    My boss got a £200 designer jacket for £18 recently in TK Maxx, so that's another place to try.

    Some of my new clothes have turned up :T :j

    Proud to be dealing with my debt.

    Morning Red - I've just got over my caffeine hangover - I've been caffeine free for 2 weeks now:jI did this before a few years ago and felt much better for it, not sure why I started drinking coffee and tea again:confused:

    I have Yogi teas which are caffine free and black tea free.

    Well done! :T The headache hasn't kicked in yet but I don't feel properly awake without it :o

    I felt a bit sluggish and headachy for about 3 days but feel fine now. Just need to increase water intake...

    I used to hate TK Maxx too but am a recent convert after getting a £180 hand bag for £50... I tend to just stick to household and accessories although I was tempted by some 7 for all mankind jeans at £50 instead of the RRP £200. Am not buying clothes for 3 months though to let training effots take full effect!

    They sound nice. I do drink herbal teas at home but always feel like I need the proper stuff at work!

    the Cinnamon spice tea is nice in the winter, and you can have them with or without milk. I find herbal teas have a bitter aftertaste which these don't.

    Morning lovely peeps ! Just read that Marilyn French has died http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/marilyn-french-feminist-writer-whose-novel-the-womens-room-proved-profoundly-influential-1679745.html. Her experiences probably still resonate with many of us today.

    It is a highlight of my week indeed.
    I do like simple little pleasures, I've vowed to try to appreciate lots more little things and it is making me a happier person. :j

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
