  • I might make tomato soup today now too.:)

    I tried to have a nice bath with some of my new bubble bath and I stepped in and it was far too cold. I'm not sure what happened! I got out very quickly.:p

    I'm trying the Vicks and socks thing today. I will have to put on my boots when the delivery driver gets here as I'm wearing huge white fluffy socks and it probably looks weird with an all black outfit on!

    I did get some scented candles as they were two for the price of three. I was thinking about getting a full length mirror in the Black Friday sales.

    :eek::rotfl: Duh, I meant three for the price of two! I was distracted looking for Black Friday deals and then realised it was Thursday today.:o:D

    I'm a bit off my game today, I can't even run a bath properly.:p

    following with interest :)
    I've just put that reflective foil on a roll stuff behind my radiators, hoping it may help a bit.
    I make a lovely soup- sweat off onions, add red lentils, water and a stock cube, cook then blitz- a few lentils goes a long way!
  • If anyone is a Clark3 fan they have 25% off ALL shoes and boots. I got £28 off boots I was planning to buy anyway today :)

    Someone very Kindly posted that Deiciem have a little Black Friday sale and Ive just ordered my skin care for £2 instead of the usual £6
  • I had a pair of boots from Clarks that I wore to death - I loved them but Clarks stopped making them. Found out last week they are back in stock - I was so happy!

    Even happier today when I got 25% off so they were £89 instead of £119 :D
  • Well I'm all packed.....banking done, all bills paid and paperwork up to date, euros bought. Just need to sort out some jewellery and my make up........I don't take my "good" jewellery on holiday, just the costume stuff and I don't take my entire make up stash.

    Managed to buy a couple of really nice strapless bras from M&S. They actually give me a decent cleavage (oooh la la) much better than my last strapless bra which just flattened everything. :rotfl:

    So I'm all set. Plumber is coming tomorrow to get a head start so I'll nip to Aldi's and the chemists and get out of his way. I can't find my travel bands, earplugs and seasick tablets so I need to buy some tomorrow. I refuse to buy them onboard and pay over the odds.

    I've obviously put them in a safe place and I'll probably find them at some point :rotfl: Then I just need to clean out the fridge, there's not much left in there and that's it, job done

    Let the champagne on a budget holiday begin........:D

    And then, when I get back on 8th December, the festive season will be upon us.......

    Stay well, keep warm and keep enjoying those champagne moments.
