Payday purchases!

Posted by Cheryl at 18:35
Yesterday was pay day for me, hurray finally! I also had some really nice leaving drinks at work-I was expecting no one to come so when almost everyone turned up I was pleasantly surprised. It shows that you sometimes just need to have a little faith! Next week is my last week at work and it is going to be mega busy what with sports day, my last day in nursery, leaving party at work etc. I am looking forward to it but I feel so run down (as does Michael) and we really can't wait for 6 weeks of relaxing and having some fun. 

 This weekend I have done some shopping with a little of my pay (after paying the rent, putting £150 into my savings, paying council tax, TV licence, bills etc!). I make enough to get myself a few treats each month. In the days leading up to being paid I always bookmark things to buy and often I will get a lot of things from Ebay because you can get some amazing bargains as long as you are careful with who you buy from. I want to get this beautiful clock necklace I found on Ebay, it is about £6 and I love the vintage style-plus I love clocks! It's quite cute isn't it?

Today I went shopping in Kingston and bought this lovely pink dress from New Look. I was looking for something to wear on holiday for our anniversary and I thought this is simple but cute plus I don't normally wear pink so it's nice to be a little different. It was £14 from £28. Their sale is really good right now, there are so many things I liked I had to restrict myself to one thing!


To continue my obsession with clocks, I also got rather over-excited when I found this new range of stationery in Wilkinsons (such a good shop!)-clocks everywhere! I got a notebook to use for story ideas (time travel theme!) as well as a pen and folder my bought for me. I also got some cute pink headphones for my Ipod and some FUDGE SUNDAE poptarts. I adore poptarts but get bored with the plain flavours that supermarkets sell. I found a little newsagent selling unusual flavours like these, they are American imports but for £3.79 for 8 I think they're great value.


I also bought myself some DVDs online including Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre so I can have a bit of a Bronte film fest over the summer. Also I bought a film I have been meaning to get for a while called 'The Help', I have heard it's great so I can't wait to watch it.


I also got a nice package this morning with some gifts from Vietnam bought by my Dad. I look forward to using the bag this summer...a girl can never have too many!


I will no doubt buy a few more things over the coming weeks but I really need to start putting some aside for holiday spending money! I am off to have a nice bath, eat dinner and watch a film...I love Saturday nights! Take care all xoxo

I read the novel The Help as well as saw the film. It seems like something you'd like, a very good story all around! Although I hate Emma Stone, I didnt mind her in the lead role. Let me know what you think about it.
PS I love your dress!
