Hope you all had a good Christmas!! I got makeup and perfume I can't wait to use, just waiting until January is nearly over! Oh exams of doooom! I only have three but I have to finish all the research for my dissertation too so I need to make some strides. Sadly in order to keep my job for next term, I have to keep travelling back and forth from Birmingham to Manchester to do some shifts! I can revise on the train and don't mind too much, it just eats up a lot of time. No way I'm staying in my Manchester house by myself!!
My Mom and Nan hit the sales with me on Boxing Day but I didn't see anything too great. I got these St. Tropez sets for half price in Boots but I might return the gradual tan set as I wouldn't use it until the summer! The normal tan set comes with a bowl- no idea why?! To sit your stuff in? I picked up on with a crack in it anywa, fail! I got the Girls Aloud eyelash set too and considering they are usually £5 a pair, I got 5 pairs and the makeup bag with some brushes for £12.50, not too bad! I need a new bag and purse to replace mine but didn't see any I liked from the small selection out there. A lot of the sales seem to be stuff left over from summer stock and there's nothing I want! Well everything I had my eye on didn't go into the sale! All my Christmas money has to go on my January rent anyway, how depressing.
The best thing about Christmas day was the food! Seemingly opposite to everyone else, I'm trying to put on weight right now as I was so busy last term, I didn't have time to always eat properly! I can't think of a day where I had three square meals just because I'm out and about all over the place or inside trying to study. Do any of your have that problem? It's one of my new years resolutions to eat more! Now I've got to go revise and start my dissertation research all over again! Whyyyy didn't I save that document to my hardrive dohhhhhh!
Same I had a look in the sales on Boxing day but there wasn't really anything there that I liked.

I wanted some false eyelashes so hope they have them on sale in my local boots.
I think the sales in general are rubbish.

Ah yess :)
It's one of my new years resolutions too.
Were you in Birmingham? Did you here about the guy who got shot/stabbed on boxing day?
I found that the sales were a bi lacklustre as well but to be honest I only made it to two shops so, maybe I just didn't catch the good ones.

I found the sales really disappointing,
All the stuff was just old crap that they had dug out of the back of the store cupboard,
I got a couple of good bargains though :)

The sales have been so naff, I've only bought one thing in the online sales. It all seems to be old old stock they just can't seem to shift. And I WISH I had your problem of being too busy to eat! although I have found since working full time I snack less and only eat on my set break times which has been good...except when there are chocolates in the staff room!

I wish I forgot to eat sometimes!
I'm in Paris and sales haven't started yet but I've been round the shops to select what I hope will be on sale later...
