1) HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!


2) Don't you dare feel guilty. This was a birthday PRESENT. Your son wanted you to get something for yourself. It would have been no different if he went and bought you the jeans and wrapped them up.


3) Way to go! 3 pairs of jeans and a coat for $70! Thats a great deal!!


PS- How is DH liking the job?

Happy birthday!

Your son wanted you to get the jeans otherwise he would not have given you a gift card, and have you ever tried to buy someone jeans? Relax, you didn't go into debt doing this, and it was your birthday, right after a time you dealt with a pretty big emotional trauma.

Huggsss - it is ok to have a birthday and spend a bit on yourself.

Norma Happy Birthday!! Oh you deserve more than jeans! Do NOT feel guilty. I can tell you are happy with your purchases so don't sweat it!

I'm going to ask for jewelry from my bf for Christmas. I have a few charms I love to wear but I broke my gold chain they go on. I feel a little guilty asking but at least that will be easy for him to pick out and purchase. LOL!

Stretch those bucks baby. Empty the pantry a bit until the 17th. You can do this!
