I can't go spending for a while, but I've been saving the loyalty cards from my two favourite shops. So from one I have six fat quarters to get (I have my eye on a new funky range for those) and the other one I have a voucher for $25, which is pretty close to the cost of a full metre (just over a yard). So when I get down, I'll still be able to have some retail therapy! ;-)
