It couldn't last
Bought two tops for work from H&M at lunchtime for £7.99 each (identical style but different colours)

I have spends to declare. I've recently bought a cardigan for £3 and a skirt for £6, signature total updated.
I am also trying to find some new exercise clothes in the sales, as I've got a new workout to try. I'm sure I'll work out at least 20% more effectively if I have new gear...
