Thriftychick is still loving the fact that she gets to go to parties, so is feeling a tad champagne-addled this morning after a pleasantly spooky Hallowe'en do at the Crypt last night - the spooky thing being quite how many canapes Thriftychick can manage and still go home for tea. Still, shared the chocolates in the goody bag with the Flatmate, so don't feel quite so guilty. (OK, I gave him the ones I didn't want, but it still counts.)

The magazines have started appearing, and although slightly thinner on the freebie front and depressingly full of Christmas presents, there are some goodies to be had. Red has a voucher redeemable for free Clinique body lotion, Glamour is going with the clutch bag/purse option and Easy Living has a tacky-looking but fun notebook. And it's only the start of the month...
