I've ordered LOADS of shoes from Amazon!!! And a TV (not from there.) Also stuff from Next - more shoes and other stuff.

Not doing sales...no money, have got to pay towards new heating upfront, got the invoice the other day
That was timing!

I'm unable to resist Habitat but they usually have odds and ends reduced anyway, so I'm not going to get anything much - we don't need anything anyway.

have got to pay off overdraft!!

IllegallyBrunette · 31/12/2008 16:21

Andthentherewerethree · 31/12/2008 16:24

dh brought a new tv, even though w only just brought one a few months ago, but apparently it was a bargain.

I shopped til i dropped in the boden sale beofre christmas and brought a lovely bag for myself, 2 skirts and a dress, but far too much for the dc.

Monsoon online again too much for dd, and not a lot for myself and m&s broguht lots of lovely stuff and dh moaning as bag he brought me for christmas was half price now.

Heated · 31/12/2008 16:27

Spent a fair bit in mini mode & boden for the dcs & am awaiting some converse trainers for me.

janeite · 31/12/2008 18:08

I went into town today and was very underwhelmed. I bought a skirt in Gap for £15 and a silk top for £10, plus a skirt in M&S for £12 and that was it. I'd hoped to get some makeup in Selfridges but nothing was on offer. Monsoon, Top Shop (for dd1) and Zara (for dd2) all looked like jumble sales.

I looked for Vivienne Westwood stuff in Selfridges and they had only got one pair of hideous trousers that looked like jodhpurs.

I tried a couple of things on in Whistles (a lovely short jacket for £35) but they all made me look too norky.

LadySweet · 31/12/2008 18:21

I bought lots of nice clothes for my boy and a duvet and some pillows for me

LadySweet · 31/12/2008 18:22

just realised I am in style and beauty, sorry for the mispost about duvets
