I'd never heard of Black Friday but Christmas madness is well and truly underway here in the UK. We are planning to get our tree next weekend-I love decorating a tree. Think I'm going to do a lot of shopping on line because I just can't afford to spend much this year either.

Black Friday is basically madness. All the retailers country-wide want you in their store that day so they have insane deals.

Unless you're into the social aspect of queueing at 2AM at the local electronics store. It's a very geeky, dorky thing to do, but I kinda love it- There's nothing like beating thousands of people to the best deal and saving money doing it.

I'm feeling worlds better now, thank you! Yea, it was just a three-day head-cold. Nothing too special :)

Getting a bargain does make you feel good and I like to pick things up before I buy them but when it comes down to the money aspect, cheap is good. Going to try e-bay today as I really need a new winter coat.
Glad you're feeling better, I sneezed twice this morning which I am taking as a bad omen...
