Lulabelle's MFW Diary

MallyGirl

I am going through a phase of Window Shopping online. I keep finding myself with full baskets, look at the total and exit without checkout. It seems to satisfy some urge to shop. I don't need anything but if an email with an offer lands in my inbox I just have to click on it. I work in Marketing - I should know better!

Lula I think if next deliver to store and they return it for non collection they charge you to return it. Would be worth checking.

Enjoy lunch, me and oh need to make more of an effort to do stuff without the kids. X

I've just been ordering on next website - they charge £1.75 admin fee for non-collection. May be worth collecting and returning it in one go if the store isn't too far out of your way.

Yes - it's £1.75 - I'd spotted that when I checked through the website after ordering.... I'm still not collecting though. There's a tonne of items (as you can imagine for the best part of £400) and I might be tempted to keep something. Plus it will be embarrassing collecting all of that and returning every single thing, so happy to part with £1.75 for the saved embarrassment! Not very Money saving but hey ho!

Body blast wasn't a blast but a friend joined the class, so we had a few giggles. And, a nice cuppa afterwards in the garden at the hotel - one of the perks of our membership so didn't cost us anything.

Few bits of work now and then I need to get ready for my late lunch..... Might have just eaten two handfuls of peanut m&m's to keep the hunger at bay!

Oops, I do this all of the time too - I just got a bit carried away this time and clicked to confirm before I even realised it.

Oooh I'm guilty of this too! Thank goodness there's so many bank checks and passwords that I normally lose my nerve and cancel along the way anyway.

Yep, this usually does wonders when online shopping, however the trouble with Next is that it doesn't have any of these, so it's too easy to confirm the bl**dy order. Oh well..... it will keep the stock pickers in a job if nothing else.

Lunch was rather nice... we skipped a pudding. I wasn't indulging anyway but DH wanted one, however the service was a bit pants so by the time they got round to coming back to us we decided to just get the bill rather than him having to stuff his pud down too quickly.

Bit fed up though.... I made a special effort to try and look nice as though it was a date, no comment from DH whatsoever.... might aswell have just gone stinking of sweat in my scruffs. Oh well.

Quick edit to add that i don't ever actually stink of sweat!!
