    Quidco has tracked £7.84 for last nights spending spree :j :j and last time even though I sent a load back they still paid out on the total amount ordered ;):D

    I've just looked through what I've ordered and it was as follows:
    4 pairs of boots , 4 pairs of jeans, one pair of shoes, 5 pairs of tights, 2 bras, 3 pairs of trousers, 3 dresses, 1 scarf, 3 pairs of socks, 2 cushions, a set of drawers for the hall and a jumper and trousers for ds :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Really had better get aqa'ing!!! I expect I'll only keep one or two pairs of jeans and boots and one dress, they were all similar but it depends what they fit like as to which I keep ;) Hopefully the total will come in at around £100.

    Anyway, back to today ... my bank account is still looking fairly healthy (excluding the above ;) ), for this month, so I'm gonna really try and have a couple of cheap days today and tomorrow. Amazon still haven't taken the money for the Wii yet either :D

    What is your green light doing on right now? you should be AQA'ing to recoup the cost of your Next shop :p

    Seriously though, have a fab day with DS, and perhaps amazon might forget about the wii money, and you get a freebie :confused: you never know your luck!!

    We've just got back from the beach, it was beautiful down there today, it was really calm, no breeze, the sun was out and there was hardly anyone else there ... heaven after the supermarket/shopping hell of the last few days :rotfl:

    We walked a bit then threw stones in the sea, wrote "Merry christmas" in the sand and then stopped off for a big trifle at the shop on the way home :o

    Now we've just put Toy Story on and are vegging on the sofa ;):D

    Confession time .... my sister phoned to say whe would rather I don't take the Wii round with me on xmas day as there will be lots of other things to play :mad: :confused: (she doesn't like games and stuff :rolleyes: ) ... soooooo ...... I have unwrapped it and been playing it for the last hour :D Its great !!! Still not sure how much use I'll really get out of it, but I think part of it is I'm not used to buying frivalous things anymore and can't get my head round it :D;)

    Even ds had a go (when I finally let him :o) and he wasn't that bad!!
