Tis the season to be jolly (or spending!)....

Ah..the first of Dec and what better way to kick off the day than with a blanket of white outside. Perfect day to simply curl up with a book and a nice cuppa hot chocolate! Will need to get myself out there for my first mystery shopper assignment this evening though. A $50 reimbursement for a nice dinner for 2 at a local pub & restaurant and in return I need to fill out a little survey about the restaurant. A pretty nice deal really.  I just hope the weather does not get too treacherous tonight!
In other news, I've been doing a lot of shopping lately. After the initial disappointment of seeing the Xbox 360 250GB console with Kinect sold out everywhere or at ridiculously marked up prices, we finally secured a set for ourselves at Dell online store yesterday. I have also ordered two additional games from amazon at $10 discount each. I'm not one to play games but the idea of being THE controller is way cool and right up my alley. I think we'll really enjoy this one and it will serve as our exercise for winter. Can't wait for the set to arrive!
I'm also done with my X'mas shopping and have stocked up on warm clothing for the both of us. Managed to purchase a Furla bag for my mum at an unbeatable price - I'm extremely pleased with the deal. As for myself, I've got my eyes on this leather satchel bag from ASOS. Am currently having an internal argument with myself on whether I really do need it but we'll see...;P

So how is your Christmas shopping coming along? :)

That bag from asos is lovely, if I were you, I'd need it :)
I haven't started Christmas shopping yet, but I've planned what to get for everyone so hopefully it'll be quick and painless!

We have been doing some shopping too...a new laptop just arrived.
:) Nothing for Christmas yet, though. It won't be too hard, just a few mouse clicks away! Love online shopping.

@Zsuzsi. I was this close to buying the bag and then I found out that the promo code for 20% discount had expired. Damn! Will have to wait for the next sale now. Probably by then it would be sold out! heh.

@sugarlens. I concur! Online shopping is da best! :)
