I was over the moon with the gifts and money (£130) received and was very impressed that everyone had taken the time to actually take notice of the link to the blog post of my wish list, I had emailed them, as I got a few things I really wanted, the Liz Earle Cleanser, The Jamie Oliver 30 minute meals recipe book, the M&S sturdy slippers with grippy sole which will stop me from falling flat on my backside on the decking which I have already done twice this year and some Lancome make-up goodies, along with new knitted Ugg boots and a tidy amount of cash and way too much chocolate!
I have decided that I am going to hold on to the money to spend in the January Sales, so all I need to do now is think about what is missing from my wardrobe and try and fill the gaps with some bargain buys and beat the rise in the cost of living and the VAT increase with a few things that will see me through to Spring in Style.
Then there was even more excitement today when my shoe boots arrived! They are by "Head over Heels" as seen in my previous post, so you can guess what I shall be wearing to Little Mans end of term production tomorrow morning!
If you had £130 to spend in the sales, what would you buy?
Your new shoes are lovely, very chic. What are the gaps in your wardrobe? I might spend £130 on some nice blouses because I don't own many, or a smart pair of flat knee boots - but if you own those things then that isn't much help!
ReplyDeleteHi my dear-so pleased you received such lovely gifts, especially when they were much wanted too, love your boots they look great! So pleased too your family are doing well and I think if I had that money to spend, I'd go for a nice jacket or blazer in a neutral colour. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week xx
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy belated birthday, my friend!! What lovely gifts (and those shoes are awesome!). If I had the money to spend....hmmmm. Can't think of anything particular but I'm sure I'd find something! Have fun spending - you'll make beautiful selections I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous presents and I love your new shoes! My mum's birthday was on the 13th of December and my dad's is on the 14th. It's a pain having a Birthday so near Christmas - mine's on the 22nd Jan when everyone's skint.
ReplyDeleteI bought my dad the Ugg slippers and he loves them to bits. They are so comfortable. I've just bought myself a new pair of Uggs on Ebay, can't wait for them to turn up.
The film I was talking about on my blog - The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is showing a lot on Sky channel Christmas 24 and 24+ which are on 327 and 328, have a look it's on again this Saturday at 9am and 6pm. I found it a good one to watch, so many of them are terrible.
I hope you have a lovely Christmas and I'm so glad your mum's out of hospital. C xx
Such lovely Bday pressies especially your mum coming out of hospital and your daughters amazing achievement.I love birthdays! Hope you gte some great godies in the sales.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've had a lovely birthday and I'm so glad your mum is on the mend and able to spend Christmas at home. I would probably spend the money on some boots (I always used to buy a pair in the Faith January sales) and dress if the sales are that good!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you had an awesome birthday and it is good to get what you want and not a load of old rubbish I have been hinting on my blog :))). If I had £130 I would hope that the Michael Kors mongolian sheepskin vest went 50% off and I would add an extra £20 and get that xoxo
ReplyDeleteVery happy belated birthday!! I'd splash out on a pair of red heels. Have a thing for red shoes at the moment... MMxx
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday - glad you had a good one xx
ReplyDeleteHi, happy belated birthday. Am a new follower of your blog. Mmm - I would love a snug fake fur coat that looks good on a 5ft tall me.
ReplyDeleteStyle of a Fashionista - I am liking the sound of the Vest - its not online is it, I've looked.
ReplyDeleteValerie - thanks for following!
HAUL!!! Glad to see the list post payed off! I have about £200 to spend in the sales but for once there is nothing I am watching like a hawk to be reduced! I did want a pair of black ankle boots but I got some already last week in ASOS flash sale for half price. So no I am hanging on to the money incase I see something fabulous in the sales, if not it is going on a pair of Chanel earrings I have had my eye on. Oh actually I do also want a pair of black wide leg trousers but they can be cheapo ones! x
