    Morning all

    Haven't been on here for ages!!!!!!!!!!! but have been reading regularly to keep up with the goings on.

    Hope everyone had a fab Christmas - I'm hoping to enjoy a quiet day today and am currently relaxing in my new pj's and short hooded fleecy dressing gown - so warm and cosy, though can guarantee by 12 there'll be the knocks of the door of the DS's friends.

    Sad to say my wardrobe has taken a turn for the worse lately and has comprised of jeans, jeans and more jeans so hoping this will get me back into putting more effort into what I wear - hoping to clear out the wardrobe today, put some jeans on yesterday from M&S ltd collection but had to take them off they were so low rise so they'll be in the out pile.

    Popped into the sales yesterday and got a floral maxi dress and camel shorts from NEXT and leopard print top from RI originally they should have all cost £90 but they came to £35 there are some reallygood bargains out there at the minute.

    However I shall stop babbling now and go back to christmas activites of relaxing and eating :)
  • Kinda exhauste after a few days with the family. Is that a mean and horrid thing to say? :(
    back home now anyway and not planning on doing
    much, have been lookig forward to a few days off to do some of the sewing projects I never seem to get time for, as well as catch up
    on some of the books I've been meaning to read for ages.

    Hope everyone had a lovey Xmas :)

    Slouching about today in brown cord jeans, evisu trainers and a round necked navy fleece.

    But I got a bargain boxing day at the sales. A navy SB 3 button suit for £24.90 allegedly 90% discount in a suits you that is closing down. Athletic fit so no tailoring needed (I think that's how it came to be left behind, that's a 10" drop instead of the usual 6" one and jacket is tapered so no tailoring needed for me).

    also got a burgundy pocket square for £2 in the same shop.

    Hello! I've been reading but keep forgetting to post!
    Today I'm wearing:

    White vest top: New Look
    Pink and Off White striped jumper: Vintage
    Pale blue lace skirt: Primark
    Black tights: Tesco

    Going to pop to the local shops and see what's what as I have a couple of appointments,
    went to the Cath Kidston sale yesterday, and ended up buying 2 non sale things, typical. It's a good sale though so I'd say check it out if you have a store near you!
    Also went to Ikea, because my parents thought it'd be nice and family like to do that.
    It was hell.on.earth. Don't do it! I did get some cheap plates and bowls for ceramic painting though!

    Morning all

    Just waiting for DS1 to awake from his pit - sorry mean bed, then they off to spend their Christmas money, outfit yet to be decided - at least the snow is melting well, I bought some new boots at the end of Nov, flat, fur around the ankle from TKMaxx however totally unsuitable for the weather, I did put them on Boxing Day but it was a nightmare, fed up of wearing Uggs/ Walking boots all the time. I'm also on the look out for some nice skinny type jeans but don't know if I dare brave the Metro Centre with the boys:eek:

    Have a great day everyone
