I'm making up for the lack of spending earlier in the year. Two pairs of flipflops (in the sale) and two more bras - cotton ones! So much more comfortable when the weather is hot. So another 12 coupons.
I do love seeing what other people have made for themselves. My trouble is that I don't really need anything, and my atrocious sewing skills!

After seven months of buying only second-hand, I’ve splashed out - four new bras, as mine all seemed to have gone grey and saggy at the same time. I went and got measured and bought two there, and then ordered two more from JL so I could use some vouchers.
So that’s 4 coupons for bras. 7 for a new dress (a very unusual purchase but I’m going to a wedding in September) and a pair of sandals. I think they’re 5. So 16 coupons total, not bad for halfway through the year. Me-made stuff - nothing happened lately, too busy. The dress was from Seasalt so meets my ethical requirements. Can’t say the same for the bras, but here are some things I can’t get second-hand.Life is mainly froth and bubble: two things stand like stone. Kindness in another’s trouble, courage in your own.1
