Hi all,

I haven't posted in a few days, been super busy and had loads to do, so I've just been popping in and out and having a bit of a read. It's still a bit cold up here, although thankfully the snow has gone. At work again today, but there's hardly anyone in so it's nice and quiet.

I've had a bit of a clear out, and got rid of some stuff I know I'll never wear again, or that's long past its best, so I've got a new space to fill. I'm going to hang on a bit though - I've seen a couple of pieces in the new M&S collection which I like. I'm stalking the charity shops as well, in the hope that lots of people are thinking the same way as me and having a clearout!

Currently wearing:
long grey asymetric long sleeved tshirt dress
black waistcoat
black leggings
black boots
70s stainless steel triangular pendant with purple stone on long chain

Currently eating:
a Crunchie!

I've been bowling today with hubby and the boys so I wore my boyfriend jeans and timberland style boots, along with a boyfriend cardi and stripey t shirt. Chunky metal bangle and some long pearls.

I won some fab shoes on ebay today too.

I am considering selling these http://www.coggles.com/store/item/Paul%20Smith/55762
I really love them, but I rarely wear them. Not sure.

Caroline 73 - I think you should keep the shoes, they are stunning and can be worn for all events/occassions.

I love long pearls and wear them at every opportunity, I have taken to picking up vintage looking brooches which I use to hold 2 strands together - must admit it looks good.

As am I! In my wine-induced haze (have been out for dinner with friends, struggling to type!!) I bought Erase Paste by Benefit from eBay after reading the dark circles thread and seeing so many recommendations. After years of YSL I hope this lives up to its reputation!!

In my experience its a great asset to any make up bag, hope you like it.

I just won these to go with the M&S dress.

Have spent most of the weekend in nice comfy casual clothes, and am currently lounging on sofa watching dancing on ice in my pyjamas! Went to the local car boot this morning and bought two lovely neck scarves and a brown polka dot baker boy cap from Accessorise for 50p each

Spent most of this afternoon putting some clothes on Ebay as am being over run with stuff that I don't wear so this will hopefully clear out some stuff from my wardrobe but also make me a bit of spare cash too

My friend lives in the same village so we collect them (and the grey pair I won too:o) so I haven't got to pay postage. :T:T:T:T

Caroline - WOWEEE on the shoes! They're real beauties! And like Daisy says, a real steal at just over a tenner for Carvela. J'adore eBay!

I'm looking forward to receiving my Erase Paste - no post-wine buyers' remorse here! Although I'll be a tad embarrassed to receive yet ANOTHER parcel at work - I'm getting a bit of a reputation as I'm a prolific internet shopper and live in an apartment building with pigeon-hole style postboxes!

Today's outfit was:

Skinny jeans
Red long sleeved top
Navy chunky knit short sleeve cowl neck jumper
Black studded ankle boots

So tired after my weekend excess. Will have a bath, read my book and go to bed. Hope you all had fab weekends!
