I confess, an order sent.
But it was all stuff that I really did actually need, like a full sized chopping board and a decent colander. And it was miraculously just above the cut off point that gets the free cloths and free delivery.
I haven't told dear heart yet. I am sure he will be understanding. He is actually really generous.
Perhaps it is just as well that the order went off before I found that the new washing up bowl (£3 from Matalan) was too small to take a dinner plate. What sort of washing up bowl is too small to take a dinner plate? Is it supposed to be just for mugs? It was probably designed by someone with a dishwashing machine, because surely they must have thought, what does this need to have in it? Dearie dearie me. However at least I didn't order one of those transparent washing up bowls that have caught my eye in the Lakeland catalogue. All practical sense says that there is absolutely no point and all I will see is the bits of gunk that usually coat the underside of my washing up bowl. But the transparent bowls somehow call to me.
So I must purchase a washing up bowl before it is too late and I order again! It's a conspiracy!

If you made an order that was only just above the offer amount you are a better woman than me. I never seem to be able to stop until I get up to scary amounts.
Hi Sybil
Glad to hear that LB is being his usual mischievous self, hugs from virtual granny.
Your shopping habit sounds just like mine!!! I just love Lakeland, I really want one of those vacuum cleaner type thingies for washing windows but the price is ridiculous.
BTW Marks and Sparks have some lovely summer tops in larger sizes at good prices, I bought 8 without realising, just kept ordering one or two. Still my holiday is for 2 weeks so I really need them, NOT.
Love to the family.
Jack's mummy - I did consider the option of multiple orders. But I am desperate to be good. Also, I didn't look very closely at a lot of the catalogue, which helped a lot! lol.
Mary - thank you for the tip about Marks and Sparks. Of course you need them - you can't do washing on holiday! I have also seen some tops in Ann Harvey (via quidco of course) and I am weighing up my options. And little bear sends an extra mischievous hug for his granny.
