@PipneyJane re the cardigan, so glad it has turned up but I would be looking suspiciously at Mrpip . If my lost black pashmina ever turns up I know I will be blaming my OH
Take care everyone

I’m home from the sun and laughing along that you couldn’t find your cardi…. @PipneyJane i couldn’t find my sunglasses which were DEFINITELY in my bag and my family let me walk around for over an hour with them on my head!!! They thought it was hilarious….

because I wear glasses for reading I thought they were them!

Anyways no purchases so no coupons used and I’m definitely going to tackle my bag…. Thanks lovelies

Great news on the return of the cardigan Pip. I wonder what exciting adventures it had before it returned and tucked itself in at the back of the drawer as if it had never been away.

I have ordered a few things online - I am hoping that some of them will be suitable. Will update my coupon spends if they are.

You know how I absolutely, categorically lost my black cashmere cardigan this summer, after leaving it in the church toilets when getting ready for the choir’s summer concert? Because it definitely wasn’t in my bag when I got home and there was no other logical place I could have left it? Guess what I found this morning??

Yes. That cardigan!  It’s been hiding at the back of my sweater drawer for FIVE months.  Arrrgggghhh!!!!!

Are you so sure? I mean... it wasn't there last time you looked, was it? The fact it's there now doesn't prove a thing.

That made me smile, Pip.  Its the sort of thing that happens to me!

Covid - jab - yes, some people have suffered afterwards.  Always seem to meet someone who tells me the whole thing is a breeze and they never suffered at all. Lucky so-and-sos!

That so and so would be me, 5 jabs - not 1 effect 😊

I love the idea of your cardigan going on its adventures, that's really made me smile. 

Imagine .... You'll find a strange leaf clinging to one sleeve ... a grain of sand, an unfamiliar perfume ... I picture it dancing with some other 'missing' garments. I think my black crepe trousers might be there, although it's many years since they vanished unaccountably.  Perhaps the dancers are surrounded by a crowd of single socks applauding enthusiastically.

I'm another who got off very lightly with both flu and Covid jabs on the same day, yet absolutely fine ever since. It does happen - why it happens to some people and not others, I couldn't say.

All I can tell you is that it definitely needs a wash.  It has a dirty mark - probably from a food drip - on the front button band.

@PollyWollyDoodle  - I love that imagery.

Hi everyone, happy Friday!
I have been reading all your posts (you have all got me feeling so inspired) and cannot wait to get involved with this challenge if it's running again in 2023. 
Would anybody mind me following along for the rest of 2022 Pro rata, with 11 coupons for the last 2 months?
