I need to go to the store at the weekend and get some stainless steel drums for the new garden, we need them before we move in and we move in on Monday - oops. Been meaning to get some for ages but with so many other things to prepare it’s hard to remember every thing isn’t it? We will definitely go on Saturday though.

I was really unwell on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, but had a birthday shopping trip planned for today and it was today or never basically — so I decided to go for it. Thankfully I did not feel unwell at all while I was out, I felt fine and dandy, but I had to get up early so I have only had 3 hours sleep and we were out shopping for almost six hours.

I am absolutely wiped out now. Just doing a little blogging and then I am going to head to bed for a lovely early night

Looks like I am going to end up with a whole bunch of gift cards for my favourite stores for my upcoming birthday, I went shopping today to get some goodies and came home empty handed — Now I have freaked out family left and right asking me what on earth they are meant to get me then!

Eeep, I can’t help it if there’s nothing I really want at the moment.

I’d rather have gift cards that I can spend in the future than have them waste money on something I don’t want or need.

I am really glad that I did go shopping the other day even though I didn’t really feel like it, I got some nice stuff at bargain prices — and because I was in a rush and not really wanting to spend ages, I made snap decisions which is not something I usually do — I usually think for ages about if I want something or not!

I got a nice hoodie, 2 sports bras, some jogging pants and some frilly underwear. Yay

I have to go shopping tomorrow and I don’t want to. This never happens, I always want to go shopping, always.

I have not been well all week and I still don’t feel 100% so I would rather just stay lounging around the house to be honest — I don’t have any money to spend on any thing for me any way so it’s not going to be much fun.

But I need to get some Valentines day gifts — a card for my fiance and a card and gift for someone else.

It’s not how it sounds, there are no romantic intentions there — it’s just as part of a ‘Secret Cupid’ type thing we do.

Oh well, hopefully I can get what I need quickly and then head straight home

You know you have perhaps splurged and bought too many pairs of shoes when this is the size of the parcel that shows up a few days later. Oopsie.

I love them all though, although the pair I love the most are too big for me

I have not updated for a few days, wanna know why?

I have not watched any TV since the weekend. Oi, how atrocious of me to not watch TV when I am trying to run a TV opinions blog! What can I say, I have been a busy bunny — spending time with my fiance, going to the cinema and doing one of my favourite things…shopping shopping shopping.

I have a whole world of shows to catch up with though, all my UK soaps and American reality. I have no plans over the weekend, so I am going to get busy then and you can expect lots of opinions winging their way to you.

To say I am a fan of bargain hunting would be an understatement, I spend a good portion of my online time doing it. In fact come this time of year all of my family basically hand me a list of Christmas gifts they need to buy, and I get busy doing all of their shopping for them — I am a bargain hunter because I hate spending money but love shopping — so being able to shop til I drop without having to spend any of my own money is a dream

One site I use heavily to help me with this is UK Bargains, a site dedicated to providing tips, tricks, cashback offers and killer bargains in the UK. UK-Bargains.net covers every thing from money off vouchers and free delivery codes, to how to get free credit for your mobile phone, how to get the most out of your online shopping thanks to cash back sites like Quidco and TopCashBack, free cinema screenings thanks to SeeFilmFirst and so much more.

In the last week alone they have posted vouchers for free delivery and a whopping 20% off at Nike Store, Debenhams and Dorothy Perkins!

With the Christmas shopping to get done, it’s a must visit for every one
