    Morning everyone:)

    Doggie looking much much better this morning almost normal in fact so I am very very happy:DHe is a big brute of a dog so to see him go down is heart breaking, dog owners will understand;)Sharron, thank you, I gave him a kiss from you:rotfl:

    Dressed today for helping OH in the garden (don't fancy it at all but have to show willing;))

    Levis cutdowns
    Black vest top - tesco
    beige cardy uggs - they have seen better days now so have been relegated to knocking around boots
    Levis brown belt

    GrammerGirl - cant wait to hear about the car boot and how much ££££ you made (I hope):)

    Hello all! I'm back home, very tired but pleased!

    Everything went really well and I managed to make £70 pure profit! Really pleased with it and will spend it on some new winter boots. I didn't need the calculator in the end... realised all my stuff was priced in £1 and 50p denominations! Had a few rude people barging in as we unpacked, asking if we had Gameboy games (like we looked the type!) and stuff. It was very tiring and I did end up bringing things home (which I'm gonna donate to charity), I could never do it every week like some! Couldn't even bring myself to look around the stalls as it was so busy and hectic. Had a great time though, good to do once a summer to fund your autumn/winter wardrobe! :)

    I wore:

    Black leggings
    Denim turn up shorts (ASOS sale, £12)
    White loose vest (ASOS sale, £5)
    Grey cardi (Zara, £15)
    Grey plimsols
    Green cotton scarf
    Raybans

    And am now in yoga pants and baggy tee!

    Well done GG - hope the heads up regarding the dealers (as they are 9 times out of 10 the ones climbing in your car) helped you. A most successful day, by the sounds of it.

    Strictly jeans and T shirt day today. Cooking for DD1's giant boyfriend. Just roasted a chook about the size of a small car for his benefit.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Thanks glowgirl and JoJo - the advice really helped, I think if I wasn't prepared to be set upon I would've been quite startled! Especially by the guy who tapped on the passenger window as we were reversing into our spot and yelled 'ANY MOBILES?!' at me! :)

  • Morning everyone!

    I'm in work again today, having spent the weekend at my boyfriend's in London, and today's outfit is:

    - White and purple striped A line skirt (Topshop)
    - White ballet pumps (Primark)
    - Long gold chain with purple and gold watch pendant (Topshop)

    Going home at five today because my dad is off to Anfield to watch Liverpool, so I shall head off to the gym and then do some job applications.

    Have a good day everyone!

    Have a great time in Valencia, judgejaq!

    I'm pleased with myself today, I found an old floral tea dress during my car boot sorting and nearly stuck it in the pile, but decided to hang onto it and see if I could resurrect it, and lo and behold - I could! So here's today's:

    Black floral printed tea dress with ruffles on neckline and hem (£15, New Look)
    Red cardi
    Black leggings
    Brown leather waist belt worn over cardi (£3, charity shop)
    Brown suede pumps with gold detail
    Brown wooden bangle
    Owl face ring

    The dress has red and green flowers in, so the red cardi brings out one and my green smudgy eyeliner brings out the other! :)
