It is summer time in UK and one thing that I miss doing is shopping in car boot ;) In Car boot sale you can find anything even a plasma mounts in a very good price if you will rummage and bargain the seller. Now because we don't have it here we now appreciate the things that we found over there before. But when we we're there there was a lot of things or most of it that we bought that only ended up in the bin. Oh life!

SALE Again
It is midyear sale here in Oz. But you know what? Since May which is the month that I arrived, I only bought a bag. What I want now is to save money. Is it me??? Well, I want to back home to Philippines and I want to save money for our fare. But it doesn't mean that I will not buy for myself, I will still shop but minimized to what I need rather than what I want and hurray for that.
It is Sale Everywhere
As expected all shops are doing sale after Christmas. It is a great time to shop again for presents for next holiday season. But as expected we don't do it this way. We always buy things on sale that are not needed because the price is so cheap. Anyway, have you done your post Christmas shopping? I've been to town center twice already and mind you I bought tops, dresses, skirts for me and my girls and all are half price or 70% off. Right now I am looking for a new digital camera online, I believe that it is the best time to get one because everybody are knocking down their price and one site that's sells the best price is www.Buy.com.
I Love Shoes
Oh how I love shoes! And I have about more than 30 pairs that is usable and in a very good condition but I can't really understand why I cannot stop myself falling in love and ended up buying when I see a nice pair. But I think it's just normal being a girl. Or am I just justifying myself here...LOL. If you are like me who love shoes. Check Beautifeel. They have a wide range of dressy comfort shoes and sandals in very affordable price.
Are You Looking For A Promotional Product?
Years ago when we we're still in Philippines. We used to own a grocery shop. Not big but enough to pay the helpers, bills and anything that we need. During that time I was already working in one of the government hospital in our place, so my husband was the one who managed it. I remember that during Christmas we gave away gifts or promotional products to our customers. Anything that will make them go back to our shop :) We gave away pens, t-shirts, calendars, umbrella, key chain and a lot more. If you are planning to give a promotional products or items go to www.gimmees.com they have thousands of items to choose from and you can purchase and process it online.
Me and My Hubby
Me and my hubby (picture taken last week) when we went to a factory outlet, an hour away from our place. I did not had any sleep at all that time because we went straight there after my night shift. Do I look so bad? I think so :)
Freaking Good Halloween Costume
The last time me and my kids had trick and treat was 3 years ago because in the last few years I was always working on Halloween. That is why this year I will make sure to request for an off duty that day so that we can go around do trick and treating with my kids with their beautiful Halloween costumes from costumecauldron.com. Before, my 2 girls had a witch costumes and my little one who was a baby that time was a pumpkin. Here in UK, trick and treating is only simple. Usually not a lot of kids and adult wears a costume. So the selections of Halloween costumes here is not good compare to USA. My friend who work in America sent me a Halloween picture last year and that was freaking nice. She was a beautiful witch and her son was a zombie, even her husband was in costume too. I cannot believe that they do it like that over there. Well anyway, if we can move there whenever I would like to try that as well.
This year my eldest daughter want to be a Child Fairy Witch, my second daughter want to be a Neverland Fairy Child and my son likes the Spiderman costume. Where did I found this costumes? It is from costumecauldron.com, they have a lot of selection of costumes in reasonable prices. They offer a worldwide shipping for only $6.99. I was surprised with their Halloween costumes selections. They have adult costumes, teen costumes, kids costumes, toddler costumes, baby costumes and even pet costumes. Wow that will be nice! When I look at their site I was blown away with their costumes because it was all nice and attractive. They offer sexy costumes, TV and movie costumes, couples costumes (if you want to have the same outfit with your hubby or special someone), plus size costumes (in the same price!), dance costumes, furry mascot costumes and even holiday costumes. What else are you looking for? You can shop for everybody (including your dog) in your family in just one site. Go now to avail their huge sale of up to 50%!
The 10 Shopping Commandments
Give praise to the shopping idols with our credit crunch-friendly commandments. Obey and ye shall be rewarded...
*Thou shalt not buy smaller sizes
If you think that buying a smaller dress size will motivate you to lose weight then you're deluding yourself. It doesn't work for Mariah Carey and it won't work for us.
*Thou shalt not waste money on passing trends
Those £200 mega-platforms seemed like a great investment at the time, didn't they? And now you're stuck with unwearable footwear that make you look like a circus freak.You can give a nod to the latest hot trend with some cheap accessories or throwaway clothing. Blow larger amounts on quality items that never go out of style.
*Thou shalt understand the difference between necessity and luxury
I want that Balenciaga bag. I need a new washing machine. See the difference?
*Thou shalt not forget to read the care labels.
If that gorgeous sweater is dry clean only then think twice. If you haven't the time or money to make regular trips to the dry cleaners for everyday clothing then choose easy-care items instead.
*Thou shalt not be a slave to sales
Bargains are great, but don't fall into the trap of buying things just for the discount. Yeah, 75% off is great but £150 for a dress you'll rarely wear is still steep.
*Thou shalt not buy rogue clothing
Your new trousers are fabulous, on-trend and cost a bomb. Only thing is, you have nothing in your wardrobe to wear with them. Oh dear...Before you purchase, try and imagine at least two or three outfits you could create. If you can't then put it back.
*Thou shalt not turn thy nose up at budget labels
Cheaper stores and supermarket brands often have good designers, and there are some great bargains to be found. Have a browse before you dismiss them out of hand.
*Thou shalt not impulse buy
Make a plan in your head before you start shopping. Ask yourself if you really need the item and think about how you will use it. Otherwise you'll end up with a cupboard full of stuff with the price tag still on.
*Thou shalt not be afraid to return
Changed your mind? You have the right to cancel a contract within seven days and most stores will exchange or return within a longer period, provided the item is still in good condition.
*Thou shalt not spend more than thou can afford
Seems obvious, but many of us rely on credit to fund our spending sprees. Retail therapy is a false prophet - never believe that it's worth going into debt for that 'must-have' item.
The essentialsWe guarantee you'll wear these items again and again...
There you girls, to anyone who is addicted to shopping like me. Let's do this 10 commandments and we will be rich with money and not a cupboard full of unused and unnecessary things. I promise I shall do this! 
Am I???
You Are A Total Shopaholic!
 And sometimes your credit rating takes a beating as a result Consider a job in retail to subsidize your gorgeous outfits Over time, you could become a famous stylist or designer! |
Do You Shop More Than Most Women?
What do you think with my result? I just tried this test to see if i am really a shopaholic. And guess what? I am!!! Of course I knew it already. One of the blogger said I need a lecture from shopaholic anonymous like alcoholic anonymous, if there is one operating in my area. But we know that there's nothing like that. Anyway with my obsession I can go shopping any day. Even from my night shift, even if it is raining or even I am sick...hehehe. With my result, there is a suggestion to consider a job in retail to subsidize my gorgeous outfits. I am thinking about that :~) So there you go. How about you are you the in the same boat with me?
A Long Day Out
We went to town yesterday to buy formal clothes and shoes, for us to use on Tuesday. We spent our whole afternoon there. Then went to my Kumareng Betchay's house to attend their adopted's birthday party :~)
I posted the other day that I will get my second daughter a Lelli Kelly shoes. At first she refused because she said it's so girly and very showing off. So she asked me to get a white summer sandal and gold shoes. Then when she saw the Lelli Kelly shoes she changed her mind. She said it is so nice and she love it...hehehe. But stock here in Ipswich is so limited. So I might get her one in London when we go there on Wednesday.
My 2 girls modelling their new clothes (pls. ignore their messy room :~)

She adore Hannah and Miley
Some food that we had in the party. The best was the pork barbeque. It was so yummy!

Pretty Shoes for my Pretty Girl
I am thinking of buying my second daughter one of this pretty shoes -a Lelli Kelly one. For working so hard at school. This week is the book week of our daughter's school. Throughout the school they had a contest to name a book and she was able to name the book correctly and she won a price. She won a book and a free pass for the family on a swimming pool. She doesn't know yet that I will get her one. But I think she will love this shoes. Well done Nicole for your hard work. Love you!!!

My Hubby's New Smell
My husband want a new perfume for the summer. He said a bit mild. So I got this one - a DKNY summer collection perfume. And as you noticed I had some freebies as well (don't mind the feeding bottle at the back). But forgotten where I put it :~) I need to rummage my bags because I want to use the jadore! He said he love the smell as well as my little boy. Like father like son! I just bought him a perfume and now he want a golf tees...hmmm.
Sandals For Me ;~)
This summer I bought this warehouse dark brown gladiator sandal and this new look jewelled sandal. And now I want that one in the bottom!!! A sandal with a zip. But the problem... how will I tell my husband? I think he will get mad at me. What do you think?
Ready for Summer
After thinking for more than 2 weeks between a Gucci and Armani sunglasses. I cannot make up my mind. When we went to town and I saw this Christian Dior. I said to myself this is it! So I bought it straight away. I hope my decision is right. But I think I look nice with it. What do you think? :~)
