Budgetising Weekend

 The pull of the shops has been STRONG for mum this weekend.  She thought that yesterday afternoon she would head into town and mosy around.  But she resisted and did some gardening and watched DVDs instead.
 Today she still had the urge, but resisted again.  She got three big bags of garden waste collected and some washing done.  She is trying to budgetise, and popping into the shops will just make her spend money on things we don't need.
 Mum couldn't resist the internets though.  Is it bad that she bought three necklaces last nite?  They were in a sample/seconds sale from a Kiwi artist she likes, and the tree cost her less than one necklace would in the shops.
 Me - I spent no moneys.  I just followed mum round the garden, and then come inside with her and snoozed on my new winter bed.
No treats for me - although mum let me have a chicken drumstick to chew on while she was cooking dinner. She thinks that I just lick it for a couple of minutes, and leave it in the garden for the neighbours cat.

    I love online shopping. LOVE. UPS makes regular stops at my house! And 3 for the price of 1? Well, my dear, that IS budgetising! Well done! =)

    Have a lovely day, ladies!

    Poppy, I think your human should have bought you something too! Maybe a new cat bed or blanket.

    We think your mum got a great deal, we're impressed with her bargain shopping. :-)

    Our human went to Value Village yesterday but left with nothing (gasp!). She did, however, find a much-needed pair of slacks on sale at Northern Reflections, 50% off. (They carry the one and only style in the known universe that fits her pudgy body. LOL.)

    Poppy, because you don't spend money, you make it possible for your Mum to do so!

    Our mum has been toying with the idea of a summer necklace. Something to remind her of the ocean.
    You bed looks lovely. Perfectly suited to you.
    Marvelous times to you and your mum.

    Mum was good shopping today too. She only bought underpants in the store. Nothing more, that is all she needed.

    Mum has a weakness for necklaces on sale too. She has lots to wear.

    I like your cozy bed, Poppy. The perfect place to keep an eye on things. Mum says necklaces and scarves are a lovely way to dress up clothes she already owns without spending much money. Meow, Jessica the cat

    You tell mom when she gets hat shopping urge, to snuggle up with you in her lap and read cat blogs. Our mommy never has time to shop anymore. Glad you two had a nice weekend together. Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
