AIBU?

To have just done something very, very bad?

I might have spent a small fortune on jumpers on our Next account (the one I only supposed to use for emergencies)

It is an emergency imo. It was so damn cold at work today. If we had a union they'd have close the place down. The door does not shut properly and blows open in the wind. The heating does not work properly. The window is old and rotten, single pane, with one bit broken, so it won't close. It is as cold inside as it is outside.

It is uncomfortable to work with my coat on.

I know it won't be until December when my boss finally brings the 'big' heater out. I can't take another winter in there last year. I can't. I'll cry.

So I've ordered jumpers, hoodies and thermal tops as an emergency.

and some christmas bedding for the dc but we won't talk about that

I should cancel it shouldn't I?



We can afford it, just not all at once. I'd have to buy it all bit by bit and be cold until December.

An emergency is buying a cheap warm jumper.. buying several is not an emergency.

If you can afford them, fine. However, if you cannot afford them and are getting into debt, one or two would suffice!

I already did that bees, when I got to the check out page and realised I might have gone a bit too far. I put back two jumpers, a coat and some snow boots, since it doesn't really snow inside work I decided some bed socks from Tesco under my regular boots would suffice.

We can afford it, I just possibly didn't need all 6 of them. The coat (the one I kept) I need.

YANBU, this is what credit is for IMO!

Incidentally, Asda sells really good (and not excessively frumpy) thermal underwear.

You are not the poster who overspent and husband gave her a gentle slap but overspent again and was afraid to tell him, are you? The one who used her young daughter name to get a credit card?

Oooh.

Do Asda do accounts?

I might pop down when my mum goes in her car. Asda is very far away and we have hurricanes i.e half an hour away and a it's a wee bit windy

No, mynewpassion, that wasn't me. I'm not quite that bad. The credit is in the dog's name Wink

From the OP I thought this was going to be a bit pornographic in content! Grin

Put bubble wrap over the window, and put a big velvet curtain (charity shop?) over the door.

what is christmas bedding? Duvets with santa on, sheets you only use at christmas? I need to know before i can judge

I don't think my boss would be very happy if I started bubble wrapping the shop up Grin

I might try that in my bathroom though. We have a pointless air brick that freezes me half to death each winter.

There should be shouldn't there Shakey? My boss is not great at spending money but I love my job. I don't want to leave or be pushed out for making complaints. It's a small, family business, so no one higher up to complain to.

Tape a strip around the edge then :o

And prime some local mners to come in as customers and complain about the cold!

Not bad, but i dont ever find the the quality that good. I bought some of the lace sweaters for £20 thinking that was a good price. Then I saw the exact same one in primark for £8!

Does a Christmas duvet cover mean I don't have to change the sheets all December?

YES

I'm on my phone. Back at work in the cold, so I can't link but they are in with the children's bedding.

They're very fun. Overpriced probably, but fun.

Jumpers are fine but christmas bedding Hmm

In my defence we did discuss and agree on the bedding when the kids asked for it we didn't discuss how we were paying but we agreed on buying it
