. . . I have $50 of free money ( a gift card) for a mall which includes (among other things) MAC, Farmers, Lush and the Body Shop, and I can't think of what to spend it on. I even *gasp* said ' I think I have enough makeup for now'

I'm scared. :p

shaz I thought of that but my wardrobe is fine atm, I'm barely going to wear shoes once I start my new job and I wanna blow it frivolously haha. One of the mums of the kids I took away last month gave me it to say thanks.

BTW Nat have you *smelled* the rio?

I'm actually pretty much the same for right now, so I'm choosing to buy myself storage for said make up and some Shopkins because I collect those and love them :P Another thing I love collecting is cute notebooks.

Funny! I just got given a $50 New World card. And Trudi I got some devasting news today too, so hot on the heels of a funeral yesterday and a funeral today, I'm feeling very fragile! I did try and balance the karma by buying 8 products at the Warehouse for myself, but it didn't help as much as it usually would....

Sorry about the not good news you two!
does the card have an expiry? I'd probably sit on it for a bit. I just earnt a $20 farmers reward voucher but I'm going to try to be good and save it for a little while (I think it has 6 months right?).
Believe it, Be it.

If only! hehehe I got a small lump of money for which I'm to do what I want with but my problem is I have so many carts full all over the internet that I can't narrow it down to what I want the most.  As it is a small amount from inhertiance I am going to make a clever purchase of a high end expensive perfume for sure but I know the person who left it to me would be saying spend on things that make you happy, but which one!!

I too have gift cards lying around yet to be used. Since I have started focussing on using things I have the lure of new products has been seriously minimal. I might spend mine on a nice candle though once I get through my stash!

Right! I earnt a $20 Farmers reward a couple weeks ago and am yet to use it. It's more because there's nothing from Farmers I need right now lol but I still made other purchases 0_o I'm not buying anymore makeup until I've off-loaded some of what I've got!

First of all hugs too you trudijoy and Mareebros for the difficult times you are going through and a special hug to you Mareebros for your loss xxxxx

I love how Nat comes in with her little cough comments, you're so cute Nat (but such an enabler lol) xx

I was given a $50 prezzy card at the start of semester for helping with Orientation Day here at Tec (I'm part of the Student Association here) and its just been sitting here and I keep forgetting it, so thanks for the reminder.  Although it does actually remind me why I didn't spend it straight away, its because I have so many things I want that I just can't decide either lol.  I might keep it for a rainy day or maybe for my little girl's birthday which is coming up in November although I have actually bought her birthday present already so......lol.  Ah dilemma lol xx
The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.

woohoo!  not just me lol.  I was going to use it on boots then I got boots in Wild Pair for $20.

I think a decent bottle of bubbly to finish my last term teachings might be the thing :)  If I can use it in NW lol

I wouldn't know what to get with a gift card. If I gave it to my kids they would know exactly what they would buy lol sometimes I wish I had their instant descion making .

I have almost $100 worth of farmers vouchers, and i have had them for a long time. When i go into farmers, nothing grabs my attention so no point wasting the vouchers. However, i have a few expiry dates creeping up so would hate to waste it on a impulse buy on something i dont even want or need

Hahahah I'm glad I helped enable you ;-P but no, I have enough hand cream haha. Although I think when I run out I would gladly repurchase it, it's pretty darn good. I turn into a weird sniff monster though haha smell all the (two) hands!

I also didn't have a pink one, one in this scent family, one with a gold lid or the exact one I wanted in my stressed out, PMSing state.

SO many reasons to buy the under half price, very pretty thing. . . .
