    Fat club - buh - put on 2.5lbs between Wed and Thurs (have no idea how) so instead of losing I put on .5lb but I am ok, know it will be off next week!

    Have any of you been in a Hollister store - went yesterday myself for the first time. What an experience, you have to queue to get in (wasn't that many people inside) and once in it is so dark you can't see anything and the writing on the tags is tiny so you can't see the price of the expensive american 'must have' gear! I felt OLD when I left with my neices' b/day pressie!

    Managed to get two jumpers in the M&S deal yesterday, lambswool for £10 instead of £29.50 for only day only so that was good

    Today is very very cold and I have turned the heating on for the day, its just freezing but thankfully no more snow.

    I work near one. It's interesting as they go against all the 'rules' of retail (light, airy spaces to entice customers), and delitberately don't have prices on to create the 'if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it' feeling which makes people feel that they have to buy. The branch near me also have semi-naked short/bikini clad people at the shop front to entice customers in.

    Never been in myself. :whistle:

    Yeah I heard about the semi-naked 'kids' at the door before

    Unbelievable experience I don't intend to repeat!

    Pre-LBM the non pricing of items so would of worked on me, I would of felt inadequate and out of my comfort zone and hence would of thought sod it, I'll put it on the credit card whatever it costs!

    Now, I would just think sod that it obviously costs way more than its worth lol!
