    Hey, you gorgeous creatures!!

    Happy Birthday Vicki, your birthday plans sound intriguing!

    I've just come back from an exclusive jumble sale preview! I know, some folk get invited to Oasis and Selfridges evenings with champagne and fashion shows and I get a mug of lukewarm tea down the church hall!
    I've got three big bags of vintage goodies (including a 1970's maxi to die for) for a pittance...talk about exciting.

    Today's outfit:
    Gold satin baroque print mini dress (Sample sale)
    Vintage suede jerkin (Car Boot)
    Yellow tights (Thanks, Alex!)
    Tan gladiator heels (Matalan)
    Silver bangles and rings (India)
    Silver coin hoops (Charity shop)

    retro's blog plays up for me also...hmmm..

    vicki, it definitely sounds like something exciting is happning this eve lol, but i agree with tsabo, i totally wouldbn't be able to wait and open the envelope at 6!! i;m hopeless with things like that, always used to track down xmas presents in advance lol

    have just had a rather windswept lunchtime in town, went to see if there was anything to take my fancy with the arcadia vouchers i got the other day, but nothing i like in topshop / dotty p / miss s today..which isn't a problem, will wait till i find something i like..
    but did get a couple of things in the river island sale, and also in a charity shop on the way back to the car..will photo this eve and blog tomorrow probably..
    also want to make easter nests now lol..

    The devil on my shoulder is telling me to steam it open. I can't believe he's done this to me, he knows how impatient I am. The angel is winning ATm though.

    My arcadia vouchers are burning a hole in my pocket but I can't find anything I like enough to buy. I think I might wait until the proper sale. Did you get yours MS ing too?

    Your haul sounds so exciting, how do you fit all your bargains into your house? If you ever get fed up of/run out of space for that short pink dress on your blog, I'll give it a good home :D

    He!He! We built an extension to accomodate my eBay stock and Jon's promised I can have a second wardrobe when he's finished the spare room..I have to cope with a measly single one at the mo.

    The three bags full are going to sit untouched till I get back...be like a mini jumble all over again.

    the problem with accommodating OH's is there is no one to have a good row with,...sometimes you really want someone to say ''no'' mine just smiles and wants to give me the world when I'm grumpy...which makes me feel terrible, which makes me grumpier...

    So true, Lost! Jon is the easiest going person in the world especially when I'm having a tantrum...
