Today my boyfriend and I went for a little shopping trip to see if we could pick up any sale bargains ^^ I really needed to buy some new trousers but I struggle buying trousers (I'm pear shaped or something :P) and I also don't enjoy shopping for them D: So kinda ended up buying stuff I didn't intend to buy. XD But hey, it's good to have some New Year treats!
1 - A cute soft sweater from Next. I think these days, for buying any clothes other than shirts (which I buy all over the internet), Next is almost the only clothes shop I actually enjoy going to and find stuff I like in. No doubt the next couple of months will still be pretty cold so I need more things with long sleeves :D
2 - Doggy purse/wallet also from Next. It was just too adorable really. Animal faces on things generally always make them better.
3 - Various hot chocolates from Whittard, and a cute handpainted mug reduced in the sale :D Before my mum says anything, yes I have LOADS of mugs for tea, but this one was the perfect size for drinking hot chocolate :3 As for flavours, they had lots of fun kinds! We went for cinnamon, cherry and mint.
4 - Hazelnut coffee and chocolate covered espresso beans, also from Whittard. I'm generally a tea drinker and only drink coffee on occasion, but I've had this flavoured one in the past and it's *lovely*. Something for Saturday mornings :) And chocolate espresso beans are just quite yum. XD
5 - 2012 planner for the Creative Procrastinator - in the Calendar Club sale. (word of advice - just wait till January 1st to buy diaries or calendars, so much cheaper XD) Anyway, I had to get this as it's just too perfect for me. I think "creative procrastinator" is my middle name(s). The middle is filled with handy boxes for writing what you have to do, such as "Things I need to do but that can wait a day, or two, or three.." and "Things I absolutely have to do unless I absolutely don't want to do them". Each week also has a Procrastinator tip, or bit of wisdom. My favourites include: "Better to do nothing and avoid looking bad than to proceed and look like a total idiot", and "Some people say nothing is the worst thing you can do. I challenge them to tell me the last time a war broke out over nothing." XD
6 - Christmassy chocolates in the sale at Hotel Chocolat - Hotel Chocolat is one of those shops I love to look in but have never bought anything from before. The sale seemed a good excuse to :D I always think I'd rather have a very small amount of high quality chocolate than a big bar of something cheap and rubbish ;)
So yeah, that's some typical pandalion swag, would often include games but I'm intent on finishing fallout: new vegas without getting distracted! Bye for now!
