    Hiya Maria, I hope you're well hun?

    I enjoyed Made of Honour, i wouldn't say its worth buying, but def worth renting out! A typical girly flick.

    I used to be like that Maria, get the points, then spend them. Now i'm trying my best to save them all up, and buy something big at the end of it.

    Pizza was yummy, now just watching X Factor whilst i hunt around for deals online!

    Also forgot to say i used 2 pinkies in boots and got 2 packs of No7 wipes, i love these, but not prepared to pay £6.50 for them, £1.50 is more like it lol. Some very kind gentleman in the shop also gave me 2 pinkies he didn't want. I have 2 left, so may buy some more wipes before the offer runs out on the 8th Nov.

    I know Maria, he was such a nice man giving them away.

    I have just spent £15 on The Body Shop website. I bought Hemp Perfect Perfection gift set for my mummy as an extra little crimbo gift. It was priced at £20 but i searched around on here and found a £5 off code :j

    I will be getting all my crimbo presents whilst i'm in America over Crimbo, but i'm getting all my family a gift to open from me and my OH for Christmas morning.

    Still waiting on a £10 Arcadia voucher from ShopandScan, hopefully that should be here next week, and waiting on £10 voucher from Pigsback, which again, should hopefully be here next week. I will be using both vouchers to use against crimbo gifts.

    So far, i have 2 gifts for my gorgeous niece. A very fancy VTech Winni the Pooh laptop i picked up in the summer sales from the boots website, it was priced at £29.99 but i got it for £7.50, well i think it was £7.50. Then today got her a Disney Princess Go Glow Time night light for £20. This was in the 3 4 2 offer today.

    Just got my mum The Hemp gift set, i love hemp, so may just get one for myself, it works wonders on your hands and feet.

    I also have lots of other bits i bought in January from Boots that were in the 75% off sale after Christmas, not sure who will get those bits yet, if anybody.

    Right, now sure what to do. I wanted some Uggs a couple of weeks ago, but decided to wait until the end of the month to get them. Unfortunately doing this i missed the 30% off offer on the shudoo website. I've had a little look around and cannot see anymore codes, and it looks like there won't be another till the 19th November. However, i have just seen USC have a 25% offer code available to buy the Uggs, but it would mean i would have to pay £12.50 more than what i would of done on Shudoo. Do i go and buy them from USC and pay the extra, or do i wait a few weeks and hope another shudoo code comes out and buy them for £100? i just run the risk of a code not coming out, and then missing USC code. I wouldn't normally care, but these short Uggs cost £140 in the shops, so its a lot of money.

    Hmmmmm. Decisions decisions.

    I was stupid last night, forgot to go thru Quidco or Pigsback when i ordered the gift set from The Body Shop, hey ho, i must remember for next time.

    Today will be a quiet one, i need to finish my packing for holiday tomorrow to LAS VEGAS, and i'm going to watch the Grand Prix, come on Hamilton.

    Thanks Babes xxx
    Just ordered my Ugg boots from USC - in total they cost me £112.50 :eek: but def worth it. Hopefully they will be here when i get back :j

    I will try and limit my spending in America, hopefully then i can come back with a few hundred pounds spare.

    Just worked out my finances for Noevmeber, once all my direct debits have come out to pay off some debts, i will have £350 spare in my account to do with as i wish. Obviosuly, i will chuck some of this at the debt at the end of November if i've not used it. I'd chuck it at the debt now, but you never know what emergencies may arise, so i'd rather wait, just in case.
