    Oh sorry hun we're closed now .....





    Just kidding with you :D 'course you can join :A & I do apologise for missing your first request.

    Hello & welcome to AndiePandie :j

    As to new high school uniform & guides stuff ... I feel your pain. I've also just realised that I'll have to buy a few clothes for DDs school residential trip in june .

    I suppose it's a good thing those beeeyooootiful red shoes that arrived today dont fit :cry::cry::cry:. I am utterly desolated as they were even nicer than they looked, perfect in every way except the fitting.

    Off to the front page now to add you in :)

    Haha I feel like I'm forever buying shoes but they're never nice. For some reason my feet are now verging between an 8 and 9. depressing as I'm only 5ft4. I normally buy clothes to make myself feel happy but sometimes never even wear them! Have made a cool £200 from around 6 pieces of clothing on eBay the past week!!!! xx

  • I needed a dark top and got one for £18 in M&S. However saw one today in charity shop which looked nicer on for £4.50 so got that plus black velvet scarf for £2.50. Will take the M&S top back. Unfortunatly can't find the receipt, but perhaps they'll let me have a gift card and then I can give it my sister for her birthday. So £7.00 to declare.
