    I always think of Lurky off Rainbow Brite!

    Okay, now I've got a picture of a cute fluffy thing in my head I don't feel so bad calling people Lurkers! :D

    I never really understood the VIP Next sale. It just seems so odd and complicated to me, with shifts and time slots!

    I was very good with my clothes shopping. Spent £185, got 10 different things I can mix up to 14 different outfits. I feel like a less scary Gok Wan! And I actually bought colour. Well, if I can class this as colour. I did buy this dress though, pretty enough to dress up but simple enough to wear day-to-day. Yay!

    Thanks CMD, things are good. I took the last 2 days off uni work (whoops) and sorted out quite a lot of stuff. We now have lights for the venue balcony, a cheese wedding cake, and a singing harpist to play during the ceremony, ceremony readings, and a table plan. Yay!

    Max, OH, my niece (which my sister will pay me for), the new baby, presents for my forthcoming birthdays etc. Then if there anything else leftover for me! I don't mind though, as I don't really shop in Next!

    Hi Amy! Don't feel like a peeping tom :rotfl: Good on you for doing the challenge though. I know I *should* do it, but any spare money is going to wedding stuff at the mo.

    Dinah, is it first past the post? At first, I thought you meant in one month which is why I kept quiet :o

    I am still on the Shrallenge - I've done 10/13 days so feeling quite chuffed. And knackered...

    Yay, Lara too! Sounds like you've sorted out loads in the last week or so. Are you managing to enjoy the build up rather than stressing?

    That's nice that you can have a bit of a splurge, haven't heard of the VIP sale before.

    Well girlies, you know what time it is. New Thread time! Poolie, if you'd do the honours of locking up, I think Cinny can clear up the mess this time (I'm supporting the new cleaning business :D). See you all on the other side. Please come fill the new room with chatter quickly, it's a bit white and scary in there at the moment.

    I will give Cinny a hand with the black bags. Just watch out for the mess in the sofa.

    Don't worry NIM the other cask is safely in my car. Have taken some of the bulbs out already.

    Think it is safe to say we may not get our deposit back on this place.
