That's a smart strategy! I've been buying boutique items here and there. There's only usually one or two per set I want so shrug
I don't think the old hair coupons are coming back, because they have those fringe books that give them out randomly. I bought a few of those in the BF sale, and got 1 of the ones I wanted. The rest sell for a decent amount, so it's not a terrible deal for unlisted wigs. I hate the randomness though :/
Happy fireside! It's always something, isn't it? How's the curling going?
Happy fireside, (and thanksgiving) :) Up here in Canadaland it's just a random November day haha.

Yeah that's why I included the fireside hehe c: I know we are all over in different places :p How's your random November day going?
Yeah it's a lot of training mostly. And because the location is so small there aren't enough resources for all 3 of us to be working at the same time.
It's going alright! It's actually over now xP
Good Morning Treechat! Happy Thanksgiving to those Celebrating, and Happy Fireside to those not.
I, myself, am at work. I'm not 100% well, so I'm dying to go home x.x; How is everyone else?
I'm also still quite worried about our MIA Dot. As far as I can tell it's closing on a month and a half with no one having heard from her. -sigh- I've tried contacting her every way I know how out of concern, but I've had no luck and now I think I'm starting to worry more than I should about it all. I really hope she is okay..
On a brighter note, I'm roughly down 10lbs! Which is quite a goal for me! When I start feeling better I have to start going to the gym more. But for now, I'm quite proud. :3
Random November day is good so far :) It's treat thursday at work, so that's always nice. I'm debating whether I want to participate in any black friday sales (yup, we have those, even without thanksgiving) but they tend to be eh on everything except electronics.
Are you having a big thanksgiving meal with family?
That seems early, no? I though curling usually went until march or april? At least my Dad's did. (This feels like a very Canadian conversation haha.)
How are you doing on catching up with fireside?
Happy fireside :) (And thanksgiving!) Sounds like you've earned yourself a thanksgiving treat. Are you going home to thanksgiving after work?
Dot has gone on hiatus before, so maybe she's just dealing with some stuff IRL? I didn't realize it had been that long since she was around. Hopefully it's nothing, and she's just not feeling internet sociable.

Well, I had thought so too but the last I recall hearing from her is that she wasn't doing well health wise, hence my elevated concern. But then again, my memory is truly poor. x.x;
I wish I were. Unfortunately, I work today, and Im off tomorrow but I work the morning after. My Family lives almost 3 hrs away and I don't drive, so between traveling on a Black Friday and trying to be back in time, I don't think it's possible to make it there. Apparently, they aren't even doing the big meal we normally do. Feels like every year our Family celebrations get smaller and smaller and yet all I want to do is go home to them more and more. Aye aye aye..
I am hoping to brave the Black Friday crowds tomorrow for Groceries and -hopefully- Pokemon Moon. Maybe that will cheer me up.
I've been using them for yearsssssssss. And my computer has always survived till now. Lets hope it continues aha. How was thanksgiving dinner?
I've really liked the last couple lines that came out!
Ooooooooooo. I had absolutely no idea that's where the coupons came from!!! I always thought they were like the ones that are in the shop now. I hate random too :( You're paying real money for it you should get what it is you want.
Oh :o That sounds rather impractical!
Happy thanksgiving to you too! I was working on a presentation with some people till 9pm lol.
Yeah I haven't heard from her either :( /goes stalk
Congrats!!!!
Haha well my league is still going.. but my competitive women's season is over! We had our last tournament this past weekend. I'm super behind on a lot of the achievs :( I doubt I'll get top tier this year! How about you?
Meh. It'll have to do for now ;) How are you?! How's your flatmates?
Ugh I hate black friday lol. Literally I feel like you don't even get that good of deals. Stuff is always on sale throughout the year. Also the crowds make it not worth it at all. And yes! We did a great big lunch today. We traveled about two hours to my grandma's house and got back not too long ago. I have officially decided to hibernate in bed the rest of the night. I'm. so. full. But also thankful ;) lol
Happy thanksgiving! Hope you had a great day despite having to work! And congrats on losing the weight c: I need to go back to the gym lol. Maybe I will make myself run in the morning since I ate sooooo much today.
Hmmm ok I will just blame you if something bad happens ;) jk!! It was good! First year without my brother though. That was weird. But surprisingly family time was not as painful as I thought it would be. How was your day?
Yeah, there's been a few gems! I really love the dresses from the last two sets. So pretty.
Haha, I forgot we were talking about the wigs on here and totally commented the same conversation, whoops! 😊 Chance items are the worst. Must rant at every opportunity!
I didn't realize the competitive season was so early! I thought they tended to happen more near the end of winter.
I was done with most achivevments from last years so I only have the 2 new ones to work on. I probably won't get the fantine pie one, though, since I deleted all my pumpkins for pumpkin deleter!
Being full is good reason to be thankful :D Sounds like you had a pretty sweet holiday.
I went to the mall on my lunch break today, and it was INSANE. And this is in Canada where the deals suck. People just go overboard for too little return. I'm with you, I'd much rather stay home - and online shop on cyber monday :P I like being able to comparison shop, since I feel like too many 'retail' prices are inflated, just so they can pretend every price has been 'slashed.' It's just a guise to get you to impulse shop.
Yep, I remember the same. Lets hope there's nothing to be worried about and she's just busy with holiday stuff.
It's funny how that works! The less you see family and have those big gatherings, the more you crave them. How did you black friday deal hunting go? I just made a few purchases online. Not feeling up to braving the crowded malls for the sake of shopping, myself haha.
Yay Pokemon :) Are you a pokemon go player? (I know it's not the same, but no one else I know plays, so I'm curious!)
[center]
For sure :) Okay :) One of them is quite a bit older than me and talks about himself all the time (seriously in 3 conversations we had, I asked him how he was doing and we talked for 20 mins about him without him ever asking how I was doing XD) One of them is between here and London, so isn't around much. And the lat one is nice to chat to aha.
How was your friends giving? Or is that today?
Lol, lets hope for the best lol. Aw. Well I'm glad it went well ^^ It's often whether we feel in the mood for it or not I feel :o
It was okay. I was in at work from 9:30am to 9 pm lol.
Yeah! And they've done some nice wigs too! Some of the delish wigs are just... Weird XD I've always found ranting helps XD XD Except with the weather lol.
Fun week end plans? How are you getting on with your book btw?
Yeah. Cyber monday is starting to annoy me though because I have about 200 emails in my inbox that is pure junk mail from websites ;-; Is there anything specific you are going to shop for?
LOOOOOOOONG shift. But you survived :p I have had such a long weekend off of work. I'm not going to enjoy going back on Monday.
Yeah! It was actually quite fun. We were making an informative video on the newest drugs for cystic fibrosis. I think we did a good job aha.
Did you get an extended week end because of thanksgiving? What have you been up to the last couple of days?
I love your outfit btw! Very chic!
Oh well fun work days are always better than stressful ones. I have had Thursday-Saturday off and we are closed sundays so yes a long weekend ;) Mostly been hanging out with family for the holiday! Some old friends were in town that I got to catch up with as well. Oh thank you :o It's for the stimulate your style challenge and I felt like I still needed to add more xD But I decided to just go ahead and submit it.
Definitely! Nice, that is a nice few days! Oh that ounds like fun!! Did you guys go out?
Ah cool! I never get around to doing those. How did you get one arm red and the other white?
We went to a brewery! Some of the breweries have their "holiday" beers out already and I wanted to try them c: I try to because otherwise I'm never motivated to make an HA xD I have a few things layered on top of it but I used
That sounds like so much fun! I actually don't like beer aha. But the same thing with cider would be so fun :D
They have christmas stands out with mulled wine and cider here, I love it so much aha.
That's a good point! I generally get sick of my HA rather quickly so I tend to change HAs a lot aha. Ohhhh, I've never used one of those I don't think. I should really try to be more varied! What was the item for the challenge?
btw how are you doing on fireside plushies/beanbags/items etc.?
I'm with you on that... a lot of the boutique wigs are just weird and random. Too messy or colourful. There's a few gems though!
Going to see Arrival in a bit. I haven't seen a movie in theatres is ages thanks to streaming haha. I gave tickets to a movie of your choice to my dad for father's day, and he's finally cashing in!
Finished the book thief! Met up last week to discuss over wine ;) This month's book is the kite runner!
Not really looking for anything in particular. Just good deals for gifts, I guess! I probably won't be indulging too much, as there isn't much I need these days!
Junk mail is so irritating. I'm so glad for gmail's folder system haha. I filter everything from stores into a retail folder, so I can mass delete everything in it. I try to unsubscribe if I never buy from the store, though.

I went to a german inspired christmas village this weekend actually. It was fun! They had mulled wine and cider. SO yummy c: I found it while browsing the overchest section I think! I love cheap wearables that are fun hehe. And it's the crown I'm wearing. There were two others to choose from. I can't remember the item name though.
I won't be indulging because bills xD And also I was creeping on your conversation with Pac. LOVE the book thief. LOVE the kite runner. (I'm an avid book nerd)
