I also purchased 2 nice necklaces to go with the top and some earings , which came to a pound each { brand new and handmade } :)

    Bought two winter jumpers from a charity shop yesterday - need them as we dont have central heating in our house, DH is going away and at the moment I cannot light a fire! Please add £7.30 to my total. That really is it for me now, got a couple of stones to shift and not buying anything else till I'm slimmer.
