  • Ohhhhhh dear - not off to a good start.

    I did know it would be a spendy day as was meeting Beanielou and Flying Fresian for coffee - and also needed the motion lotion.

    But I also treated myself to a rather gorgeous purse in John Lew*is ..... now I did need a new purse but since it had a rather well known dog mentioned on it ..... it may also fall into the want category :o

    However, I did use the birthday money that was saved when I was treated to my meal out by friends (and did promise I would buy myself something that I wouldn't normally buy with it) .... so only cost me £9 in real terms.

    Still trying to justify it to myself .... does anyone else suffer huge guilt trips after buying something for yourself - even if it has been covered (or very nearly) by something like birthday money?

    And I did manage not to buy a handbag too (my big vice) - so I guess that's something:rotfl:

    My vice is handbags and purses with that well known dog on it. :o
    I was in a store on Friday that was having a 50% sale on on their beautiful, gorgeous, purses and bags from that range. It was heaven and hell both at the same time and I had to force myself to leave the shop :eek: but not before asking how long the sale would be on for though :o

    Please don't mention handbags!I have more than a few...:o

    Hope you all had a nice time rising.

    A spend day here as I went on an excursion,which I enjoyed very much,in spite of the constant rain.

    I've got a feeling that tomorrow's a dd day,so I won't get one until Tuesday.

    Wishing all a good week.

    Evening all, just watching the footie and declaring NSD #1 :j

    Pips Mum - hope little 'un is ok - err, is there anything the can actually do for the eating of a 2p coin or does nature have to just take it's course? :eek:

    bit of a lie in for me today after busy day yesterday, but have done the ironing and popped to A for a shop, total #1 £41 :eek: total after coupons £31, much better and cupboards bursting, I really must stick to a list when I go and start using up some of the things we have in. Luckily as it was a 'proper' shop, it comes out of the household grocery budget. Got two french sticks for 10p each in the whoopsies, not much joy with everything else as certain folks round it like doggy poo - there with the whole family barricading the area with trollys so no one else could get a look in :mad::mad: personally I hope they get the squits from the ton of fish one of them had (seriously about 10 fresh packs from the fishmonger - talk about greed) I consider filching some of it from a trolly when one of the men was looking the other way, but decided I didn't want anything THAt badly :p
