Aw bless! I'm really tight when it comes to money (most of the time) so I'm someone who won't spend more than is necessary, maybe a bit of a humbug? who knows! I try to give homemade pressies/what people have asked for most of the time anyway though :p You sound a bit like my Nan, she's always buying stuff she doesn't need and has nowhere to put for Christmas lol x
 
I wish I was more like you! I always go out to meet my friend for a coffee and spend at least £50 on some sort of clothing or shoes! And my daughter (who is 3!!!) has 5 whole wardrobes of clothes! Think I may have a problem :/ I love shopping! I hope you enjoyed your shopping today hazel & the nativity! It was Daisy's today at nursery but she won't be in it until next year when she's in preschool! I loved them! I was once Mary and had no lines and dropped ***** but I was very proud of myself! Xxx

Shouldn't be allowed out at times. I did well today though :) I bought myself thick black tights (to go with my dress) a pair of black leggings and a onesie for a present and a baby outfit for a girl at work who's just had a baby. That's it, quite proud of myself lol. Mind you, time was against me because once the Nativity finished, I raced into town but had to get back for Ross coming home from school, otherwise, who knows what damage I could have done!!! xx

I thought I was bad!! lol. I had another clearout today, I got rid of jumpers, cardigans & blouses that are too big for me. There is now plenty of space in the wardrobe for new clothes. I had just over 3/4 of the wardrobe and Hubby had the rest poor soul lol.
I still have to sort out my trousers but I will leave that til next week. Then there's my jackets & coats. At this rate, I'll have nothing left to wear!!
The Nativity is emotional. Once your daughter takes part, there will be no stopping the tears. Your heart will feel like it's going to burst out of your chest and you feel like the proudest Mum on the planet. Don't say you haven't been warned!! xx

Had a very productive morning :) I finished off a chocolate wreath which I was asked to do for young kids. I made it from roses but left out the nutty ones. I put santa lights round it too and golden bells in the middle. I was really chuffed with it. I didn't manage to get a photo as my phone had ran out of battery and I had to run to work. I've asked the girl at work to take a photo and pass it on to me.

Had a dodgy tummy today, so I've drank plenty of fluids and I got home early as someone stayed on to cover my shift. The pain was excruciating. I feel better tonight, the pain has gone as has the nauseous feeling but I still have a very rumbly tummy.
Im not going to bother updating today as I've had bits and pieces, didnt feel like eating a large meal so I nibbled most of the day. Tomorrow I promised the wee fella we will all go to Frankie & Bennys so hopefully I'll feel better for that.
I forgot to post a picture of me in my dress. Here it isimage-4003155435.jpgI really need to get some fake tan on and tone my upper arms!!

Eeek! Sorry to hear that, really glad you're feeling a bit better! Enjoy the frankies and bennies, hope the service is better than the F+B's where I live, haha :)

You look gorgeous! The dress is lovely and the style really suits you! :)

Thank you Libby. I never wear dresses, so it's unusual for me to wear one and I never thought I would wear that style!
The Frankie & Bennys round our way has not long opened and the staff seem really keen, so hopefully they are still just as keen lol.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend xx
