    Ahhh So sorry these were sold yesterday at the sale. But what I will do in if any more come in I will let you know what I have got.

    I think in Linen trousers all I have is a Fen wright manson pair left. Which are a cream colour and I do think they are a 10 but I will check.

    After I wrote the post yesterday I went straight to open up the sale and never even thought to look here again.

    But we raised another £245 so its all good :)

    If any of you are around my area next sale is 2nd July :D

    Loving the bargain sharing that's going on .... :)

    Haven't bought anything since I got back from my holiday - having a de-cluttering frenzy instead :rotfl: I have however today been given a black "Postcard from Brighton" lace skirt by a friend. It's very different to what I would normally wear but I'll give it a go & if I don't take to it I'll add it to my pile of stuff for the CS.

    Funny you should mention Postcard from Brighton clothes as I was looking in a shop at these the other day as I had seen a jumper I liked from there a while back. It was a peachy colour long with like holes in it. But didnt have it left. But I thought everything else was quite baggy and shapeless not my style really. But it is pretty expensive :eek: So you did well being gifted the skirt :D

    Yes, I was lucky to be given it. I'd never heard of them before but had a quick look online last night & yes, fairly pricey!! I didn't like the look of a lot of their other stuff either. The skirt she gave me is very nice & well made but I'm still not sure whether it's "me" - will leave it a little while to decide ...

    Darn it! why did you lot get me looking at Postcard from Brighton?

    MavI think the 'Inhale Exhale' t-shirt would go fab with my Tikiboos ;)

    I like a lot of the oversized tops - so long as they hang right (there's a big difference to those which make you look slimmer, and those that make you look like you're expecting a baby elephant :eek::rotfl:)

    Off to scour eBay now....

    kerri that would be perfect with the tikiboo leggings :D They never had that Tshirt in the shop I went into.The range looks miles better on the website than it did in the shop.But the shop is in a very twee upmarket town which would cater for 40 + ladies.:D

    But' Postcard' Is very nicely made and looking at it on line I would wear quite a lot of it.

    You lot are going to hate me ;)

    I think we all need a clothes swap and sleepover at Mav's place, followed by lunch and a trawl of the charity shops :rotfl:

    Or you can always come to me in Derbyshire. Bakewell has some nice charity's shops, so does Ashbourne. Having said that I called in my local charity shop yesterday. I don't normally look there often as they usually don't have anything I like. But I bagged a reversible White Stuff skirt and black French Connection T shirt - £7 for both.

    Mavvy, when you get your next haul of clothes, any Masai stuff in small or medium (they tend to be quite loose fitting) I'm putting my hand up for first dibs on them :D

    Rowan I have just got one masai dress/tunic in a small (it would fit you) in Purple Black and Grey spots its very nice and I would think you would like it.
    If you PM your address I can send it to you.
    The others I have are extra large and not as nice.
    I will have a look and see if I can find a photo of it anywhere and post the link

    I have trawled ebay and cant find anything really like it. I cant post photos on here as I dont understand how to do it.
