Congrats LadyMorticia! Oooh - I want to win some clothes!!!

Still no spends March - although I have to admit it's not for lack of trying! I just haven't been inspired to buy anything when I've been shopping. Anything that I have like has been far too expensive so I haven't even tried them on. Booooooo! But I guess it's a good thing really...

It was so coincidental because I was saying to my husband how I wanted to get some new clothes from New Look but couldn't afford any. The same day, the giftcard turned up!

Just like the other week when I was saying how I wanted to get some nice things to make our home homely but we couldn't afford it. The same day I got an email saying I had won £500 Tony's Textiles vouchers. :eek:

Maybe if I say I really want an iPad but can't afford one....:p

Freeing a long grey skirt today. Worn once but then a seam split and the hem came down! Mother in Law has fixed so I'm now having another go. Hope nothing falls apart this time!

Freedom day for a grey waterfall cardie yesterday- too warm for my regular woolies

I bought a pair of bronze leather trainers from East for half price,they have white soles and as I said to the sa they won't stay white for long walking through the fields (which is why I needed some)shoes are exempt from my budget so still have £340 left(amazing:rotfl:)did get measured for a bra yesterday and gone up from g to h (so of course harder to get ones ...marks have 1 h cup:mad:.but old faithful freya/fantasie have some and anyway will make do with existing g cups for now.

Monsoon long cardigan in the sale - £32.50
Will go with work stuff as well as jeans so I think it's a good buy. I need to keep away from Monsoon!

after spending an hour being fitted for a bra and then the sa only finding one that fitted:eek:I have been looking at the websites to see what was on offer but then had a good look at my b***s and thought I am only a cup size less than the sa said and I am on a diet anyway plus I don't think they look too bad so decided not to buy anymore bras just yet as I have lots in the draw:A

had a quick glance in marks and saw some items in a turquoise and ornage mix which looked really good so todays mission is a wardrobe shop for items in those colours I can put together and tonight will be PYNTh with new orange nail colour as DH away(yet again...pity as it is a last min thing and have something nice for supper....double pity just thought I could have gone with him:mad:)
