    If you love the jumper and it makes you feel happy wearing it then it’s a worthwhile purchase 😎

    Good morning and happy Thursday ☕️📚🍫☕️
    I realised I lied yesterday 🤣 to myself and to you! I said I’d not had clothes for ages, but actually I’d bought a lovely T-shirt just this month…oops. This is how money disappears isn’t it! I normally have plain T-shirts but this was a retro one with a cat face looking up in front of a sunset, but still mostly black 😁 too cute to ignore.
    no plans today apart from work…insert sad face here.
    I hope you all have a fantastic Thursday filled with nice things and plenty of your favourite chocolate ☕️📚🍫🧁

    Good morning WW. I've had a few bits of clothes lately but we only buy what's needed whens needed so nothing extravagant. We both keep fairly minimal wardrobes and couldn't give a toss if seen in the same thing frequently which helps 🤣
    I seem to be stopping the same size (a curvasious 20)so will get a few more bits now I know they won't be too small/big in a couple of months. If I miraculously lose a few stone I'm sure I will cope with having to buy new stuff 😉

    That jumper is lovely and the t-shirt sounds nice, we all need clothes and if they're so nice, why not? I am thinking of buying a sewing pattern with my leftover budget this week, I have to see how much it's left at the end of today, it resets tomorrow. I make most of my clothes and the fabric is usually free, so I think I should buy it, right?! :smiley:
