I posted a little while back about searching for winter clothes for the girls in the middle of summer.
I know I may be a little crazy but hey I like a bargain :)
So I got my girls Uggs at bargain basement prices and next on my hit list was Hunters
I stumbled across this fabulous website http://www.countryhouseoutdoor.co.uk/ where I got bargains galore!
Including my girls Hunter Wellies for only £17.45 and I have to say I am thrilled with them, delivery was super quick and the girls love them.
Thought I'd share this little gem with you
Happy bargain hunting...
(P.S. I am in no way associated with Country House Outdoor I just thought I'd share my find)
Ok in all honesty I am rubbish at getting bargains, it always seems like too much hassle to save a couple quid but as I am getting notoriously tight in my old age I appear to be turning into my Nana.
I got a fantastic deal a few months ago on my tumble drier, brand new from a shop but through ebay, a cheeky bid of £79 won me a £300 tumble drier! Woo to the Hoo!
Now it is the middle of summer and the weather is glorious my mind turns to winter (obviously, duh) so I am on the look out for kids Ugg Boots and Hunter Wellies, I refuse to pay full wack (for Uggs any way) but of course I want new so its a bit tricker.
But once again eBay came up trumps and I have got two pairs of Uggs one for £24 and the other for (wait for it..) £15!! and that included the postage.
Its safe to say I was bloody delighted
I have to say that they would not be my first choice in style if I was paying £140 but for the kids they are great.
and I of course wont sell their old Uggs until the weather turns cold so I can get a good price for them.
Next thing you know I will be cutting out coupons...
After another week of single parentdom my memory is fried as I can't remember what we did this week, so just give me a minute...
Ah Funday Monday, we went to soft play and then McDondalds for dinner. A bit of an easy Funday Monday for me but given the fact that neither of the girls are sleeping very well and hubby is working away I am too shattered for anything too adventurous.
Tuesday is nursery and Gymnastics, with a visit to Pets at Home slotted in as the girls love going to look at the animals, a free way to pass an hour that they really enjoy :)
Thursday I treated myself to a bit of retail therapy, I am in desperate need for some new clothes but I seem to have lost my fashion way over the last few years. I got a few bits but I am planning a "fashion" overhaul in the next few weeks so I will let you know how I get on. (I really need to befriend Gok Wan for a bit).
I did get myself a great pair of boyfriend jeans from Next which I am very pleased with and I ordered some Ash Wedges (eek) which pleased me no end!
Friday we renamed grump day, we were all grumpy and tired. We took Kit Kat out for a what was supposed to be a nice walk in the snow turned into a whiney, crying walk in a freezing cold blizzard (come on spring where are you??). It was so windy and cold, the windier it got the slower the girls walked it was a nightmare.
But of course we still had time for a bit of dress up, in between the grumpiness :)
The wandering husband returned on Saturday afternoon (woo hoo) so I immediately dumped the kids on him and took the dog out for a long bracing walk. After being cooped up with the girls for a week it was lovely to get out in the peace and quiet, just me and the dog (snow and wind).
And Kitty also had his first hair cut!
He went from being a Teddy Bear, full of fluff, who I thought was a bit chunky to a skinny little rat!
He is still super cute though :)
