    Oh that is a shame about the dress - hope you manage to get fixed up.

    This one is the one I yearn for.......


    havent caught up with the rest of the post since this one yesterday but

    BUY IT :j:j:j:j you will LOVE IT, and feel so good when you use it, it is an investment in quality and in you which is really important right now - and someone on here is right (sorry can't remember who) when they said you set yourself a treat as a reward, so don't water it down now you have got there...
    (funnily enough the bag i have been craving is almost the same as this, different shape so i can get my computer in it)

    Well done on the weight loss, Hypno, and fingers crossed the mortgage gets sorted out soon. You sound a bit more upbeat today?

    I thought the shopping in norwich was bloody fantastic :) Maybe that shows how rubbish the shopping here is lol

    I've just realised that it's more than a decade since I lived in Norwich - so I'm sure things have changed. Or it could be that at the time I had little money so blindsighted myself to all the *posh* shops :o

    I think I'll put the shovel away now before I dig an even deeper pit for myself :eek:

    Right......so I went to have a look at the handbag, and had a dilemma. The problem was that there was a coat in there that I loved too. Said coat was £150. Red, short trenchcoat type thing. Handbag or coat......hmmm.....

    Now, I haven't had a new coat for yonks, and live in ski jackets, which are fine for some things, like skiing, but don't exactly give the yummy-mummy executive look that I am wanting. So, a quick estimate said that it is about 8 years since I bought a new coat/jacket so I generally get my money's worth.

    Obviously, I walked away, because I get 10% cashback online - no way was I spending the money in store.

    Anyway, then I went to Debenhams to look at prom dresses.....they had a Coast concession there which had some odds and ends of stuff in the sale. One of the things they had was the exact same dress that DD tried on Saturday, but in a different colour (deep red).....and half price :)

    So I grabbed it, got to the till, and noticed that the detachable spaghetti straps, had become permanently detached and lost......so I mentioned it and got another 10% off :T

    So, DD has a perfect dress, for a very bargainous price.

    PLUS, on the way to the till, I passed some jackets that looked mysteriously like the ones I tried on in Lewins......at the bargainous price of £38......so I picked up one in red, and one in black :o

    So, no handbag, but a successful little spree which I am very very pleased with (as is DD, of course!!).
