Bargainous

I was fortunate enough to receive £100 for Christmas which I used to buy a coat. Yes, every single penny, and then some. It was, however, a marvellous bargain - reduced from £450 to £116. However, I was daft enough to believe that an online shop would actually send you what you ordered. I ordered a size 18, and when it arrived, I nearly cried, yes it was a lovely coat, and no doubt would have lasted me for years. In fact it would probably have lasted forever because I couldn't even get my arms in it. I did panic slightly thinking I'd put on far more weight over Christmas than I could have ever believed possible. Until I looked at the label on the coat - it was a size 10. The packaging and the receipt stated size 18, so I breathed a huge sigh of relief, but was a little bit miffed, that this marvellous coat, was not so marvellous after all.

So I went to the shop from which I ordered it, and replaced it. And I came out with about 20 items in it's place. Yes, one was a coat------->

But in addition to the coat I came out with 2 pairs of trousers, 2 dresses, 1 top, 2 pairs of thick tights and various other items that will be used to make presents/card throughout the year, and others that will be gifted. I paid an additional £8.93, so I consider this a marvellous result.

The theme for Christmas 2011 could be stationery.

I think tomorrow's post could be about the technicalities of blogging because there is lots I want to do, but I don't know how to do it. But the girl will learn..........
