    Afternoon guys,

    I hope everybody is having a lovely lazy Sunday.

    Sorry to hear about your puddy cat Dawn, i hope he's better tomorrow. Bless him.

    Well done on the win Yuk, thats brill.

    I was naughty and went shopping yesterday afternoon, i spent £50 on a jacket and a a really nice scarf. I bought it for £15 in House of Fraser, but then saw something similar in Primark for £3 lol. I didn't take it back stupidly, but the House of Fraser one is much better quality, so keeping it. My darling OH did buy me two hoody jumpers from House of Fraser for £50, they are both so nice and warm. He's a sweetie bless him. Since my spend, its left me with £20 to last until the 28th (payday), i don't need anything, so the only thing i will spend on is lunch, so must take my own lunch to work next week.

    I'm very bad a i know MM. I never see things i like, so snapped them up lol. I needed some new bras, so looked in House of Fraser, and OH MY GOD, £35+ for one bra! I need about 4 new ones, and i like decent ones, so Primark is not an option, but i really forgot how much Bras cost. Did look in La Senza but nothing i liked. I will look when i get paid next month.

    Good luck Maria. xx

    God 21 thats great.

    I have to put OH's games on this evening, wish i had some of my own bits to sell.

    I have a brand new jacket and a pair of jeans i don't want but don't think they will make much, prob too much to post.

    Hayley i have some great primark bras, ones with chicken fillets that make my boobs look huge lol

    Sorry lilmiss, I didn't see it. Thanks for offering but I've already used up all of my onepoll referrals as you're only allowed five, though there might be someone else on the board who can refer you?

    I didn't win anything on tombola, but that didn't come as much of a shock :rotfl:. My nan did give me a whole tin old quality street tin full of vintage buttons though, so I'll probably turn them into jewellery. I'm guessing it's from the 50's or 60's, the tins were so much smaller then!
    Finally bought a home
