It’s time to “Shop & Hop”. (Mention of Oodles of Freebies ‘n’ Bargains).

If you tried to do the Winter Shop & Hop Event but the lag caused by the sheer busyness of the crowds made you give up I’m happy to tell you that it’s time to go back.  It’s so much quieter now you should find it much easier to get around and grab all of the amazingly generous gifts.  I’ve hardly had the chance to unpack them but even from picking them up I can see there is such an excellent mix of gifts that there is something for everyone.

The only downside is it’s over…tomorrow…or today depending on which day in SL the 6th lands on.  I do know from past events unless they block access to the sim we do have a bit of leeway as it takes sellers time to log in and pick their items up but I’d not delay and go now.

Also, remember to grab some of the bargains at the same time.  I know I picked up at least 3 fab items as such low prices it made my Cheap B* heart sing.

Shop & Hop

It’s the final countdown. (43+Freebies and Offers).

Today is officially my last feasting day and yes I had Ben and Jerries (a whole f**king tub of it) for breakfast and that was just the starter.  I’ve got my fruit ‘n’ veg at the ready and when I’ve snarfed my last slice of chocolate cake I’m DONE!

Not that it’s going to be such a hardship as I LOVE fruit ‘n’ veg!

I also love bloody good freebies ‘n’ bargains.

The top was the first freebie I unpacked, so I’m only guessing that the rest of the freebies are going to be good but considering I ended up snagging 43 freebies I’m going to guess there are going to be some keepers in that lot.

Not that there weren’t any temptations, I picked up a few 35Ld offers which I’ve tucked away for next Christmas.

This “Holiday Seasons 35L Sales Event” goes on till the 5th so enough time left to check it out.

Holiday Seasons 35Ld Sale Event

Day 22 !g0 Advent Gift (and mention of freebies).

Another pom pom sweater/jumper from !g0 and I ain’t complaining.

I have a picture where I’m not looking so dopey but dopey is how I feel.

I finally finished the Winter Hop & Shop event and OMAHI! The gifts, the generosity has been outstanding not only for the freebies but again remember every stall/shop at this event has a big discount going on and I’ve indulged not only in the dress I showed you but also some new hairs which brings me to Mina’s.

I didn’t realise that she too has a stall at this event and that means a FREE hair, nope not the one I’m wearing in this picture because oops I binned it lol.  Because of the recent generosity of gifts I’ve been trashing everything as fast as I’ve been unpacking it and then trashing the trash and somehow I ended up binning the FREE Mina!  I’m done with this event, I finally managed to work my way through the last shopping mall and I just don’t want to return and pick up a second copy so I will leave it up to you to pick it up.  ]

This post is more of a reminder that not only are there all of those gifts BUT each stall/shop has big and small discounts going on and you saw the dress I treated myself to and soon you will see the new hair I bought for myself BUT one of my all-time Fav Mina’s hair, Leslie, is discounted to 150Ld.  Leslie is the stunning, classy, updo covered in pearls! A hud is included for you to change it around.  So if you’ve not been or you missed it then check out the Mina shop at this event.  Sorry I can’t give you the direct LM but I’m 99% sure it was in the last 2 malls I visited so I’ve put the link to each of them.

Never Fails. (Cheapies, Hunt & Freebies).

I went to the “The Artists Shed” and the “Snow Day Cart Sale & Hunt Event” event and all I got one this one lousy picture.

I lie because I actually scored a heck of a lot both from the hunts going on inside the The Artists Shed and the Candy Canes are so easy to find and to top that all off the carts have a lot of offers and freebies so I have quite a haul to work through.

The Candy Canes are hidden around the sim do cost but only 2Lds and you can click on the cane and check to see if the contents are something you’d like but at only 2Lds it’s not a lot of money to lose if you don’t like your prize.

BTW Make sure to check out the back of the The Artists Shed shop as there is a room back there with some Christmas Deccies, I love the simple plain Christmas tree in a tub they remind me of my childhood and if you like a quirky giggle then check out the pile of snowballs.

PS.  There is also 3 separate hunts going on in the Artist shop as well.

No! No! No! (Freebies & Bargains).

I simply refuse to start getting into the Christmas mood until maybe the first week of December but this Humbug Sheep was just too good to not show you now plus it gives me every excuse to babble on again.

The reason I can’t delay showing you Humbug is that I picked him up from a Redeux event.  We all know this event well but this one is just for Black Friday/Weekender and so basically it’s only on for 3 or 4 days….now I’m LM grabbing I can see this does go on till the 3rd which is Monday.

Anyhow almost every stall has a gift out for us and even I have indulged in treating myself to a few paid-for items as there are some great bargains and nice stuff to be had.

I am now going to have to log in, sit on something and work my way through my 2 hoards as my invent is as bloated as my stomach is after eating a whole tub of Ben n Jerry’s.

PS. I clicked on Humbug here and this is the message I got.

“Baaaa HUMBUG!: Christmas is stupid anyway”

Then I clicked again which was too soon after the last message…it made me chuckle.

“Baaaa HUMBUG!: Oh come on… a sheep has needs too you know….I’m off taking a crap. Try again in a minute.”

Black Friday & Cyber Monday.

I’ve found my feet and these 35Ld bargains.(Mention of Freebies & Lesson 101).

Yup, I’ve managed to recover the rest of my invent inc my feet lol.  I’ll put how I did it at the end of this post and also cut and paste the very helpful advice I got off Imp, you all get nicknames from me.

I’ve been a member of the Legendaire group for quite a while now and you get frequent notices of some superb offers and freebies but it has been quite a while since I popped over until now.

I zoomed in on these as soon as I walked into the Outlet and Group Gift Room and once I’d tried the demo on and found they fitted over my fav jeans they were in the proverbial shopping bag.

You do get 2 versions, socks or sockless, and obviously, I’m wearing the sockless ones as I’m not too keen on the socks.  You also get a 10 colour hud which allows you to change the socks, laces and boot.  Only 35Lds a bargain as well.

Next to these on the wall is a full outfit of a shirt/skirt and these boots for the same price which makes for an even greater bargain but the boots in that pack don’t have the colour hud and I wanted the colour hud more than the full outfit.

So one wall is lovely discounts and the other is Free to join Group Gifts.  I did spot some new to me stuff but I didn’t bother grabbing.

PS.  To get a demo sent to you, I suggest you do try it out first, just click on the picture and have a demo sent.

As for recovering Lost Invent this is how I did it which is one step more than you used to have to do.

“In firestorm go to avatar>preferences>network&files>directories tab, at the top, next to the cache size slider is a single button “clear inventory cache”. Instead of clearing the default cache”

In the old days you just had to go into the “Network & FIles” and “clear cache” but it looks like you now need to do this one step further.  DON’T PANIC if you’re not tech-savvy, it’s actually quite simple and clear…go  check it now.

Way to much. (Freebies & Cheapies & a NEW Mina).

A new small shopping mall has opened called Boulevard Illuminati and although not all of the shops so far have tenants those which do are some of SL’s most recognisable names including No Cabide which is where this freebie comes from.

I have a tendency to unpack and the first thing I find which has me going “ooo” is what you get to see.  I didn’t actually care for this at first as it’s just too pale a blue for me but the more I looked at it the more I like it.  You really do stand out in it, its form-fitting, simple and yet stylish.  There is a whole gift box of old gifts on the desk in the No Cabide shop.

From the quick scan I had of this shopping mall there seems to be some freebie/cheapies etc in the other shops and you will see scattered on the ground gift bags.  I think somethings come with a price tag but just a token price tag.  I’m heading back to grab the rest soon.

As for the hair it new and old at the same time.  Called Carian which is the same name as a very recent hair but that hair is a “hat/hair” and this is the hair without the hat.  At first, I couldn’t understand why but as soon as I put it on I could see that without the hat it’s just a very wearable hair.  As standard, you get a big colour hud and a styling hud and as standard, the link to Mina’s mainshop as this hair is only for sale at the new FaMESHed event and it’s not even worth trying to squeeze in there.  So try it on at Mina’s first and get the LM for a later date.

PS. Though, if you’re on a budget don’t buy this till I show you the other NEW Mina hair, trust me it’s worth the wait.
