    thanks...what is puzzling me tho is the skirt is the same style as one I bought last year from the same shop BUT last years is a size 14 and big on my waist but the new one is a size 16 and tight!!!!!!!!
    I am now looking for a new top in grey/black or pink to go with it:rotfl:

    Found a bracelet in my wardrobe from Primarni which was new with the tags on and which I don't even like....took it back for an exchange and got a plain black T shirt for an extra 50p. This will be regularly worn and is well worth it. :)

    I'm back from my holiday and while away I bought a new jacket for £52.50 reduced from £67.50 and £85. Its a new waterproof to replace my one that is not waterproof and is far too big on the sleeves and I've had for at least 6yrs. Still in good condition and is off to the charity shop shortly.

    My new coat is for communting to uni when I go back in October, shopping when it rains and dog walking and it will get a lot of use. It was good to get a coat that fitted how I like it too and in a good colour too instead of green/blue/black as per usual - is in amythest or purple to me and you

    Do you know the best bit? Cost £52.50 - £40 came from my savings pot of putting £1 in everytime I use up a product from my beauty stash - nice result there! So cost me £12.50 out of my budget - now that's what I call a good result!
    final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333

    In work today, I saw 2 amazing dresses I need in my life...they're not out on the shop floor yet though. They're smart enough for work...I'm looking for a better job asap though as even though it's better than Primark, people still talk to me like I'm a f**ktard, and it's terrible money and not enough hours...and the hours I do have are rubbish with 10pm finishes sometimes.

    Mortgage-free Glee! Debt-free and Proud!
    Morning All

    My first Freedom Tuesday for aaaaaaaaages.

    When having a clear out last week, I found a few pairs of lightweight pretend linen cropped trousers which I bought in the sales a couple of years ago (bargain £4.50 a pair), put on two stone so never wore them. Have lost a bit of weight recently - so tried the black pair on this morning and hey presto! bit of a squeeze but managed to cover up the muffin top (I hope!) with a white (with thin black stripes) loose top.

    Hurrah! :)

    And here's virtuous little me finding even more things to get rid of on eBay and NOT buying anything new....maybe I should go shopping at Goldsmiths and buy some gold polish for my halo.... :P
  • Hi all. Just checking in to report a £15 spend on a bag. Ok, so I don't really need it but I will use it a lot. And it was reduced from £35 so technically I saved £20. Hmmm. Oh yes, you lot are too clever to fall for that! Off to update sig.
