Hello all, lots of interesting chat which I am behind on as usual! On phone too so hard to reference.
Shop and Marsha, sorry to hear about work plans falling through. Childcare is so hard and seems to get harder, not easier the older they get. I really want to go back to work but not sure how realistic it is. my ideal scenario would be for dh to also reduce his hours, but that is still such a rare thing and not v accepted.
I like this thread too for being friendly and non-judgemental. Good to get shopping ideas, I've learnt quite a bit from s and b, in particular keeping an eye on man made fibre.
Having said that, I've made quite a few mindless purchases this year and am currently trying a little breather from shopping while I streamline my wardrobe and wait for the sales
I like on line shopping, I quite like solitary shopping rather than with friends or, heaven forbid, dh. I like a browse through charity shops though, but the high st less and less. I like nap (sales), my wardrobe (ditto), outnet, asos, yoox despite awful photos. Love browsing eBay but trying to only buy if I've tried it on before or you can do returns.
Such an odd day weather wise. Been in most of the day as a result. The dc seem ok with it, I am the one going stir crazy!
