    I just want to go home now. Had to run a training session this afternoon and now I want to lie down in a dark room with no noise.

    Unfortunately I have to cook dinner, go swimming, catch up on blogs, tidy my room, iron some clothes... Fun eh?

    Caroline - love the new purchases, esp that bag!

    That's so fantastic DB!!!!

    I am resisting craft shops at the mo. Working through my wool stash but I think MIL is getting me Hobbycraft vouchers for birthday so I can go and treat myself at the weekend. I haven't treated myself since this afternoon so I deserve it.

    Alex - I have been lusting after purple bags for ages. I really wanted a Purple leather Boden one but it was over £100 so I didn't get it. I don't know how big that Tesco one is though as the dimensions aren't on the site. I assume it's fairly large as it's described as 'slouch'.

    I'm wearing a NL frilled sleeved t shirt with stripes and butterflies on, with some blue bootleg jeans. I only did the school run today!

    I just want to thank you all on this thread for inspiring me to smarten myself up.

    I've hardly bought any new clothes for ages and I seem to have lived in scruffy work clothes and the same 2 or 3 outfits for casual/going out.

    A few weeks ago, I saw a link on here for a New Look dress, it was a black/paisley print and a couple of variations were suggested for it, boots & tights and poss even with a long sleeved Tshirt.

    I thought that I could go for that sort of look, but couldn't find my size online or in store....fast forward a few weeks and I've got some new bras, and I've found several dresses in Dorothy Perkins and have splashed out :T

    I feel like a different person and am now determined to sort through my wardrobe and weed out the stuff that doesn't fit and the summer stuff.

    Morning ladies, I hadn't realised how dark it's got in the mornings lately - felt like the middle of the night when I came to work this morning. Actually, since it was quarter to six, that pretty much IS the middle of the night to me!

    Had a trot around the shops after work yesterday and bought a blue and white rose print knee length skirt in M&S sale for £7 - I just loved the print, it's got quite a vintage feel to it, and some crushed velvet leggings.

    Goan, read your blog and that bed is absolutely magnificent! What a find.
    Daisy, that's marvellous news
    Caroline, love that squashy purple bag.

    Today's outfit:
    60s mustard & black spotty shift dress
    dark grey skinnies
    Short CAT biker boots
