Laundry by hand?

I’m looking to buy a washing machine and dryer. My set has been slowly but gradually malfunctioning for a while and although I’ve been trying to stretch it waiting for a appliance discount, I’m pretty sure it won’t last forever.

So it’s off to shop this weekend regardless. I was hoping to save some money by waiting but sometimes things don’t work out as we plan. Well, so be it. If I have to spend a bit more, it’s better than having to do laundry by hand. That would be unthinkable.

Just coaching, I mean, browsing

I strolled into the Coach store the other day and was promptly handed a promo flyer by the handsome young man at the door. I doubted that I would use the discount because I’m not even a Coach fan. I was merely there for a looksee.

One turn around the store and I was out of there. I think Coach is overrated. Everyone’s swarming to get one because of the name. Not for me, I’d rather buy something with a less known brand name and a better design.

Mother’s Day

So Mother’s Day was here and gone for another year. No, I didn’t get a mothers ring but I got dinner instead at my favorite Cheesecake Factory.

Nothing beats someone else doing the cooking and serving me for a change. With all the cooking and slaving that a mother does in the kitchen all year, it’s nice to not have to get messy or do the washing up.

Mother’s Day should be celebrated much more often than once a year.

Shopping as a job

If shopping were my job, I’d be really good at it. I’ve pretty much been in shopping spree mode for the past whole week and there’s still more to go.

Truth is I haven’t shopped (not in the real sense of the word) in a couple of years and that’s considered amazing for a shopaholic.

Now it’s time to upgrade my wardrobe,,, watch out, world!!

A brave move

A girl friend of mine has recently quit her job and leaped into the world of work at home moms. A very brave move and one that many of us have made and are surprisingly happy with.

She’s in the process of setting up her business after a lengthy deliberation of what home business to get into. But that’s done now and she’s moved on to the next phase of sorting out her supplies, establishing a business credit line and making a go at it. Exciting times!

Love free shipping

I’ve just spent a few hours window shopping online. It’s been a while so I decided it was time to check out what’s new and happening in retail therapy. Actually I’m looking to save money by picking up some great deals on summer wear.

Because I don’t really follow the trend (I prefer to set my own ), I won’t be paying full retail for new arrivals. Rather I’m looking at stock that they might want to clear out to make space for all these trendy new arrivals. Have I mentioned I love free shipping? I think that’s what makes me buy more than what I need, just to qualify for the free shipping.
