Shopaholic? Me?

Happy New Year to you all.

May this year be filled full of lots of bargains and hopefully I can guide you to some excellent ones too!

Yay! It’s boxing day which means the start of sales… time to hit the shops and the best bit you can do it all from your laptop while watching a nice classic movie!

Here is to hoping that you have a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from Shopaholic!

We have just returned back from holiday and the weather is miserable. It’s wet, damp, and windy! It is time to store away those swimming things and pop off to buy some womens Boots for me and wellies for the kids. Oh and Jackets to Boot!  (Hope that is not too cliche!)

I cannot believe that summer is practically over and it is back to the daily grime!

Superstitous anyone?

Generally I always found Friday the 13th particularly lucky. Maybe it is just the way I see things but it is good I guess. The mentality of glass half full or empty.

Examples:-

•  I had a dentist appointment on Friday the 13th as a kid, and my thought was, “It did not hurt so it must be my lucky not unlucky day”.
• I had an exam and thought “that was easy so it must be lucky not unlucky”
• I won on the lottery today (it was 60p more than the cost of the ticket but hey I won).

So… is it lucky or unlucky? Glass half full or empty?

Hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day. And to all Mothers - Happy Mother’s Day. May your little treasure bring you little treasures.

I told you that this year I had something planned rather than a gift for my hubby. And this is what I planned…

I started by preparing a home made card with the kids, planning a great meal with a fantastic dessert to be served with dimmed pendant lighting or candle light followed by a romantic DVD and some adult time.

But that was the planning… this is the reality…. I woke up with my back out and I could not do anything. No dinner. No Romance. Hubby did not want to watch DVD and No adult time! Bleh!

I do hope that 2011 brings some real customer service and that common sense becomes a tad more common….

Have a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope Santa got you what you wanted. If not, remember sales start tomorrow!!

My son can be so funny sometimes.. he overheard a friend of mine and I speaking about itching, allergies and allergy treatment austin and when I told him not to interupt prompt said, “but Mummy I am itchy all over” and proceeded to start scratching away. Needless to say a quick dose on his DS (what he originally wanted) cured him within 2 seconds. Now if only it were that easy to treat allergies and other illnesses!
