    Morning ladies!

    Jas had a trunki its crap and kept falling open (probably cos mummy stuffed too many clothes in it oops).

    Just been to Tescos am not impressed with their so called "sale" most things only had one pound off...thats not a sale to me! lol Saw some lovely tailored shorts said on the tag reduced to 5.00 thought I will snap them up got to the til and was told they arent in the sale they are full price and had the wrong tag on them??? Stropped off telling the poor cashier to forget it lol
    Now want some tailored shorts! lol Saw some really nice denim shorts too, wondering if I can make my own out of old jeans? The jeans in question are a baggy type though so may not work.

    Bought some cute hair clips in Peacocks to cheer myself up lol

    Hey girls, can you keep your eyes open for long length vests...straps or racer back..whatever not fussy about that. I want them for summer layering with shorter tops over the jeggings, so they need to keep good bum clearance!


    They had some nice ones in Tescos Lost straight hem and also asymmetrical floaty ones.

    Great stuff about the chick want to see pics! Vicki also want to see your playsuit :) Oh and yo looked fab in the first dress (cant remember if I said last night lol)

    Tesco disappointed me greatly last night. All the things I liked were either massively overpriced or such vile tatty quality that there was no way I was going to buy them.

    Of Course, of course DB!

    I just ordered this
    SS09205-9800TPS392395.jpgSingle duvet set from Tesco reduced to £1.95 delived to my local store. I'm thinking of using the material to make a maxi, it's quite similar to the second one from yesterday. For that price it's worth a try!

    Ive got one of them too! Great price it is really nice too good quality material...on Jasmines bed now :)

    ETA it wouldnt be suitable for a dress though the material is too thick iykwim? It wouldnt hang right I dont think :(

    Oh I forgot to say lost, have a look in DP. They have tons available online at the moment and they're generally really good quality and length. I hate those flimsy ones that you can practically see through.

  • I decided I have spoilt myself with ebay, because I can get stuff so cheap on there when I go to the "real" shops I refuse to pay 8.00 for a top knowing I could get something similar on ebay for 99p...is that a good thing or not?! lol

    Happy Birthday Tsabo!

    Thanks for that Vicki, you reminded me I needed a quilt cover for youngest offspring so I dashed off to Grabbit for the link (I'm lazy!). Now wondering if I should have bought 2...

    I've just had a letter from the lady that owns the shop my coat's in, she must have the wrong phone number for me - someone has ordered a custom coat! I'm very excited because once someone is out there actually wearing one there's more chance I'll sell more! Grinning like an idiot for the last half an hour!!
