    Good choice. I've made that a couple of times. There's never any leftovers:rolleyes:

    thanks - i've never ordered anything with a code before. Came to £135 but includes two suits for work, 2 blouses for work and some linen trousers (3) and scoop t-shirts (3). Checked and they can be dropped off at a store if not suitable.

    Now need to go lie down - a years clothing budget blown in one day!

    So how much was the final spend and what did you get apart from the bargainous suit?

    Good to hear Lucifa :T It smells good already, though that may just be the waft of wine in my direction :o

    peb you've done well!

    I am currently trying to stop myself from spending too much on this site, everything is lovely, but do I really need any of it? Welll.. I don't have an address book, and the family documents wallet thing looks useful... and the sticky notes are cute... but will it really enrich my life? :rotfl:

    Maybe :o

    Just had a call from my Mum to say that my great aunt has died this morning, so another family funeral. My Mum is going to go, it will be in Keighley so she'll have to get the train up there from Grimsby. I haven't seen my great aunt for over 20 years, she was a bit of a free spirit really, always moving around but I think my nanna (my Mum's Mum ) is obviously shocked. One of those things with an ageing family I guess and I've not had contact with her since she last left cleethorpes in the 80s.

    Good luck. Sending pain killer vibes your way:rotfl: P.S. is it more or less painful than giving birth?
