The one at Cheshire oaks?! ME TOO!! We went all the way there a few wks back (to look for bridesmaid dress inspiration) and realised it no longer existed

No - it was in the retail park by work for about 6 months but then Laura Ashley took over the space. So annoying - I was too fat at the time to fit into most of the stuff they sold and now I've lost all the weight and can take advantage of the bargains, the flipping shop isn't there!!

oh i guess they just closed them all down then :S

Good morning!!

Thanks for all your well wishes, things are looking up!

Today's ensemble is a denimy shirt style dress via neighbour, berry coloured vest, berry coloured tights (both primarni) and a lovely green and purple bracelet, still hovering around in cow print slippers but will probably be long brown boots from next about 4 years ago.

Ds back today from nescliff, and tonight the christmas list will be assembled ready for christmas shop on Tuesday:D Kids have been told to exercise some restraint:p

Thought i would share with you all that in 9 weeks to the day we will be totally debt free:T I am super excited :T All the years of over consmption, mainly on clothes and housey things paid off:j We will be going into 2011 with the only debt being the mortgage:j I owe a lot of thanks to people on here (you know who you are;)) for opening my eyes to the charity shops and car booting ways to get my 'fix'

Absolutely brilliant news, Sharron! Well done.

I've just back from town only to realise I've forgotten something and have to walk all the way back, arghhhh!!!

Today's outfit:
Vintage Dollyrockers Regency style maxi dress (£7.21 eBay)
TopShop clogs (my £5 bargain)
1960's tweed jacket with faux fur collar (Part of a £3.50 suit from Sue Ryder) belted with a leather belt (50p Age Concern)
The usual pile of ethnic jewellery (India)

Have a good friday afternoon, you lovely lot!

Sharron, amazing news!

I'm back from town. Found it suprisingly hard to spend someone elses money and also, lots of gorgeous stuff around, but I don't feel confident enough to wear it.
Got a maxi skirt, a top and a dress in Primark for £5 each, and a striped knitted maxi dress in H&M.

I was going to wear a new dress tonight,
but am opting for my Anna Sui outnet bargain as it covers more
