Bargains!!

The dressing table has come to a grinding halt today as my back is really, really sore - I was very hobbly when I got up and then bending over to get a tin of cat food out of the cupboard had me breathing labour style until the spasm passed. I thought I was going to have to cancel my planned shopping trip with my Mum and Sis but fortunately some strong painkillers took the edge off.


I wore my new dress from eBay:

I like it because it is Cath K-esque. Incidentally, I recently wrote to CK to ask why they didn't make clothing larger than a size 16 (I am much bigger than that!!) The reply I got was very sweet, the customer services girl was curvy too and she sympathised but could only say that "hopefully" they would go bigger one day.

We went to shops near Chichester, and this is what I bought:

The three jars on the left were from BHS and were £12 total; the sweetie jar was from Laura Ashley and had 40% off - they are for the bathroom, my Stepdad has made me some shelves for over the bath.

The fabric was the best bargain, it's a bit Cabbages and Roses and was £1.50 per metre.

We also went to The Eternal Maker which is a lovely shop, filled with hundreds of bolts and FQ's of fabric; buttons; trimmings and all manner of gorgeous things. I'd like to go back on my own as my Mum and Sis weren't feeling the love like I was so I couldn't browse for as long as I would have liked - it was a real Aladdin's cave.

While I was out I had to borrow my Mum's walking stick and since I returned my back as been very sore - I really should have cancelled shopping but if I had I would have missed my bargains!!
