Good golly Miss Molly...................you've been to the sales 3 times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My OH thinks its fab coz he thinks he's married to the only womam who hates shopping......................now I know thats not true coz theres lots of you out there not too keen on the ole shopping trip.

I actually even struggle with garden centres coz I'm so aware of the mark up and how these things are mass produced for quantity rather than quality................give me a small family run business any day :)

I'm staying as far away from shops as possible, even had the groceries delivered this morning because I couldn't face going into town. The only shop I've visited since christmas is the farm shop to get bread, fruit and veggies and the farm supply store to get chicken food, cat food and straw for chickens bedding.

another shopping avoider here.

I need to get a new paid of trainers as my old ones are getting tatty. So last wednesday, I planned to go. But then went home instead. I was thinking about going tomorrow, but I know I won't. I hate shopping. Shoe shopping is probably the worst. (My colleagues are all amazed because I only have three pairs of shoes (two of those are riding boots!)
gone to pot :D

Well I don't hate shopping, quite like it sometimes, but not a good shopper cos I dont like parting with my cash.  OH does that big time, most of the time,  he is a shopper!!!!  Was at Ikea today, don't like that shop but did get a few things there and they are so reasonably priced.  Kilner jars 99p ech.  not bad I thought.  Hope to hit M&S sale later on this week,  yes I like shopping!!!!

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Joshua 10 year old Grandson hates going shopping. Lorna insisted he went with her today as she wanted to buy him some new tops and trousers. He came round to show me what she had bought. One top that he chose said  " FOR SALE PARENT, BUY ONE GET ONE FREE" he told me he is going to ask Uncle John to do some graphics to add, which will read ..This is not a joke!!!
He loves his Mum really ;D

Clanger - I'm guessing you'd rather stick pins in your eyes ?

50/50.....have to be in the mood, and if I am, then hoorah!  But like you Carol, I find it painful parting with the cash, cos I don't have any!   ;D  Haven't done the sales for yonks....I used to have a chum who worked in Harrods warehouse and he hated sales time because they would ship out a lot of their usual gear and ship in a load of cheap old rubbish - stick Harrods price tags on them, and even at their sale price the mark up would be 100% !!  Kinda put me off.  And these days, with the glorious internet, you can get some amazing bargains all year round!  ;D

Redclanger, the thought of you sticking pins in your eyes is offputting to say the least, but I will guess you dislike shopping even more than me? Or at least according to Baggy ...
