Thanks for the thought!!
As for M&S cashmere...I think they have a different name for it which actually means it feels like cashmere but isn't. I've nearly been lured by that a couple of times. Might just be nice acrylic or something.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

On holiday (Greece) I'll wear it for an evening then as a day dress as we always go out to eat at lunch and I like to be reasonably smart.5 -
