Spending Ban Update #2

So today I've been on my spending ban 3 weeks exactly. Apart from the 2 beauty giftset's I mentioned I'd ordered from Debenhams for birthday prezzies, I hadn't spend any money on anything beauty related for myself. I got my dispatch email from Debenhams on the 20th but my parcel still hadn't turned up so I gave them a ring to see what was going on and was told my order had been cancelled. By cancelled they ment both items were out of stock when I paid yet neither item was updated as out of stock, they took my payment, sent a dispatch email and no one got in touch to let me know there was a problem? You're in my bad books, Debenhams! I was slightly pissed off and at the same time a letter came from Perricone along with a 20% discount code (NEWYEARNEWYOU if anyone's interested) so of course I ended up on the website ordering No Concealer Concealer!

I think it's safe to say this week has been a bit of a fail but I'm not too bothered. I've wanted No Concealer Concealer for what seems like forever and just couldn't pass up that offer plus getting my money refunded from Debenhams paid for it. Next week there will be NO slip ups! :)

Are you on a spending ban?
How are you getting on?

    I don't blame you for picking that up, that's a good deal getting 20% off because it's so pricey! x

      No, the girl was just really matter of fact. Luckily the birthdays I'd ordered them for aren't soon, I'd just ordered them because they were less than half price.
