Brilliant idea. I'll start one myself me thinks.

On the book front, if your library hasn't got it in stock you can ask them to order a copy and you will be charged a couple of quid maximum. When it comes in, you are the first one to read it so you still get the 'new book feeling' thing. Just take it back within the loan period or remember to renew it so you don't get charged. Not sure if all libraries run like this but ours does. Its worth a shot.

Ah I did look in the libraries online all across Cumbria to see if they could send it to my local one but none do it. Worth asking if they can get it in though. Cheers I'll do that. Waterstones doesn't even sell it!:o

Rather than Q10 you could buy Aqueous cream - just bought a kilo pot (it's huge!) from Savers for £1.99. Will probably last years. Last one I bought was about 3 or 4 years ago and that was less than half the size and cost me 99p. Last of the big spenders, me:rotfl:.

yes I've heard of aqueous cream. Never seen it anywhere but my friend swears by it for her eczema.:)

Fab Ive bought my winter boots from Asda. Real Leather so will hopefully last a good few winters.

New list 25th Oct

Winter coat
Kingsize duvet cover
Christmas party dress

Ill come back next month to see if I actually 'need' these.

hmmm so I managed without a winter coat...although I was cold. I just didn't want to spend money on one I didn't like as I wouldn't wear it.

got a duvet cover in the sales at asda.

Party dress from boohoo.com for £15 - bargain!

New years list:

beige trench coat
kindle cover

MrsPorridge

Check out the Kindle covers on Amazon - I got a fab one for the Kindle fire for £14.95 (inc postage) - saw one which wasn't as nice for £29.99 in Waterstones

Might even be worth checking out Ebay this month - am sure there will be bargains to be had - people selling off unwanted gifts.

Awesome idea! I can't think of anything I want right now but I'll be back when I get the urge.

Where i can, I will add the items to my wish list on Amazon so I can really review what i might have been tempted to spend and then get the satisfaction of deleting them
