pads that I very much needed, instead of scanning @ £1 they scanned at £0.24!!! And they was vitally needed so quite a good bargain as these will hopefully last a good few months Nearly brought some for £1.99 in Superdrugs yesterday so today I brought six packets for less than one lol.

Trying to decide what to wear next Sat - I was going to get some linnen trousers from Liverpool and I am thinking I could really do with them for next sat so thinking I may have to internet order some Don't really know what to wear tbh. Shall have to have a good looksie tonight

Im tierd!

Hi all

NGlady - wouldn't the linen trousers crease a lot? I never wear anything in linen after having creasing nightmares in a favourite skirt - had to throw it out in the end.

NGlady

Oh may be fake linen lol, I had some last year from George and they didnt crease :O think i've decided my normal though leggings and a dress

aren't shoes strange. I have a pair of gladiator sandals that was so uncomfortable at first!! literally blisters after half an hour - but i've worn them all weekend this weekend and they havnt hurt once!

NG, they have nice linen trousers in Primark: £8 for full length and £6 for cropped ones.

Been bad. Got a Cath Kidston umbrella, and I also got a jacket I'd wanted for a year half price at Next. So that's £40 spent today.

Thanks for the info about your lessons ladies, it really helps to see what experiences others have had. I'm having another 2hr lesson tomorrow, if things don't improve then I'm going to stop learning for now. I think by my 6th hour I should be on a proper road?! I'll just pay per lesson for now as it's only £1 extra than block booking. That way I'm not as committed to staying with them. The instructor is from a large-ish local driving school, not independent.

NG, I wish I had nieces/nephews to take out My sisters are a bit young for having babies yet though, lol. I'm gonna have a look for the nail polish wipes as my bottle of remover is almost done.. can think of a few things I'm due to run out of.

I know you're both right about things happening when you don't go looking for them. Just gets a bit frustrating sometimes... especially as there are other things I have to work on before I'm even at the point where I could deal with relationships.

I'm gonna have to go into the city at some point as I have loadsssss of things to return there's so much stuff I want at the moment, it's getting ridiculous.

FE, you've been on a bit of a spend what happened about the waistcoat in the end?

CL - I'm wondering if because you don't have relationships, you believe there is something wrong with you that you have to change? Do you ever look in the MSE Arms Forum (the bottom one on the forums list)? There is a thread for people that don't go on dates.

Not you and returns as well as NGlady. I can't deal with that

I've reserved it in a store to go and try on and maybe buy tomorrow.

Good morning girlies

WOW I am so tierd this Morning, Mondays and Tuesdays are really long days - but hey oh, its the weekend in 3 more gets ups! I always find the getting up part the hardest of the day. Oh well, roll on 6 more work days and its payday

FE - I have never actually looked at many clothes in Primark - do they do a size 18?

CL - I do that a lot end up running things into the ground and then really needing them - I am terrible at buying certain things and sometimes having to go after work - which means I get home up to an hour later! Some people carry a mini note book with essential things they need in so they remember to get them when out - my problem with that is im forgetful and can imagin said note book to be left home more often than not.

It is very strange when you havn't been in a relationship for a long time, I am actually finding it harder to get into one now than a few years ago when I was new to it. You forget how to act, forget how to be. I have an annoyin addiction too, im a TEXTAHOLIC so I don't mean to but guys often feel a little errrr stalked by me, but its really not meant in that way lol I often don't realise im doing it to be honest.


Ooo and thanks by the way for sharing your catagories - I am going to try and track every penny next month. I think this is going to prove for some scary reading material!

Angela - you know you would LOVE to come shopping with me and CL and help us with our returning

On another note - a bit of a dilema. Dorothy perkins have emailed me (personally i'll pretend!) and have let me know about a 3 for 4 sale on the sunshop clothes - stuff I do need for my holiday. I am in the dilema of whether to buy now and therefore not have much money/much I need to get in Liverpool and save a bit of Money or wait until Liverpool with the benefit of being able to try on before I buy and not doing returns but with the disadvantage of loosing out on a tenner saved.

Also coast have personally emailed me and I purchased a summer top last night I know I shouldn't have considering I am saving up for a big day out. I shouldn't be allowed to check my emails.. Providing I am now fairly careful now I should have saved £110 from this month for Lpool though so not too bad and i'll have to just commision the rest

my new top: http://www.coast-stores.com/LAURA-CAMI/All-Sale/coast/fcp-product/2244570056 see named after me.. faite
