Curtsies & Conspiracies by Gail Carriger

I've been running low on things to read so glad I won this! A copy of Curtsies & Conspiracies by Gail Carriger. It's the second in the series but hopefully it won't be too hard for me to get into.

Value: £6.99
2013 Total: £2712.13

Update: So I think it's safe to say I had very little idea of what was going on during this. I don't know if my confusion came from being a newcomer to the series, or the fact that the plot just plain didn't make sense. That being said, I really quite enjoyed it. I liked the style in which it was written, I enjoyed the characters and the little bits of romance that were sprinkled throughout. It hasn't made me absolutely desperate to go out and start reading it all from the beginning, but if I had some free time I might just go and do that.

£20 Boots Advantage Card Points

Thankfully this was an actual win this time rather than another Barcelona mishap. 2000 Boots Advantage Card Points, which is the equivalent of £20 to spend!

Value: £20
2013 Total: £2705.14

Yankee Candle

A win from a Foamburst daily - a spiced orange yankee candle. It smells wonderful!

Value: £8.39
2013 Total: £2651.82


Tesco Hudl

One of my best wins of the year - a Hudl Tablet from Tesco! They were giving 100 away on twitter. The tablet is fab, excellent screen and sound quality and is quick to load up apps. It does get a bit juddery if there's too much going on at once, but for a budget tablet it's still pretty great. I'd definitely recommend it if you're thinking of buying it as Christmas pressie for someone.

Value: £119

Basler Makeup Bag and Mirror

A nice little win from Gray & Osbourne - a makeup bag and mirror from designer brand Basler.

Value: They don't seem to be on sale anywhere, but given Basler's clothes sell for over hundred I guess everything must be pretty expensive! Maybe £10?
2013 Total: £2500.55

Following on from my post back in August, I finally received the correct CD a few days ago. This one is much better, lots of great (and recent!) tracks on it.

Value: £6.74
