Regular Ramblings from LookingAhead

la i have second hand clothes, and i love it on the 'what have you spent' when you post of your bargains... i have second hand clothes and proud to say i do, as you say its the whole green thing. Some people i know are so throw away its unbelivable. I get most of my clothes from ebay or the smart price range in asda :rotfl: £1.50 for a t shirt you can never go wrong ~ actually i am sat here now in smart price knickers (3 for £1) and a night dress that was in a sale for £2... i am not a girle girl so as long as i am covered i have no problems if its 50p in a charity shop i will buy it if its £55 in a normal shop no way. I think every thing in my tiny wardrobe cost less than £50... i have no idea how you ladies spend £55 on a pair of shoes/a handbag... i have shoes for £10 or under except my skater trainers which are £49 and i have had the pair i have now for 4 years ~ time for a new pair me thinks :rotfl:

anyways to sum it up i am proud of you girlie, and carry on getting your bargians :j

Thanks you guys.

PAP = my friend was telling me about a man she saw on that programme about the rubbish dump...he used to throw clothes away after one wear! :eek:

That's bordering on insane I'm sure.

yes that was his underwear and they wernt cheap they were big named brands :rolleyes: and what makes it worse was he lives in my neck of the woods :rotfl:See i am the wrong way around and although i havent got many clothes i hord them, i still have a jacket that 9 years old (and still wear it daily) and trouser i used to wear to school ~ if they fit and are easily repaired when broke why throw them out

Hence you are debt free PAP!

When I have to buy clothes (can't often afford to, obviously) I try and go for classic cut suits and dresses that are timeless -some of my clothes are almost 20 years old, but because I bought classic, they still look good, and when worn with coloured cheap primark/asda/tesco t shirts etc, I can adapt the look easily!

I love charity shop stuff - have picked up some real bargains in the past.

I'm really looking forward to the weekend.....I can't wait to go for a trawl around now!

Unfortunately I am feeling a bit rubbish tummy wise tonight - I am hoping it's all gone by the weekend. It can't spoil my plans!

consider me throwing out the recipe that you posted yesterday!!! :eek: hope the tum gets better soon!

back to the clothes discussion, pap I paid £40 for a handbag from monsoon and £6 for a purse to match. Had guilt pangs at the time of purchase but absolutely love it and wouldn't have taken it back.

(just in case your interested http://www.monsoon.co.uk/invt/18946735)

I know it's quite a lot of money even though I'm dent free (;)) but it's not something I'd buy regularly and I'm always on the hunt for a bargain, but sometimes it#s nice to splash out. IF I had the money and the lack of sense I'd spend crazy amounts on clothes and stuff!!!

LOL at the recipe thing! :rotfl:

It wasn't that I promise. There has been a tummy bug at work doing the rounds over the last few weeks and it feels like I've been hit a little as my tummy is really not 100%.

I reckon if it wasn't for my healthy veggie diet I'd be a lot worse than this as I've seen colleagues running from the room to the toilet! :eek:

Anyway about that healthy veggie diet...I have some jaffa cakes in the fridge.......do I think I can manage one?

Right off to check out the Monsoon link....just to be nosy like.

LookingAhead

ooooh check out the bag! oooooooh!

lynsayjane

yeah yeah tummy bug

I think jaffa cakes arent that high in fat, it was one of the few chocolate things in the gym, so have two!!!
