I always look out for closeout clothing sales as you can pick up some real bargains, and I mean real bargains. The last one I went to I came away with 15 items and I paid less than $20 for the lot! I really hope I will be able to find a nice swimming costume cheap as chips as I hate spending a lot of money on them.

Is it almost Cyber Monday yet please? It’s about time I got some serious shopping done – money has been pretty tight recently so I have not been treating myself at all and I am definitely feeling withdrawal symptoms now. So roll on cyber Monday when I can cure my urges without having to spend an absolute fortune to do so.

I love the lights in our new house, but the thing people don’t take into account when putting lights up is how much they are going to cost to run – the bulbs for the ones in the kitchen for example cost £5 each, and there’s 10 bulbs in there, are you kidding me? I’d rather have ugly lights with energy saving bulbs that you can pick up for 10p to be honest.
