    I don't have any scars to compare .......... but I do have a belly like a road map after having 3 kids ! :eek: :rotfl:

    I can compare on both counts- hideous stretch marks and a lovely c-section scar too! Good job my son is cute enough to make up for both!

    I was totally inspired by you guys and I got two fabby CS purchases. I got some lovely wide leg black trousers (that I searched all the High Street shops for) and a cute stripey bow top. I am really chuffed and have resolved to visit charity shops more often.

    Today's outfit was pretty boring-
    Blue jeans- Asda
    Layered vest tops, one cyan, one hot pink- GAP
    Charcoal Chunky Cardi- Peacocks
    Link of London bracelet- gift
    Leopard print ballet pumps- DP
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p

    :o we keep the heating on low over night because of my tendency to turn blue, so it isn't ever too bad thankfully!

  • evening ladies,

    Just got back from jumble sale which was really good fun, it never fails to amaze me how there can be plenty of friendly chat in the queue but the sweetest older ladies turn into monsters as soon as the door opens. I think the jumble sale here is a bit more expensive than yours goan, paid 30p per item of clothing, 50p bags/shoes/coats, books 10p and bric 10p - 50p an item :eek:

    Got a few bits for myself a floral teapot 20p (because boyf wasn't there to monitor me:rotfl:), a cute green flowery dress 30p, a purple top 30p, a summer jacket 50p and a vintage inspired bag 50p from john lewis new with tags (£25!). So to update the challenge that's another £1.60 to come out of whatever remains of my £25 budget.

    I also bought a floral laura ashley skirt but the length is mid calf which I'm not so sure about so that'll prob go to the charity shop tomorrow unless I could take it up but me and my sewing machine don't get on that well...well I don't get on well with it, I'd prob end up with an asymmetric hem line

    Outfit was fairly boring today, diesel boot cut jeans from TK Maxx, black puff sleeve t-shirt from asda, H&M leopard print cardi from carboot and office cowboy boots from charity shop, string of pearls, pearl stud earrings and pink flower in my hair..not very blogworthy.

    Hope everyone is well xx

    Dh also found a £20 New Look gift card on the ground. There's no name in it, and it didn't belong to anyone around there. So I thought I'd put the equivalent in a charity tin........what do you think????

    I'd check if there was anything on it first...might just end up being an empty card?

    I'm jealous of all you jumble sale goers. Never seems to be any round here. you could always ebay the skirt if it's florally... they seem to go really well at the moment:)
