    Sorry. Of course it's not you. Not a bit of it.

    Your new clothes sound lovely. I would keep them because its hard enough finding clothes that you like but to find them cheap in a sale and to get a bargain well thats fantastic.

    My son actually summed it all up for me once, he said 'Mum, you keep getting all these bargains but if you can't afford to spend any money at all and you come home worse off, then they're not such a bargain.' I tend to go by that most of the time and maybe you should think like that. However, if you find something that you are going to wear a lot and it makes you feel really good and confident, then why not splash out occasionally? I think a little retail therapy prevents bingeing as long as you keep it under control.

    Yes that's so true. Wise words from the young 'un.

    Not at all. I've been installing my Very Expensive Cartridge.

    And throwing pennies at your photo.

    In spite of it all, I have done two loads today. Which is quite enough.

    I've done two full loads in our new big machine and then a mini load for a few hand wash type things.

    As you say...that's quite enough.

    I'm starving........need to forage for a quick and easy lunch.....ahhh, a packet of hob nob 'lights' sits atop the coffee table.

    That was too easy.
