    HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINNY!

    Hope you have a super lovely day! Sounds like you've already got some fab pressies (can't trust myself to look at the links :D) and yay for the payrise too!

    I'd love some new honeymoon clothes, but sadly they have to come after paying for everything else, and I doubt there will be anything left over.

    My honeymoon wish list contains
    Oasis dress
    Sunseeker dress
    Dahlia Playsuit
    Manoush Dress
    Anusha Dress
    Anusha Top

    I keep considering weather to say to NIM - any clothes I sell on ebay and money I make of those, can I use them for new clothes? Basically have a clothes neutral budget. However I know the money is better put towards the honeymoon and wedding and I can just keep wearing the clothes I've had for summer since I was 15 or 16.

    Dinah, i know you hate Toluna...but...how about getting back into it and using it for Love2Shop vouchers to get some new clothes? Thats what im hoping to do. I've only been back on it a few months and i've already redeemed for £45 and im half way already to my next voucher...

    They are really slow, but they are reliable as they have been around for years. So at least you'd get the vouchers eventually xx

    It's a tough one, the money would be better spent on paying for the honeymoon and wedding but you want to feel great and look great on your honeymoon! I think the clothes neutral thing is a good idea!

    I like the bits on your wishlist too! I really want this and this but I think it's going to have to stay as a wish for now, especially the Coast dress!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I think offering to go clothes neutral is a brilliant idea! I know the clothes are low priority in the big picture, but if I was going on the most expensive holiday I'll ever go on and working my bum off to look great, I'd definitely want at least a few new outfits for the photos.

    Sheesh, I get told off for one Asos link - on the day of my birth too! - and come back to a bazillion clothes links. Pfft, my life is so unfair *drama queen*

    :p

    Really lovely stuff though *sighs* My summer wardrobe is just my winter wardrobe only with thinner cardies and pumps instead of Uggs! :o I like the idea of saving up Love2Shop vouchers for new clothes though Lulu, I might start doing that!

    Got more toiletries off people yesterday so update my list here All lovely stuff though, so I can't complain! Have a couple more things that will be used up in a week or so though, it is nice to cross things off!

    OH took me to Esholt yesterday :D Had a drink and some scampi fries in The Woolpack. Went to the cinema after that and as I got to pick the movie so we went to see Nanny McPhee :o

    Going for a walk in the park today, I'm having a 'surprise' party and I need to be out of the way for a few hours *rollyeyes* hoping the icecream man is out! :D
