    I think we are back to putting a value on your time and your stress levels. Me, I'd pay the premium go through somewhere with some guarantees if I didn't know people by personal recommendation. I think I read somewhere that John Lewis were moving into that market too.

    So I threw away/decluttered some clothes that do not give me joy. A hole(ly) cashmere sweater, a fleece with a hole that I tend to wear when I am down. The dress that I bought for a funeral a few weeks back that I hated at the time but I was desperate. A waste of £20 and I knew it was when I bought it…:(

    There is a dress on sale that I love in an inky green colour that is reduced from £160 to £48. I am going to buy it slightly smaller than I should as incentive to drop a bit more weight. ;) It will do great for funerals with black accessories. I can also wear it for occasions that call for smart. I’m a little annoyed as the £20 I wasted on the now decluttered dress could have gone towards this. Proof positive, buying cheap is a waste of money.

    In a dumping mood. I keep dumping stuff today that I don’t like. I hope I don’t end up regretting it.

    I have done tons of washing dishes and drudgery today. Even ironing. Kind of sad that I spend the last Saturday of the year doing drudge tasks. :o

    A NSD (renewing myself with them) I felt like nibbles and wine so I stayed in instead and ate a turkey salad that I didn’t enjoy much.

    I have stopped buying chocolate, not forever, just for now. A bar came through the post as part of a Christmas gift. The chocolate wasn’t great but it didn’t stop me from EATING THE WHOLE BAR.:eek:

    Tomorrow I have an exercise class and I need some veggies as I seem addicted to making turkey soup at the moment.:)

    Hope the last Saturday of 2017 is more exciting for you than it is for me :)

    New dress sounds good.
    I tend to wear purple for most funerals with a black jacket as of course purple is the ancient Scottish mourning colour.

    you have my sympathies. I've spent today driving my mum home. She's now in bed with the cold I got on boxing day. I've just eaten 4 pieces of toblerone that were in the fridge. I didn't even like it while I was eating it...

    Have a nice time dancing DIA. I always think this is probably a better form of exercise as its not formal exercise.

    Fingers crossed for the Cologne. Thats a fab saving.
