Per Una Scoop Neck Floral Print Jersey Dress Don't know if link will work. Not very exciting but okay for me at my age. You are doing well with your spending Angela.

Rubbish day for me, spend-wise. I went back for the top in Asda, and also bought some other stuff that I didn't need but was too good an offer to resist.

Also mighty p*ssed off that something I bought online totally wasn't what I expected AND had a hole in it. It was only £5, but it still annoys me... :mad:

The dress sound lovely - you didn't post the link Yes, I'm pleased with my spending, Saturday is 'danger day' LOL but I've got Mother's Day and a birthday to think about so that should help to steer my mind from the 'desperation' buys.

Completelylost - 'too good to resist'
Sorry you had a big disappointment online, are you returning it?

CompletelyLost

I know, 'too good to resist'... I should write a book and call it that! Story of my life
I can't return the item as I bought it on ebay, I'll just have to resell it.

Talk about dangerous, went into Debenhams sale today. And there was a a stunning leather jacket, from Oasis only forty quid down from 150 - what i would have doen to be a size small lol. I despo want a leather jacket, think it would look ace with my new dress look

I always used to feel like that but then discovered that longwear foundation applied on your legs works a treat... I buy a bottle of the loreal 16 hour stuff in a nice light golden colour, smooth it on and voila, you are ready to go - even-coloured but pale legs...it masks any odd veins, red follicles, pasty white/blue skin beautifully - no messing about with expensive, fiddly and unpredictable fake tan (which always looks a bit odd when your legs are a different colour to the rest of you) and requires 12 hours of preparation...it's changed my life and attitude to wearing skirts!

thanks so much for that, i will give it a go once i buy the foundation...

completelylost... of course you can, if it is not as described.

Shop reopened today. It's lovely and we were very busy. Could have bought myself loads but stuck to one outfit and got lots of compliments which was lovely!

Another random one. But when you read a magazine, does anybody else read the magazine from the back to the front rather than front to back?

thanks morocha but at the rate this will take me, they could well end being an xmas gift to myself :rotfl: (I really must stay away from the shops ). Good luck with ebay though
