I usually love sale shopping but I have no money sadly. I am normally up at 5am in the queue for the Next sale!
I've only looked at the sales online. I got a vintage gold purse with pink flamingo brooch adorning it, a beautiful butterfly necklace (vintage, of course!) and a stunning pair of 1950s silver drop earrings. All for £17! I draw the line at queueing at stupid o'clock to get into a shop. Lead headline in our local paper was people queuing at 3am for the next sale!
Same, although I just got paid - my lorry is my biggest financial problem this month, one of the major parts on it has gone, and it's going to cost an arm and a leg to get it on the road for next month (for Gems second vet visit/treatment).Nowt, I'm too poor atm
Have you seen anything you fancy?
I would love some white boots for D, and some woof wear smart event boots for when she starts jumping. She's also desperate for a saddle and matching bridle (she has a black bridle, I'm being fussy and I want a brown saddle as I think it'll suit her better).
Non-horsey wise, I have quite a clumpy watch and I'd love a nice fancy one to wear. I've seen a nice dkny one with mother of pearl inset into the face, but it's over £100 in the shops, and whilst I know it's 'cheap' for a decent watch, it's still a bit too pricey for me currently!
So, I just plan to live my life vicariously through you guys shopping away until I can afford it again (and will make up for lost time!)
I hate shopping and hate the sales even more.
Think i will give it a miss again this year

I was hoping to pick up a few more pairs of jeans as I've only got 1 good pair that I got as a Christmas pressie, the rest are a bit worn out! I couldn't see any but I did find a nice pair of PJs on the Next website (was actually looking for a onesie I saw) and a nice red blouse from River Island (also just a plain purple t-shirt as it was only £3 and I could do with some more tops for work)
I too hate shopping and I hate crowded shopping centres. Shan't won't can't make me.
I get quite ill in busy shops these days. Once went to Norwich between Christmas and New Year for a few nights. Wanted to look around the cathedral and Colemans Mustard museum. But it was so crowded everywhere with sales. There were some shops we walked past and folk were literally throwing stuff onto the floor!!

I dislike shopping at anytime but around Christmas and the NewYear even more so . I avoid the shops now 
Yep online too.. did a boots sale shop before work on Christmas eve and a white stuff one later that evening as i really liked a jumper they had but refused to pay full price for it... I can only just shut my wardrobe so i am not doing anymore sales shopping....and im getting ebaying instead...
Bought Neala a rug, myself some wellies and a new hat. Also got new parelli halter and ropes for neala and a neck ring. All in burgundy
@HorseHelen it appears you're not alone ... Although I can't understand the concept of disliking shopping, it really helps destress after a stressful time.
Mum has just purchased a 50" smart tv ... 350 off in the sale down to 300. Well ours has just gone pop today!
