[momof3heathens]

I've got too many shows to catch up or start and same goes with books. I can't decide which to start first.

I guess am just of the understanding that .....nobody owes you anything

Nobody owes your posts responses either then?

[torontogal12]

sounds about right.. i sent out 8 and only got back 1 (and it took me about 2+ hours to do them.. having to hunt down addresses, names...)

Yes I don't think I will bother with many more next year. It takes too long to track down the addresses. I don't even know if they've received them because I've just heard silence

thats pretty much what i'm thinking also.. though most the work is done.. as long as they don't move.. i have the addresses, the proper name spellings.. it won't be nearly as hard next year...

Everything I wanted to buy on boxing day either sold out or is not in my size.
There was alot of stuff we needed on sale at Shoppers this weekend, and with boxing day sales I could have easily spent 100+(trying to build up my points so I can use them for a palette I really want), what's my optimum offer this weekend? 3000 pts when you spend 10.00 on food or snacks. Offer for tomorrow? 8000 pts wus 40 or more on baby food/diapers/formula(haven't bought diapers there in over 6 months).

@Lyssia510 I had the opposite problem. Everything I wanted was in stock at SDM, so much that I would've dropped about $75 for the first time ever.

But my offer was for a finite amount of points WUS $40 so I ended up buying just $40ish. Had they offered me 20x I would've spent a lot more.

I got a gift card for Pennington for Christmas and was planning to go shopping yesterday during the Black Friday sales (b1g1 free all regular priced items or 60% off sale items) but there was a snowstorm. It wasn't bad enough to cancel the city busses but it was bad enough that I wasn't going to take 2 kids out. They don't let you use a gift card online and Boxing Day is a holiday here so the only day I could take advantage of the sale was yesterday. Today the sale changed to 50% off sale items or 20% off regular priced items. It's not worth going out of my way with 2 kids since the store is about a 5 minute walk from the mall and they rarely get the sidewalks plowed. I will just save the gift card until the spring/summer when I can take the kids in nicer weather and not have to worry about walking on a busy road with 2 kids.

sometimes giving people gift cards is giving them more work to do. A truly first world problem

I should have acted fast. I wanted to buy urban decay vice 4 palette at sephora.ca. After extra 20% on sale it would have cost me only $36+tax (originally $70) but now it's all gone. All the lucky girls got it before me. Uuggghhh...now i don't even know what else to buy for my b'day present. Lol

Check again in few days; sometimes, they bring them back. You have Sephora store nearby?

EDIT: Better add my rant before de-railing the thread

umm, my bro became rouge for Sephora and I spent hours looking at items that I should buy and then decided to not buy because it is expensive.

Another rant: got a facial cream from store for my mom; opened it and it is used as someone dipped their fingers!




WTF? Eww thats so gross! Do they not check the returns? My $30 ! I hope they will accept it and will allow me to exchange it. Oh the cream was so old with the packaging destroyed

I had the same thing happen but I wanted the Make Up Forever palette they had and stupidly decided to wait till boxing day for the 20% off and it was sold out. Guess it's a sign that I only need the Gwen Stefani one.
I've heard mixed reviews on the Vice 4 palette(mostly that it's not up to normal UD quality), the electric palette has better reviews but not as many colours and not on sale.

Actually there is no sephora near us so i can't go and physically see the palettes. I didn't want either of these palettes when they came out but when i went to sephora on boxing day and saw sooooo much glitter in vice 4 and it was on sale...i almost died. Lol. Glitter! My love!
And i guess it's a sign that i should keep money in my pocket instead of buying another palette. There is only 1 thing that can keep me from buying glittery palettes and it's when they are sold out online. Lol.

But i just can't forget that i could've gotten a $70 palette (vice4) for only $36.
Oh well....may be i should follow your footsteps and start buying designer bags. Lol

Every half hour I take a different med until the pain go away. I think next year I'll try alternative medicine.
