I was looking at pearl necklaces as I think she’d really like one, but they are out of my price range at the moment — maybe I will save up for one for Christmas for her instead.

I hope to be able to pick her up something in town tomorrow, if I do indeed end up going :)

I could really do with getting an early night tonight but I know it won’t happen, I am too excited and I accidentally stayed asleep for an extra hour today. Doh.

Then on Wednesday is my mums 60th birthday, lots of plans with the family and stuff.

Thursday I am doing my final Christmas shopping trip, with my mum as sort of part of her birthday present.

So, if you don’t hear from me until Friday you know why — busy busy :)

* Actually it’s a £9 Travelodge room, teehee

We did a lot of ‘recceing’ as my mum calls it though, there was an awful lot of stuff I tried on and liked but it was all a little expensive, assuming that either a pre Christmas sale will be coming, or we’ll be getting sent some discount vouchers soon, we decided to leave it a few weeks and then go back to see if any of them had come down.

We also sussed out some presents for other people, a hat for my SIL, a dressing gown and slippers for my brother and a jewelry box for my best friend.

So it was still a good trip, I just didn’t come home with much this time.

* I mention the size, because the last time I went shopping I needed to buy size 16, woo.

I have money in my pocket and a wishlist in my head — here’s what I am hoping to get:

* Skinny jeans
* Long sleeved tees
* Knee length skirt
* Night dress
* Heeled shoes
* Big funky ring
* Short winter coat

Bet you I don’t come back with any of it, I never do when I plan and make lists…I always find the best shopping trips are the unplanned ones.

We’ll see though, right now I should get to bed so I am fresh as a daisy for the shopping. Will update you tomorrow for sure.

I’ve just ordered myself some lovely bits and bobs from la Redoute, using a £15 off voucher of course, you know me and my bargains :)

Currently winging it’s way to me…a lovely little grey woolen bolero, a deep knit brown sweater/dress and a ‘free’ watch and bracelet set. Not bad hey, not bad at all!

I am also going actual shopping with my mum on Thursday, always a good day out. I hope to buy a bit of makeup, a nice dress and some new boots!

Now it’s just a case of deciding what sort of jewellery to get her, I have seen some stunning diamond rings but they are a bit out of my price range so it’s going to be either a bracelet or some earrings.

I’d like to get the bracelet because then I could have an engraving put on it, but I don’t think she really wears them whereas I know she loves her earrings. Hmm what to do, what to do.

Isn’t 60 when a woman starts to collect her pension? Bless her, I shouldn’t tease — she isn’t happy about it.

We’re not really ‘big fuss’ people in my family, so there won’t be a party or any sort of big celebration — but I would like to get her something nice, like…really nice. I was thinking of some diamond earrings or a lovely watch. The problem is that if I told her this or asked her to pick something she’d NOT want me to spend that much money and pick something out that costs £10 — so I’d have to just pick something for her and hope she likes it, a dangerous game when it’s such an expensive item.

So what I thought I might do is pick some items from a website and create my own html page with the images on to show to her, that way she won’t see the price and will genuinely chose what she likes the most — clever huh?
