    Cloves and some dried orange peel maybe Birdie? You can oven bake it on a low heat for an hour or two to dry it out and it won't go mouldy. Very festive.

    Little parcel sent to you today btw Birdie :)

    Ah thanks! :)

    Will try the cloves and orange peel, will make me think of Christingle at school!

    Found an expired code for 25% off that still appears to be working, hurrah! So I've pretty much managed to get an extra frock for free! Not a bad haul actually, £145 worth of stuff for £46.50, got to love sales! :D

    Gah, it won't complete my order now !!!!!!! And now it looks like they've removed one of the items from my shopping bag and it's no longer available... Grrrr, typically it was the super bargain £7 dress that I really wanted too!

    I hope you are able to get a student card! You just have to see if your institution is on their website really so fingers crossed! Also when i did an evening course they had to deliver it to the college and I had to pick it up from there. I save so much with mine it's awesome!!

    Cinny, maybe your November and December goals can include 'Don't give OH any presents!' ;)

    That wouldn't be a bad idea! :rotfl: We were talking about buying for each other last night and I asked how much he was thinking of spending on me 'around 250 to 300' and I'm just sat there like, errrr, I've spent £50 :o But I've got him what I wanted, I don't just want to buy extra sh*t for the sake of spending the same on each other. Anyways, the boy should always spend more on the girl.

    Had to laugh reading you order posts, Birdie! At least you got what you wanted in the end. I have a random student card number on my topshop account that someone gave me ages ago as they'd "never shop there" and I've used it about 5 times, they keep sending me Student things so they really don't check up if you use a friends!

    What are everybody's plans for the weekend then?! Official Friday talk! I've got my Dad's 50th Birthday dinner tomorrow night, but tonight is mine and OH's date night. KFC and Paranormal Activity 3. Sometimes I wonder how we managed to get so darn classy!
