    I got a beautiful Tatty Devine/Rob Ryan collaboration ring from my boyfriend, some lovely new pyjamas from Toast, some Sweaty Betty gym capris, a gorgeous White Company christmas tree topper for when I have my own Christmas tree in my own house! A little cast metal owl ornament (for my own little garden) and my mum took me to the Lush half price sale and I'm now stocked up for the next decade I think!! :D

    A white stuff top I wanted also went in the sale so my boyfriend treated me to it. Told him to get me a 14, he accidently picked up a 12... And it fits! Extra bonus haha!!

    (And too much chocolate and I'm eating too much)

    It's a nice feeling not checking my bank to make sure I'm not overspending. I paid my car tax but that's my first thing I've paid for for ages and I've spent nothing since! Hopefully I'll get addicted to NOT spending haha!!
  • Wow you got spoiled lady!!

    I kinda overspent today - whoops.

    Bought some new boots & a pair of trainers in the sale for £158!!!! Eeeeeeeek they will last me all year tho hopefully.

  • I have a huge weakness for shoes and clothes since losing weight but my wardrobe and chest of drawers are quite literally full so I must restrain myself this year! I am going to York soon but will try and window shop only!

    My birthday is March so will just start making a wish list haha!!

    Where were your shoes and boots from? (I'm avoiding the office websites like the plague in case I see something I fancy... I have a pair of Turqouise vans on my birthday hopes already lol!)

    No spending again today! Spending NYE with my boyfriend watching a film we've downloaded and he's treating me to dominos as he has some good vouchers and he wants some haha!

    I've traded him some vodka I got for my friends stag do in May (I rarely drink!) so all in all it's costing me nothing and I get rid of my vodka that's languishing in my wardrobe!

    My vans went in the sale, but not in my size :( Boo!

    NSD today and managed to redeem £15 of paypal through mysurvey! That added up so fast! It takes 10-13 days apparently to show up but I hope it comes fast so it can go straight to my OD :D

    Put some things on eBay today that I don't wear so hopefully will get a bit of money from that!
  • Yay love eBay!

    Love when you get a wee voucher, I am still waiting to get enough points before I can claim my first voucher.
