Sold a table and chairs on e-Bay and the buyers just came and picked them up. I loved that table. It looked perfect in our kitchen in the U.S., but there is no place to put it here and it was just taking up space in various parts of the house. So in the end, much as I loved it...Good riddance! And now I have some cash in my purse.

I sprung for some Clinique stuff today (but made sure I got free samples!) & got the bonus bag.  And got my Boots card. :)

Yes!  But tomorrow's the last day - so get yourself there soon if you want it.  It's a nice big cream-coloured makeup bag with makeup remover, body butter, face scrub, intense moisturizer, & foaming cleanser.  I spent more than I thought I was going to, to get the bonus.  Oh well. :)

And I booked myself in for their next promotion - something to do with makeup.  I like getting their freebies.
