Yes I will spend a £10 gift voucher wisely thanks Johnnie

So I didn't succumb to the No Added Sugar sale, yay me etc ;)
But I did get a £10 gift voucher from Boden in the post, and I spent it wisely and didn't use it as an excuse to buy stuff that would be more affordable with £10 off, which I'm certain is their marketing strategy behind the giveaway.

I bought a top for DD1 which was £7.00 and free P+P thanks to another code, so that would be a totally free garment, huzzah!

Only a short post but a positive one for a change, which is nice :)

Back from the brink

I nearly slipped back into old habits last night, was in a grump with DH (he'd likened me to his mother...not a good move!) and so was sulking in front of my PC. I found myself browsing the New Look website and idly popped a few maternity items into my basket, to be fair to me I do need some maternity jeans urgently...but there I was looking at £80 worth of clothes on a website that takes paypal . I actually hit the checkout button and went to paypal to pay for the garments, I wish I could tell you that I pulled myself back from the brink and cancelled the transaction. Nope, I cancelled the transaction because I don't have a debit card linked to paypal anymore and the New Look website wants instant payment via a card funded paypal transaction. I actually sat there and tried to figure out how to put my debit card details up there without DH noticing that £80 was missing from our current account and that I was wearing a lovely new cardigan ( grey wool with lilac velvet bow det...

Naked

Who are you? How do you define yourself? Right now I feel vulnerable and flimsy, I've just cut myself off from two of my most abused shopping options. Amazon have a great time saving option called "one click" ordering, you simply ask the site to remember your address and payment details and then you can order anything with one click. This is a very bad thing if you are an impulse driven instant gratification shopper, ie me! I love Amazon, they stock many of my favourite disparate things : Le Creuset pans, Estee Lauder moisturiser and the more obvious books and dvds, but tonight I cut myself off. I have deleted my credit card details from the one click system and as I'm not physically in posession of a credit card I can't re-enter them in a weak moment. Paypal is my other nemesis, send money to etsy vendors at the drop of a hat, oooh yes please! Buy things drunkenly from ebay late at night mmmmmmm that's me. Well not anymore it isn't, I have deleted my cred...

Smuggery

Progress! I have organised collection of bedside drawers (monday) I have returned top to M+S ( bought 10 days ago, worn once then shrank in the wash) I resisted exchanging top for something of similar value. I looked at M+S sale and was resolute against the lure of the children's wear section. I picked up tights £3, socks £2, top £4 and dressing gown £3 all for my 3 yo DD but put them all back as she doesn't NEED any of those things right now. So £153 worth of things will be credited to the bank account and I didn't spend £12 on unnecessary items. Awesome work, go me, I officially ROCK! I was a bit wobbly after leaving the shop so had to ring DH to tell him how strong I was being..which probably means I'm not that strong yet, but hey ho it's a good start don't you think?
