    Confession time again, I said no clothes till Easter . After m@s not delivering my sale shopping after them being ordered , I of course got a refund of £18. Fast forward to today , m@s outlet had what I had ordered online in the store , albeit £2 dearer each , somehow these things appeared in my hands and next thing I knew we were at the till. My size is not often available in this underwear range so I bought 4 . £11x4 = £44 -£18 =£26 . Then was in Trafford Centre to have my bracelet mended that was £15 , plus drinks for myself and DGS £4.20 . This money around £45 came out of the £90money for iPad . The rest has gone off CC2 .

    As SSG said I complained to M&S about how let down I was with the sale items , they offered me a£10 voucher of course I didn’t decline it.

    I am hoping no underwear will be needed this year.

    Not much planned for weekend.

    Well sometimes I think you’ve got to grab things while you can. I’m the same with M&S and sizing - so if I see something I will get a lot of wear out of and its in my size I’ll buy it. I’m also thinking of looking around on Marisota to see if they have any boots in the sale. They’re dropping in price and I could do with a new black pair to see winter out and take me into next winter.

    At least you paid off some of the CC! And well done on the voucher as well!:T

  • You'll get a lot of use out of them Cumbria so it sounded like a good buy to me. Comfortable underwear is very important. Have a good weekend :).

    I agree with others, I think it was a good idea to pick them up while you could.

    Well done on cc2 being so close to Zero!

    Having a ramble here now , need to do shopping list really.

    I am not one for New Year resolutions because I fail miserably. One of my worst traits is that I don’t like my routine being changed and sometimes turn down opportunities because say I haven’t done my housework etc. Yet I always think of myself as being spontaneous! .

    This year my aim is to be more flexible , like doing my ironing on a Saturday night as that is always a Sunday afternoon chore . Accepting a free trip to the theatre on a Friday later this month , when I have needed to change my childminding arrangements slightly.

    Ramble over , shopping list to be done.
