  • I've bought something :eek: But... used an Amazon voucher so not cost me anything :D It's not very exciting either, had a really comfy hooded top that I've been using for running in since it's been colder and it's a bit worn and scruffy for normal wear now, so have ordered a new one. £9.95 including postage but had a £10 voucher so free!

  • Hi Guys!!

    Have bought a few bits, though I just remembered another bargian so will have to update my sig again. So far I've spent 26.99/£200. I found some bargains tho which I had to snap up. I got a "boyfriend" cardi a blue one (my fav colour) in Primark reduced to £1 :) and an evening dress in New Look I think £25/30 reduced to £8 - not sure where i'll where it yet tho. But my favourite thing has to be a lovely chunky grey cardigan with short sleeves from New Look, well it was in a charity shop for £4 it looked almost new. So I was chuffed then I went into New Look and I swear it was the identical cardigan still on the shelves for £15!! I do love a bargain :D

  • Congratulations Gratefulforhelp- what a fantastic early valentines present!

    On the clothes side of things - have you thought of altering any stuff you already have? There may be something on this on a different thread elsewhere. Anybody know if there is one?

    Hoorah Gratefulforhelp :beer:

    What fab news. Would totally second the ebay thing. My sister picked up lots of maternity jeans and things for a snip! She also managed to get away without too many maternity tops - those kind of swing tops are great for maternity wear!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    I need a new coat guys - any suggestions of where to go? I think I'm going to go shopping on Monday or Tuesday! I don't want to spend loads but I do want something nice (and practical!).

  • Congrts greatfulforhelp - Fab news

    I would second the ebay idea aswell as I sold all my old matn things on ebay for a pittance.I bought loads of it in the blooming marvellous/jojomamanbebe sales so I would check out those sites when they have sales (very expensive usually though so I always waited for sales

    Also try normal shops as loads of styles would accomodate a bump now a days

    Hope everyones well.Ive been so tempted to spend recently.was cross with myself as I ordered loads of things form the boden sale (promptly sent it all back and it was free postage so didnt spend a penny!) but I was sooo cross with myself for even looking in the first place! I was panic buying as I do need some more smart things as Ive changed jobs and boden is lovely but well out of my price range unless a sale. No damage done and a lesson learnt though!

    Not bought anything else though so trying to be good now! still ebaying though which is great as I made another £30 ( to help me through till payday rather than add to clothes fund!)
