Sales Confession
Amazon - £13.80 (3 toiletries gift sets for Christmas 2011)
Amazon - £12 (Birthday present for Mr Fresian)
Boots - £12.25 (Hot water bottle for me, birthday present for brother)
Debenhams - £13.95 (Birthday present for Mama Fresian, Christmas decorations)
M&S - £67.20 BAH! (3 rolls of lovely Christmas paper, lots of gift tags, present for Mr Fresian's birthday, 3 sets of undies for me, work trousers, presents for best friend's birthday)
River Island - £20 (New trousers) These will likely go back as I'm too fat for River Island, but I like to pretend otherwise...
Accessorize - £26.49 (Shoes, earrings, birthday present, stickers for cardmaking)
Next - £87. I know, I know. (Shoes, 2 Christmas presents, 4 work tops, 1 pair of work trousers, 1 pair of jeans)
Total spend = £252.69 :eek:
On the bright side, not all of it will fit, so it should mean that the total spend is less than £150, which I can cope with

You know when you said it was "just the two of you" yesterday? Does that mean you left the spendy elves outside in the snow to starve?! :-)

Me currently getting pizzled on champagne (one glass, so unlikely), so joing the pizzled club!
R.E. sale spends: you know what, Fresian? Sod it! You've worked long and hard to get debt-free, all in the aim of being able to enjoy the odd blow out, so go for it! A lot of what you bought was as gifts to others, and overall you have saved yourself a fair old bit, so good for you: you're worth it! :beer:Please call me 'Pickle'
No More Buying Books: ???

Bah.
Was meant to be up at the crack of dawn this morning (Done) to go to the M&S sale. Sadly I feel like death warmed up so when I opened the door to let the moggies out for their morning constitutional and realised that it was pi$$ing it down raining I decided to admit defeat. No M&S bargains for me. I'm going to have to stalk the Grabbit board all year if I want to make sure that Christmas 2011 is a frugal one....
