    D&G Bra and calvin klien bras for £1 each
  • I like my yoga bottoms. £15 RRP £60. Not the greatest saving, but they are so comfortable for playing badminton and lounging around the house that I now have 3 pairs.
    I want to be credit card and loan free by Christmas 2010
  • A Gharani Strok fitted jacket for £39, down from £169. Fits like a glove. The best thing is, it's still on their website at £169 :)

    An Oushka bag for £28 in the clearance section. They are normally £165 and I ordered it for £65 then decided the strap was too short and returned it to the shop. When I saw it for £28 I decided I could put up with the strap being too short for that money and bought it again!

    You leave your footprints all around the sun
    And every time the storm and the soul wars come
    You just keep on walking
  • My best find is a framed picture, I had my eye on a piece by an artist who's name has escaped me, but couldn't justify the price tag. I found a very similar piece in TK Maxx for £15, it looks fantastic and people always admire it!

    Ive bought quite a few things from there in the last couple of months. I normally see nothing i want and then sometimes see something i ABSOLUTELY LOVE!
    Knowing that other ppl wont have them is always an added help in deciding on something!
    I did buy a modern 'Steiff' Dog in clearance for £11 at Xmas. It was worth about £60 on every site i found it on online.
    I usually find wooden ornaments that i love that are really unique:

    Was £14.99 tho, so not a bargain. But its quite large and is on my fireplace!
    I think its a good place to get furniture, wicker baskets and kitchenware and frames.
    I have a large Cath Kidston Floral Wicker box that was only £4.99. And its a good size with lid!

    Calmia yoga/lounge bottoms for £7.00, retail on the website for £69.00, they are lovely and comfortable to wear.

    I managed to pick up another couple of pairs different styles for £7.00, my only gripe is that you really do have to root around and hubby is not the most patient person to take shopping.
