How do you do it Mav?

I am pondering a pair of cropped joggers from TKM. I quite like them, they were £12 but looking at the tag they are actually a size up from what I'd usually buy so a bit big round the pocket area.

Just being in the right place at the right time I think Kerri and maybe having eagle eyes for a bargain :rotfl:

Dont buy the joggers Kerri as nothing worse than being baggy in the pocket area.
Have you heard of the make run 365 ? I have a couple of pairs of short running shorts and a pair of leggings all new with tags that just dont seem to fit my shape size 10. Dont know what size you need. I am more than happy to post them to you if they are any good ?

Well, after being so proud of myself for buying nothing since ordering a dress on 1st April, I weakened and bought 2 dresses this week for £58 each - they are the same style but different colours - however I have set myself a target of selling 10 clothing items on Ebay for every new 1 bought, and have sold 20 so far this month, so not feeling quite so bad. Need to get a grip though or I will be back to my bad old ways!

I'm still pondering the joggers - although given I'm sat wearing them and have just over an hour until the store closes they'll prob end up being kept. They're just bumbling about the house / local shops ones as opposed to proper running ones so not sure what I'm getting fussed about. Being cropped I'm thinking they might be useful when I don't want to wear shorts but too warm for full length.

Thanks for the offer of the running stuff though - I would have bought them off you but I'm a size 8 so they prob wouldn't fit - and I don't want to find out by going for a run and ending up with my leggings round my ankles lol! Talking of leggings, this is my current fav make http://www.tikiboo.co.uk/collections/leggings I just love the funky patterns

Thats a shame kerri as you would have been more than welcome to have them. I love those leggings I have seen them before but as I have so many now I dont need them.Do I

Right been out today dropping a bag off to the chazzer and had a quick look round as you do Lovely Joules tunic top for £4.95 looked new but didnt buy it how good am I

But managed to pick up 2 panache superbras and 2 freyas in my size for £6 :eek::eek: Brand new in Bravissimo for £33 each.
Last year I went to Bravissimo and I always buy 6 bras came out of there £185 lighter then when I went in.
This year my trip to Bravissimo has been cancelled as I have picked up 5 new bras in a week for £7.95 ! Cant believe I have found that many when I am not a normal size and not many places do my size and if they do they are so expensive.

So I am so happy with my finds today also got my DH a Motorhead T-shirt which I knew he would love (we are so different) :rotfl: For 50p so a few brownie points for me

So £6 too add and happy to add it with no regrets

MORE bargains Mav? I'm v.envious of you.

Update on the joggers...I'm still wearing them, I think they are keepers honestly, they were only £12 but although that's affordable to me, I do worry thinking a) I shouldn't think 'its only £12' because that's disrespectful to those not in a position to afford that b) that's £12 I could put towards something else. Natural born worrier me.

There are some fab sports leggings around atm Mav I have the sunset safari capris and love them - OH isn't quite so convinced but i think they are fab. chucked out an old pair of leggings that I used a bit for boot camp in the winter (baggy at the knees) and a very old pair of sports joggers that were cotton, get heavy with the rain and really were past it in the week. Also noticed one of my vest tops has some small holes in and has that slight 'crispy' feel from being washed so often so might have reached the end of it's useful life (in this form, I will then cut it up for rag :money:)

I know kerri so happy with the bra bargains The shock absorber I got last week for £1.95 is the best one I have ever had from them ;)Its the new design and sells for £39 :eek:

Glad the leggings are ok they will do what you need them to do and no they were not expensive.So rest easy there

I got rid of some leggings which had become baggy round the waist and I was forever hitching them up :mad:So annoying so they bit the dust
I also have a pair of capri nikes which the mesh by the knee has a hole in so they will also have to go which I am not happy about as they are so expensive and should be a better quality in my opinion :mad:

I am going on a detox/cleanse next week as I feel I need it so will most likely not do a lot of running but will see how I go

I love those leggings and I think I need a pair :rotfl:My DH will be the same as yours most likely Are they good quality and does the sizing come up true ? May have to invest !!!

We have a Nike outlet store near us Mav I'm forever in there (well been a bit more restrained lately) but got a thermal zip up top, some full length leggings (which seem to have fuzzy bits at the top of the leg now - think its actually from my seatbelt when I drive which is annoying but one of those things I'm living with, they are stay warm ones and got a lot of wear in the winter), some semi capris (longer than capris but shorter than full length) - although these slip a bit when I wear them as I found out in my 1/2m lol! and a fab running jacket too. All at least 30% off. I am the Nike lady :rotfl:

The Tikiboo leggings are true to size I would say, I got a S (8-10) and they fit really well - the waist stitching did 'pop' a little when I pulled them over my hips the first time but I think they just hadn't been stretched out after initial sewing. They have flat well stitched seams and i love them. They sit at a nice height on the waist too (well one I'm happy with). I've washed mine and they washed up well and aren't that thin lycra that gets loads of pulls. Let's just say I'm restraining myself from buying more but excitedly waiting as I believe the owner is working on pole short designs :j
