Default Who's Been To The Sales Then?

ME

OH and I had a night off so when the kids were collected at lunchtime, we drove to Glasgow, booked into our hotel, and hit the shops. We had 4 lovely hours of child-free shopping I got some lovely new tops, jeans, trousers, and a dress. OH got a couple of things but in usual bloke style, his bags contained an ADSL filter, a DVD player and a new phone extension It's official, he now has enough cables to reach Aus and back

We then had a cocktail in TGI's then back to the hotel for showers before meeting mates in town for dinner.

What a fab day out

Going back to Glasgow for a "ladies" only lunch and might indulge in just a little more retail therapy before I come back.

So, did any of you grab any realyl good bargains in the sales?

Well done you! I splashed out on a FABULLLLOUS pair of black Hobbs shoes and a pure new wool medium weight formal coat - both just right for work and Melbourne winters!

I normally don't buy a thing but I had this 'Go on, go on' mantra going on in my head and there I was at the checkout!

Sounding like an utter snob....I bought stuff I really wanted in Next days before christmas as sales (especially Next) never work for me. In the sales, I always find the size 28 trousers in fuschia, made for the individual with a left left substantially shorter than the right leg and not much else.

I did think at the time, why am I buying this stuff at full price but the thought of the masses, the trawling through etc I thought what the hell.

Mr BB might need to take out a second job..eek!
