    To be honest ,the bras are a must for posture ,your vest tops and joggies get manky anyway so why not invest in two good quality sports bras ,they will make you look better than new joggies and vests
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x

    Thanks guys, bras are deff top of the list as a need. I think the joggers can prob wait, even mind of a bit attached to my manky old ones. I'll have a look for a couple of vest tops while I'm out looking for the bras and see what there is.
