The Trials & Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

Might be easier to say what I'm not buying lol. Just finishing off Christmas shopping mainly but keep thinking of other things to get.

Have treated myself to some v cute christmas bedding - I don't do any other decorations (used to just have a tree but haven't done that since the cat arrived) so figured instead of baubles and tinsel I could enjoy my wintry duvet cover and cushions

ETA: I might also be wearing new boots today :rotfl:

Nice! I like the bedding.

I've also been on a binge the last few weeks. Total shame on Saturday - I do all my Amazon orders to Collect+ in my local convenience shop, and I caused a MASSIVE queue as I waited for them to scan my big pile of packages on the ridiculously slow system.

Really need to sort out at home and sell some stuff - feel guilty when I go on shopping sprees (though we've got not debt - it just means we save less this month - so it's not bad really).

Dammit. I love that bedding but am boycotting ASDA.

I've been buying loads too. Got a pair of new boots on Amazon Black Friday deals and because I'm a fat pie, I've needed a whole new winter wardrobe.

Yeah, what with their screaming and squealing and waking up at 5am to open presents and their demands for expensive things and £169 for One Direction tickets that people are actually buying and their sugar induced hyperness that results in tantrums. Perfect.

£169 for 1D? Seriously?! That's daylight robbery.

Jings.

My mistake, £168 for a gig at the Glasgow Hydro. What the actual fbomb? Who pays that?

I'll point out that I'm not a 1D fan, just saw it on facebook thought it was a disgrace.

tea_lover

Woah, is that for one ticket??
