A new case for my glasses from the U. Outfitters sale; mustard yellow fabric with a pair of Raybans printed on them. Stops me glasses rattling!

Still no more spends by me :A Can anyone advise where to get some decent vest tops from? I like the ones with the thicker (ie not spaghetti straps) with the low back to match the front. I used to like the ones topshop did years ago but now their's seem so thin that you can see through them :eek: oh, size 6/8 please

Primark do sell them in single sizes; I'm also a 4-6 and I get all my plain tops from them. Plain vest tops/ribbed tank tops cost £1-£2.50 each.

I also get them from Miss Selfridge as they go down to a 4.:j

Would love some new clothes but have decided that I wont buy anything until I have lost 7lbs, only 2.5lbs more to go. Should be good for my purse and my waist

Do you work in an office? We tend to have lots of boxes lying around! Or look in the supermarket for empty ones lying around - the big shops tend to tidy them away, but Aldi/Lidl are a good place to look!

Decided that the majority of my spents will be going back to the shops tomorrow : (, I can't afford them! I managed to spend £150 on clothes last weekend, none of which i needed and my credit card bill will be much lighter! will be doing that first thing, then I plan to do a wardrobe, drawers, boxes, underbed and anywhere else I have stashed clothes/shoes overhaul and an inventory! And make a list of things I actually need!

Only spends I'm declaring at mo is £15 towards some black skinny jeans. (Had money for b'day which went towards them & also bought a hoodie)

Have a good friday everyone & stay warm EH xx

Trying_2_b_good is right, don't pay for boxes!!

If you get a supermarket box it may not be the right size, but if you flatten it out so you have a big piece of cardboard you can then roll the boots or shoes up in the card and then tape round it to make a sort of big card tube with the boots or shoes inside.
Then just put a big label, or tape a plain piece of paper on the outside of the tube to write the address on.
Uses lots of tape but the shoes are well protected as it is strong card and you don't have to buy boxes!!
If you think people might complain about the packaging you could always fill the 'tube' with shredded paper or something to show you have put effort in to it and to protect the shoes even further.

I am having a freedom day today Wearing a bulky brown cardigan which I haven't worn in years with a cream t-shirt underneath which I haven't worn since last summer. Its so cold though that I needed something to keep me cosy.

Jeepers, I still havent updated my signature since last week, and have 2 more items to declare - brand new Karen Millen jumper and some workey trews - both great items from my fave cs. I had done so well last week with a decent sized clear out. I am watching a few work items on ebay, so definately in the mood for a clothes shop. (shame really as I need to find a new vacuum and oil filled heater for the spare room I was going to wait for the 3rd electrical item to pack up before looking for replacements.)

In an attempt to get myself on the straight and narrow, I have an induction at the gym in the morning, hopefully a good workout will get the endorphins going and shake this lethargy off me. That's the plan anyway.
