    Debt-free and Proud!
    I'm looking ahead to Autumn & got a pair of knee high leather boots from the Office website for £30 (originally £95) - very happy, except just read a post that mentioned cashback through Quidco which I didn't think of :doh:

    Not a fashion statement in any sense of the word but I got a terrific bargain at Clarks shoes today. A pair of Gortex walking boots/trainers were £54.99. They were marked as £27.50 but when I got to the till, I was charged £16.50!!!

    If the weather continues as it is now, I shall probably be wearing them before the autumn:rotfl:

    I got a lovely dark brown leather look bomber jacket from Jane Norman, should have been £50 but reduced to £15, there was then an extra 10% off as a button had fallen off making it £13.50!

    A lovely pair of tan slingbacks with a kitten heel and cute bow, £15. in Tkmax reduced from £50!! Today is the first time I have been shopping, for months. I have bought some bits & pieces at carboot sales, and a couple of online sale things, but since I've had a good clear out and tried to stick to my capsule wardrobe, I've resisted going shopping.

    Last night I went to Asda and got the following:

    Cream blouse £3.50
    Earings £0.63

    They have 75% off at the moment.

    Got loads more from the other shops as I try to shop only in the sales; will list those items later. :)

    Pair of linen John Rocha trousers down from £40 to about £25.
    Red ruffle dress in bravissimo (had been waiting for this to go in the sale) down from £45 to £25 and they didn't actually have it in the shop but they had the purple one and when I asked they checked stock in the warehouse - it wasn't showing if you went to the website but they still had one so its always worth asking ladies :j.
    Never let your sucesses go to your head and never let your failures go to your heart.:beer:

It's so pretty and fits like a dream!! :)
