Oh dear, I have blown my budget already.

Today I bought a sweatshirt and some trainers. together they came to £170. Last week I bought a pair of trainers from eBay and a pair of shoes which came to £61.

If I can limit the amount I spend for the rest of the year, it might be OK, but I'm not hopeful

I bought a really beautiful Desigual dress off eBay £29.99. So that's my budget blown too !

Mavvymoo you are so good at finding bargains - I so want to hit the cs shops white you when I come to Norfolk :rotfl:

I bought some black trousers for £4 in cs yesterday - nothing special, but looked like new and will go with lots of tops & jackets for new job.

I also bought 3 pairs of beautiful linen Jaeger trousers off Ebay for £15. Great fit but unfortunately too short. Will give daughter the black ones but do you think I could make cut off trousers from the navy and the white ones? Any advice welcome.

Funny Rowan Moon as that is really all I need Black well cut tailored trousers and do you think I can find any nope not anywhere :mad:

If you message me and let me know where you are staying when you come here for your few days. If its one of my hunting grounds I will let you know where to look for bargains

Shame about the linen trousers I always have that problem and yes I have had a couple of good pairs taken up and they looked really good. I am lucky as DH aunt does alterations for a living and she is brilliant But I am sure they cant be too hard to do.

I have got hold of a great bargain but not one I have to confess here. 2 Nearly new Laura Ashley sofas 18 months old and never really sat on as it was a holiday home used for 3 weeks a year !. Showed me the invoice £3400 :eek::eek: For £160 :eek::eek: and the man is going to deliver :eek::eek: They are coming tommorow afternoon woo hoo so excited. As mine are looking are looking tired and a bit tatty,

Darn, no vodka to hand, I have white rum, wonder if that will do? it's so feint i missed it when i checked it over in the shop, and only noticed when I ran the iron over it tonight, but now I know it's there.... Funny thing is, it says dry clean only, but I thought linen was a hardy fabric?

Just found some Dr Beckmans under the sink, put some over the stain and will leave it overnight. Failing that, might dye it.
