Frugal xmas... I can dream!

Okay so xmas is totally non frugal... spent far too much on oh, kids..and everyone..but its only once a year!! Am getting back on the wagon now, have 3 more bits to pick up and then that's it....no spending until new year!!

Tonight have two hampers to make up...ribbons, cellophane.. Absolutely loving Moneysavingexpert at the moment..fantastic ideas..my first hampers

So...what does a frugalista want for xmas... luxuries, goodies and lovely treats... here's my list!

Mac Mineralize
Perfume- CK Euphoria or MAC MV2
Nails inc Polishes
Yankee candles
Hello Kitty journal
Hello Kitty notepads
Primark bracelets
Primark pixie boots
Primark stripey longline cardigan
Hannah Montana mug

Embracing my inner child..just a bit..lol..cant be serious Law student all the time..got to have some Hello Kitty lol

Hoping so much that I get some Primark vouchers from family, a shopping spree in there would be awesome!

Going to be working hard to get my "Boobie fund" filling up in the new year!! Applying for some weekend work at the moment..fingers crossed will get something sorted
