I like the idea of a jumpsuit but how does one cope with ermm...*cough*...bathroom stuff??  It was bad enough dealing with culottes yonks ago!!

By effectively getting undressed down to your underwear - and desperately trying not to trail the thing on the (usually) wet and noisome public/nightclub toilet floor.

Not for me!

My days of wet & noisome pubs & nightclubs are behind me, it will be worn in a genteel fashion at home over the festive season

I'd love a black velvet jumpsuit but back velvet and a ginger cat are not a good pairing.

Happy days are here again for my charity shopping.

I was debating a jaunt to the local hipster coffee house and popped into the Yorkshire Cancer Charity shop on my way.

4 books for £1 - 3 look like they've not even had the breeze through their pages!
1 chintzy side plate for 50p for an attempt at vinyl transfer - won't mind if it goes wrong for 50p.
2 sewing patterns for a cami and a bretton top, 50p each
1 set of mini garden tools for bonsai/houseplants - tiny and adorable, 3 tools for £1!

So all for the sum of £3.50 or to translate, the cup of coffee I was going to buy, and subsequently didn't because I was so chuffed with my bargains, I skipped off home instead

I have a rather fabulous cullotte legged sequinned top jumpsuit. Last
time I wore it was for a fancy-ish awards do. I distinctly remember clasping the majority of the jumpsuit between my knees (after I’d stripped down to my undies) to avoid the wet and noisome toilet floor. 

It was not my most glamorous moment.

Today's chazza jaunt resulted in a cream M & S, 3/4 sleeved jersey top with satin ribbon piping, and an amethyst colour, M & S cashmere sweater"  both from the St Gemma's Hospice 99p shop.  The cashmere sweater had been on sale in another of the St Gemma's shops priced at £20 so that was a real bargain.  Also got a basic long sleeved M & S t-shirt in navy from the 20p shop.

*this was in very good condition/as new but I still examined it minutely for moth damage and bobbling.....

But a good technique - and hopefully only you to see it 😉

Burgundy Hobbs dress BNWT £1. Two other dresses by Gerry Webber which are a bit snug but hopefully by next year I will be a little slimmer so worth keeping them as they were also only £1 each.
