Great idea, and thanks everyone for the congrats! If I can lose a bit of weight my normal clothes will still do ( and don't be shocked, I really have a lot to lose!)Wow big congrats Gratefulforhelp! Check out ebay, a lot of women sell their maternity clothes on in a big bundle xPlease do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0 -
Bought a pair of sandals that were half price in Clarks. Normally would have left them but they are 'K's which are amazing on my horrible arthritic feet, so a great price & a great fit: good for at least two summers now. All I need is a summer.... Nothing to declare, as shoes don't count!I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.0

I have some potential spends to report.... have had to order DS some new jeans. He's grown out of the old ones very quickly, but I found some in Next for £5.... don't know how good they are but for that price I'll give them a go!
