Not sure how organised you are but I am not. I really must get round and order my uniforms for my son before school actually starts and take advantage of their free delivery too. Must go and shop.
I think I might suffer from OCD – obsessive compulsive disorder or something almost as severe. I know that I am a shopaholic in need of help because I was actually considering buying wholesale clothes. I came across a lot of 118 pieces of womens jeans by Diesel and Bebe. Each pair retails between $100 and $250. The lot was on auction at $325 which is approximately 2 pairs. That would however leave me with another er 116 pairs. And although I would be making a saving as the site told me the RRP is $16,600 and I could sell the excess on ebay… I started to realise just how deep I was in. Perhaps I need to get myself some help… or even just hand back my VISA to my hubby!
I saw these coogi shorts and had these thoughts…..
The slim teenager in me says “wow“. The mother in me says “if I ever catch my daughter wearing that…” The wife in me says “were you looking?” The fat slob in me says “not in a million years“ The wishfulness in me says “if I were a teenager again“ The shopaholic in me says “how much please?”
The question is what do you think?
I recently placed a pretty big order from Debenhams. Overall I was pretty pleased with it all.
I received my order in 3 separate packages within a couple of days. All were nicely packed too. And I only had one delivery charge and it was the same for the Isle of Man as it is for the UK and at £3.95, I dare say it is very reasonable. The clothes are lovely (though a tad on the pricey side) especially if for a wedding or special occasion. And I had no problems with my order whatsoever. Fantastic.
My only gripe, I placed the order the day before the sales started. I really nearly considered cancelling my order and re-ordering as the saving would have been pretty big, but it had been already dispatched and I did want it fast. Talking of fast, they do not do express delivery but they do actually deliver in a very short space of time approx 3-4 days.
Enjoy their Blue Cross Sale!
One of the best side effects of diet pills, dieting and losing weight is the need to buy a new wardrobe (unless you yo-yo diet and then have a wardrobe full of different size clothes). I used to be a huge size 24 and slowly (and I mean slowly) have slimmed down to a size 16 verging on a 14.
I was so unused to having lost weight and afraid that I would put it back on because I was destined to be fat forever, that I refused to give away any of my “fat” clothes, especially when I got pregnant. However 2 pregnancies later and I have mantained my weight. It is only recently that I have been giving them away as they have lain unworn for a few years now except for my last trimester in both pregnancies. It did save me buying lots of maternity clothes that would hardly get used.
But I still have not found that push I need to move down to a size 14. As a 16 tends to be baggy and a 14 too tight, I am in a huge shopping dilema… and I end up not buying. And this is sad, especially as Debenham’s have an up to 70% off sale!
I was pretending to clear out my wardrobe. I must say pretending because I like the clothes I bought. If I didn’t, I would not have bought them in the first place. But considering that I was a size 22-24 and I am now a 16, it makes them rather large. I want to buy more stuff but a size 16 is not my target size. So I need to get motivated to lose that little bit more but I cannot. Perhaps if I went on a 7 day fat burner extreme and I lost a little weight, then I just might get my motivation. Maybe next week!!
One of the things I need to get myself in preparation for my new job is an insurance quote because this is definately not an area where I want to even consider not being protected. You are playing around with issues which are far too sensitive and is so easy to open a can of worms. I guess what I need is indemnity insurance. I wonder if the best place to get it would be through a professional society or just going direct to an insurance agency?
Wouldn’t it great if I could make a living from shopping. Ok know there are shopping consultants but I don’t think I have enough shopping experience to be one. Yes, I can admit that. And besides you would need to have the contacts (ie people with enough cash to pay you to shop – and if you have enough cash, why not shop yourself?)
Nor do I think I could be like Trinny & Susannah. Besides having a touch of public speaking anxiety, I would hate to publicly make a fool of myself like they do. And personally I have seen them do some atrocious things (like their own dress sense). Imagine being constantly examined because you berated others on TV!
My son goes horse riding and loves it. However, it is not a cheap hobby to say the least. As he is still young and grows like a wild flower, I am always wary about buying expensive clothing. I did think about buying some breeches though I think I might prefer to start with a helmet. However his teacher must be used to kids, so she recommends that for now he uses a cycling helmet as that offers the same protection. I think it is really great that she is practical and in due course I will buy him whatever he needs, but meanwhile I will stick to practical stuff like a cycling helmet and wellies!
Personally, I have never been a fan off Ugg Boots. I find that within next to no time people seem to be walking on the side of their shoes rather than the sole of the boot. But then again, maybe that is all the fakes on the street. However, their latest product the UGG Cardy is cute and it comes in a wide range of colours which are really great. Yes, perhaps I am won over by the fact they do them in pink, but they also do them in Purple, Indigo, Blue etc etc. I actually think they are stylish too.
