Popped into Tesco at lunch, no silicone heart shapped things, only cookie cutters boo. I will have to look later in the week.

Did pick up 2 pairs of tights, one a raspberry colour and the other a dark turquiose/light teal, £2 a pair

Cold, rainy and miserable here today,

Goan - love the coat and the huge silver ring in your blog- its fab

I made the mistake of poping into Outfit after work and lusted after almost everything but was very good and didn't actually buy anything - perhaps tomorrow:p Still clearing out my wardrobe and having one of those 'I've nothing to wear and everything looks awful' days:( so todays outfit is:

Brown leggings- NEXT
Denim shirt - NEXT
Black boots as yesterday from Evans - when I put it on this morning I did feel I should be going horse riding:o so put on my Parka (M&S Limited collection sale) coat and big wooly scarf (M&S sale ) and it didn't seem too bad, I bought the shirt a couple of months ago and have worn it a few times but don't feel 100% comfortable in it, one of those purchases that you imagine yourself wearing but when you actually wear it its just not the same,oh well I think it may be going on the Ebay pile.

I'm having a mood like that at the moment too, lola! Nothing seems quite right on the outfit front :S
However, my toadstool dress (I'll clarify that this was ordered last week and therefore before the self-imposed clothes-buying ban!) turned up today, so I may try it on later when I get home from the gym. That said, I'm having one of those awful fat days, so I'll probably decide I hate it :S

Ooh, the other day in Marks and Sparks they had heart-shaped silicone muffin cases..If that helps, moonbabe..Although granted probably less money-saving than Tesco...

moonbabe - if theres a home bargains near you I'm sure I seen silicone cases etc in there.

Just been reading the new Look magazine, used to buy it all the time but haven't for ages, they had a thing on necklaces with charms/ pendants so just dug out my jewellery box with all v old charms etc and voila I now have a silver seahorse charm necklace very MSE costing nothing!!!!!

Hey ladies,

Snooping on here as usual whilst feeling suitably pregnant and unfashionable!

Piratefairy I love the anchor print skirt on your blog (is it current? I want it!) - the whole outfit is really slimming & lovely

Daisy the new Primark dress (last one on your blog) looks lovely on you

Can't remember who asked the other day, but the Primark Ts come in round & v neck, mine's now been washed twice & it's still looking good for £2 :money:

CompletelyLost that mouse jumper is so cute! I'm loving the studded shoulder jumpers at the mo but loathe to buy one at Topshop prices - anyone good at making things have any idea how I could make one? Would you need some sort of studding machine? (Hope that doesn't sound completely stupid )

Todays uninspired outfit to finish:
Black leggings (Gap - only ones I've ever found that don't give saggy knees!)
Long white smocked top with a gold embellishment thing at the top?! Rubbish description..
Brown boyfriend cardi
Brown flat boots when I go out (if I go out, it's snowing here :mad:)

Hello Gymfiend! How's the pregancy going?

They've got them in Dunelm but just spotted these on offer on Amazon:

gymfiend, i think the skirt was last year's nautical trend (could be any year tho as they seem to have the same old stuff in every year recently!)
and i swear by primark cheapo tees, they always seem to wash and last fairly well and you can hardly go wrong with the prices..

in my local sewing store you can get packs of studs, although i have never used them, i'm sure you'd be able to find some online tut somewhere to show you how they work though..will have a look......

picked up a rather fab vintage coat for a local chazza shop on the way home. Photo on blog!

Gorgeous coat, you lucky thing

I feel inspired to start a blog after reading all of yours

CL- I avoid topshop because of the prices too, I only buy there if I have a gift card, I just can't bring myself to pay their prices and the quality isn't always that great.

Queen- DO IT!
