Shopaholic? Me?

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.

We received a lovely gift of two cute matching baby-grows from a friend of ours. They are Mickey Mouse Disney wear. They are ever so cute. They were actually purchased from Euro Disney in France, which made me think of our last holiday there. We had such a great time. We think that perhaps next time we will consider some orlando vacations ie Disney World Florida and perhaps the surrounding area. Not sure when we will be able to do it, but I am going start dreaming of our next holiday!!! BLISS!!

Can you believe it… woolies is back!!

Ok! It is only available online and not quite as good as it used to be… but its back.

They have a limited selection but they do have entertainment items, Ladybird clothing and toys!

So I am off to test them… and will let you know how it goes!

My brother is studying dentistry and is at the point of doing a hard exam. Well I guess any exam in dentistry must be hard but this might be harder than most. I was thinking of getting him a present but was not sure what to get him. Although he probably has lab coats galore, he could possibly do with another. Alternatively I suppose I could get him a book voucher because I am sure that his books cost a small fortune. I suppose though, as it is a gift of encouragement, perhaps a music store voucher might make better sense. Mind you, when I was at uni, I use to party away the stresses of it all!!

As you probably realise from reading my blog, that I am obviously pregnant. I am actually having twins which is great especially when it comes to shopping.  However I am meant to be putting on so much weight every week and I am not. Not sure that I am going to complain about it because I know that it is far better than any of the best weight loss pills post babies being born but it leaves me worrying about the babies and if they are gaining enough weight. I keep toying with buying some pre-mature baby clothes, but then I would rather hope they are born full weight and size. Anyway fingers crossed.

I bought my son some school wear from M&S as they were on a buy 3 get 1 free offer, which I thought was good. Except this week Tesco and Asda were really out doing themselves. They had a school wear offer of £15.00 for a bundle of stuff including things like

• A pair of shoes
• Socks
• Polo Shirts
• A couple of Pairs of Trousers or Skirts
• A Jacket

The jacket alone from Tesco normally retails at £12.00. Needless to say, I thought it was an amazing offer. Hopefully they will offer it again next year and I will look out for it! I suppose they do say hind sight is 20/20. Perhaps we need a school alert system which alerts parents of these great offers that are available or will be available. Meanwhile, I will try to keep on top of things and advise you of offers as soon as I find out about them.

Sometimes being pregnant can be a bit of a nightmare. I am sort of off shopping. You would think it would be a perfect excuse to shop, shop and shop. But no… I can barely be bothered to even get my maternity bag packed, let alone shop for the contents! I am feeling big and fat and none of my nice clothes fit!!

All I can think about is hoping that all the baby gift baskets that arrive will cover all my needs and hopefully they will contain some zyatonix, to help me fit back into my pre-pregnancy clothes!

Probably its just my hormones. I probably want to hit the shops tomorrow, just to get over these blues!!! C’est la vie!

To cut out all this gloom and doom, I think I am going to treat myself to some sexy lingerie. I mean if I waited around to have some lingerie given to me… then I have to wait for Valentine’s. The only problem is finding maternity sexy lingerie does not seem to be that easy!! I must have a good mooch around and hopefully come up with something fab!
