With December now in full swing, there comes a time when looking at your bank balance flags up two major dilemmas.

Number one: How you're going to afford that emerald-hued bardot cocktail mini dress for the work Christmas party and go for a festive bottomless brunch at the weekend?

Number two: How you're going to afford all the above when you're meant to be saving up to buy gifts for your nearest and dearest?

Priorities, priorities...

Couple that with the fact every woman across the UK right now will be ordering your favourite ASOS items - including that biker jacket with contrast shearling, tassel earrings, sequined long sleeve mini dress and that must-have NARS pure matte lipstick- in time for Christmas, and the idea of making a shopping list has us wanting to stress eat a whole tray of mince pies.

But, fear not, because ASOS has kindly taken the time to compile a list of the UK's last order dates, ensuring no one gets caught out without a Christmas outfit and presents around the tree this festive season.

Read, save and memorise these dates, people:
