    I noticed a 50% off marked stock at my local BHF shop. This is for the bank holiday. I recall they did this last bank holiday. The posters look offficial so maybe its national?

    Bargain of the day for me was a monsoon fully beaded long cream evening dress for £1 - no idea when or where I will wear it but am more than happy just to look at it!! X

    This week I bought a nice blouse for £2.99. It's one of the mirror print ones, cream and purple with pansies on the border. Not a good description but will look nice with the slim leg trousers I plan to buy.

    It was from Age UK.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!

    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.
