    Oooh how about this one instead, a bit different to my usual style but would mean I don't have to worry about a petticoat?!

    A little over-budget at £25 but the Jack Wills set is half price this weekend at Boots, I'm fairly sure that most teenage girls love JW!

    Hmmm. Wonder how many advantage points I have.

    Heh. Sound like a mega skinflint!

    I have enough. That seems like a good call.

    Not at all, you have to be strict with present budgets or it gets crazy! A couple of years ago I told my brother that I wasn't even going to bother buying for him and SIL anymore as they didn't need anything, we didn't need anything in return and it was a waste of money! How bah humbug of me! :p

    ETA: There are cheaper JW gifts available so you could get something smaller and add something else. :)

    Ok. That's one potential thing. They're sisters so don't want to get them the same thing.

    Not a skinflint....a savvy shopper! ;) I just bought my Yankee Candle advent and some S&G body spray with my Boots points. Ok, they were for me and not a present, but there's something satisfying about treating yourself but not having to pay a penny!
  • Tea, loving the motivational speaking! :D

    Birdie, those dresses are lovely! :)

    Pyxis, I got 2 of those antiviral foam sprays today, nice handbag size :)

    Boots often have good 3 for 2 things on as well this time of year code, so if you do get things from there (and definitely use points!) you could maybe get a spare one in stock for next time.
  • Sometime in December I think it is (tells you in Martin Lewis deal predictor) the Soap & Glory box comes on offer, down from £60 to about £29.

    Mmm tattie pot for tea yummy! :D

    Going back a few posts.... I used to love La Redoute stuff (in fact, am wearing a jumper from there today, few years old now!) I gave up on them in the end as I had loads of problems with deliveries and them taking money twice.

    Was a few years back though, maybe they've got better. They do have really lovely clothes.
