I don’t like shopping at Tesco, but I do like the staff who work there. Continue reading

There’s Going To Be A New “River Island”
If you’ve had the joy of walking along the High Street in the past couple of weeks, you’ll notice that there is a major construction project happening near the Lloyds Bank and opposite(ish) Boots.
THERE’S GOING TO BE A NEW RIVER ISLAND.
So, if you’re like me, and fancy spending £30 on a single shirt, then you’re in luck.
I tend to find it is the kind of shop I only want to go in once I’ve got some gift vouchers, but fortunately my family have cottoned onto this to the extent that one Christmas present is always a voucher for said shop.
At the moment in store there’s a lot of shirts with pictures of Amsterdam (through various Instagram filters) with the word “AMSTERDAM” emblazoned over the top of it in some hipster fonts, so if you’re a fan of that kind of thing, be my guest (I’m not, I have terrible fashion sense, I can basically just about pull together some colours as a “theme”…and that’s me being generous about my own abilities).
It also says outside the new store that they are “recruiting”, but they’re not, I did a search and there are no jobs available at all at the new store. SO IT’S ALL LIES.
I wanted to get a Saturday job so I could graduate with at least some level of money, but apparently they don’t want Fashion Supremo Richard Morris working for them.
As I went to hit “Schedule” on this post, I was made aware that in fact The Lincolnite, a more serious and boring news source, has already done a story on this, so if you want to be bored to death click here.
The Pains Of Christmas Shopping
Christmas, it’s a time of joy and goodwill to all men and woman. Obviously anyone who says this has never experienced shopping in the seasonal period.
I for one don’t usually mind Christmas shopping, or so I think, until I actually go… This happens every year. I think “ooh” I’ll go to look in so and so in town and then immediately regret ever leaving the house.
Lush Stuff From Lush
A hot bath during winter is one of the most luxurious things. Coming in from the cold at Christmas time and having a good soak surrounded by bubbles. I can’t think of anything better and yes that is the girliest thing I’ve ever said…
Anyway, for those of you that are massive bath fans like myself, Lush’s Christmas collection may just be for you.
Secret Santa On A £1 Budget
On Sunday, we told you about Secret Santa, but what if you’re low on money?
If your gift ideas stretch beyond your budget, pound shop secret Santa might just be for you. Continue reading
Secret Santa – is it the way forward for Christmas?
Yep, it’s that time of the year again. The time where you scrounge every last penny out of your purse for presents for your family and friends.
Secret Santa is something which is becoming more common each year. It’s easier than getting everyone a present and can be quite fun. With Secret Santa, you write everyone’s names on a piece of paper, scrunch them up and randomly pick one. Then you have to buy something for that person without conferring with anyone else.
